Methods and Compositions for Making Dendritic Cells from Expanded Populations of Monocytes and for Activating T Cells by nih.gov Posted Mon 30 Jun 2008 5:00pm Description of Invention: The current invention embodies methods for easily generating large numbers of dendritic cells from IL-3 cultured populations of monocytes. Dendritic cells are potent antigen presenting cells which are capable of mediating a variety of cell-mediated (T cell) immune responses, and therefore are clearly of value for use Read on »

Gleevec for follicular dendritic cell tumor by Mark Levin Posted Wed 24 Jun 2009 7:01pm Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is a rare, malignant, non-lymphoid cell-derived tumor that originates from B-lymphoid follicles of nodal and extranodal sites. These rare tumors form a spectrum within a rare and difficult to diagnose category of diseases known as histiocytic and dendritic cell neoplasms. It has been reported in around 100 cases Read on »

MS Related: Dendritic Cells Ensure Immune Tolerance by stuart Patient Expert

Posted Tue 17 Nov 2009 10:20pm researcher Dr. David Vöhringer has now investigated exactly what role dendritic cells play in this process. There has long been suspicion that these cells, which are important.... “It turned out that immune cells that attack the body’s own tissue survive in these animals, and thereby trigger an autoimmune response. It follows that dendritic cells play a major Read on »

Immunomodulatory effects of vitamin D on monocyte-derived dendritic cells in multiple sclerosis by stuart Patient Expert

Posted Fri 22 Oct 2010 12:00am In order to evaluate the effects of vitamin D3 on monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) of relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis patients, DCs differentiation and maturation were evaluated in vitro based on surface phenotypic changes. The expression of CD14, CD83, CD1a, CD80, CD86, CD206 and C209 was analysed by fluorescence-activated cell Read on »

Dendritic Cell Vaccine Study Identifies Subset of Patients More Likely to Respond to Immunotherapy by Medical Quack Patient Expert

Posted Wed 16 Mar 2011 4:54pm in the press release who is still around 8 years later so this is some very long term and time consuming research. BD Press Release: A dendritic cell vaccine personalized..., the white blood cells are taken from the patient and grown into dendritic cells, a type of white blood cell that is an antigen-presenting cell. The vaccine preparation from this point Read on »

Cancer Vaccines – Harnessing a Patient’s Own Immune System to Fight the Disease by Sensitizing Dendritic Cells From Our Blood by Medical Quack Patient Expert

Posted Sun 29 Nov 2009 10:01pm is attempting to work the same type of process for breast cancer that Dendreon has done for prostate cancer with dendritic cells. Some of the other companies working in this direction...’s approach to cancer immunotherapy involves sensitizing the dendritic cells from a patient’s own blood to recognize and direct the body’s immune system to attack breast cancer sites Read on »

Still No Truce in the Stem-Cell Wars…Why (INDUCED PLURIPOTENT!!) Adult Cells Won’t End the Stem-Cell Wars –#1; by David Granovsky Posted Mon 08 Feb 2010 12:00am SO much confusing info (or perhaps, misinformation). Let me try to explain this… Still No Truce in the Stem-Cell Wars A new study finds serious problems with stem cells produced from adult cells. (they are referring to induced pluripotent stem cells – dg) By Sharon Begley | Newsweek Web Exclusive Feb 11, 2010 “Embryonic Read on »

T Cells, B Cells, Polarized Immune Response in Fibrosis, Systemic Sclerosis: T cells and Polarized Responses by Jan Posted Sat 30 Oct 2010 12:00am T cells and Polarized Responses Almost three decades ago, microscopic and ultrastructural studies in early scleroderma skin revealed the presence of inflammatory cells, including T cells, preceding the deposition of extracellular matrix and the ultrastructural modifications typical of SSc endothelial cells. The presence of T cells in tissues Read on »

UOK171, A Spontaneous Clear Cell Type Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) Human Cell Line Derived from a Surgically Removed Tumor by nih.gov Posted Sun 06 Jun 2010 5:00pm Description of Invention: Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have developed a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cell line designated UOK171 from the resected tumor of a patient diagnosed with stage IV high nuclear grade clear cell type renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The UOK171 cell line was immortalized spontaneously by mincing Read on »
