    Biomarkers of cell damage, neutrophil and macrophage activation associated with in-hospital mortality in geriatric COVID-19 patients

    The risk for symptomatic COVID-19 requiring hospitalization is higher in the older population. The course of the disease in hospitalised older patients may show significant variation, from mild to severe illne...

    Main biomarkers associated with age-related plasma zinc decrease and copper/zinc ratio in healthy elderly from ZincAge study

    Zinc (Zn) plays an essential role in many biological processes including immune response. Impaired Zn status promotes immune dysfunction, and it has been associated with enhanced chronic inflammation during ag...

    Imiquimod and S-27609 as adjuvants of DNA vaccination in a transgenic murine model of HER2/neu-positive mammary carcinoma

    DNA vaccination against HER-2/neu is an effective way to induce an immune response able to oppose the spontaneous development of mammary tumours occurring in HER-2/neu transgenic mice. In this study, we have e...

    DNA vaccination with full-length or truncated Neu induces protective immunity against the development of spontaneous mammary tumors in HER-2/neu transgenic mice

    Genetic immunization against tumor antigens is an effective way to induce an immune response able to oppose cancer progression. Overexpression of HER-2/neu can lead to neoplastic transformation and has been fo...

    Efficacy of cancer gene therapy in aging: adenocarcinoma cells engineered to release IL-2 are rejected but do not induce tumor specific immune memory in old mice

    Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of cytokine gene-engineered tumor cells to induce tumor rejection and specific memory acquisition into syngeneic immunocompetent mice by activation of host-depen...

    Influence of Lymphokines and Thyroid Hormones on Natural Killer Activity

    Natural Killer (NK) cells are a subpopulation of lymphocytes which have spontaneous cytotoxic activity against tumor cells, virus-infected cells, and some normal cells (Herberman, 1982).
