Discrimination of exudative pleural effusions based on multiple biological parameters
(2007)
Pleural effusion is a common complication of various diseases. Conventional methods are not always capable of establishing the cause of pleural effusion, so alternative tests are needed. The aim of this study was to explore ...
Baseline levels of CD8+ T cells against survivin and survivin-2B in the blood of lung cancer patients and cancer-free individuals
(2008)
Survivin and its variant survivin-2B have been considered as potential candidates for cancer immunotherapy. The magnitude however of spontaneously occurring CD8+ T cells circulating precursor CTLs (pCTL), has never been ...
