    Anti-T Lymphocyte Globulin (ATG) Induces Generation of Regulatory T Cells, at Least Part of Them Express Activated CD44

    We show here that the anti-T lymphocyte immunoglobulin (ATG) can induce Treg cells following 24-h incubation in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The ATG-induced Treg cells express known cell s...

    Neuroblastoma Cell Death is Induced by Inorganic Arsenic Trioxide (As2O3) and Inhibited by a Normal Human Bone Marrow Cell-Derived Factor

    Three phenotypically distinct cell types are present in human neuroblastomas (NB) and NB cell lines: I-type stem cells, N-type neuroblastic precursors, and S-type Schwannian/melanoblastic precursors. The stimu...

    Interleukin 2 regulation following semi-allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in mice

    Success of allogeneic and autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is hampered by susceptibility to infection during the first two post-treatment years. Further, in treating malignant diseases, impaired an...

    Mycophenolate mofetil does not suppress the graft-versus-leukemia effect or the activity of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells in a murine model

    Background: Graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect is an essential component in the course of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). However, both prevention and treatment of established graft-versus-host dis...
