Source of molecular triggers in cutaneous T cell lymphoma identified
In a study published in the journal Blood, Yale scientists identify the molecular triggers that stimulate Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) cells to clonally expand into large populations of malignant lymphocytes. CTCL is the most common adult malignancy of T lymphocytes, the white blood cells of the immune system. Finding CTCL triggering factors has been a major goal of Richard L. Edelson...Imaging Lymph Nodes with Nanoparticles
Accurate staging of cancers is one of the most important parts of thework up of patients for both prediction of prognosis and determinationof the most appropriate treatment. And an essential part of this workup is assessing wh...Potential Cure for Lymphoma in HIV patients
Stem cell transplants have become thestandard of care for patients with relapsed lymphoma, but not forpatients who suffer from both this disease and HIV. A new study showingthat this treatment is a viable option for select patients withHIV-associated lymphoma will be published in the January 15, 2005,issue of Blood, the official journal of the American Society ofHematology.Because of the i...TEL2 gene cooperates with MYC gene to provoke B-cell lymphomas
The genes TEL2 and MYC cooperate with each other to promote pediatric cases of the immune system cancer B-cell lymphoma. This finding, from investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, is published in the current issue of Molecular Cell Biology (MCB). B-cell lymphoma is a cancer in which the antibody-producing cells (B lymphocytes) multiply uncontrollably and crowd out other blo...New Treatment Rivals Chemotherapy For Lymphoma, Study Finds
A new form of treatment for lymphoma that takes a fraction of the ti...A - 20 cell line slides ( mouse: B lymphocyte; reticulum cell sarcoma ) from GeneTex
Description:Mouse A-20 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 with 2 mM L-glutamine and harvested at the log phase of growth. In order to keep the antigens in their native forms, cells were fixed in acetone-methanol. The cells are arrayed on a 12-well (5 mm) adhesive coated slide, with each wells surface specifically treated to enhance cellular attachment and to minimize background staining. Each well is loaded...L1210 cell line slides ( mouse: lymphocytic leukemia ) from GeneTex
Description:Mouse L1210 cells were cultured in DMEM and harvested at the log phase of growth. In order to keep the antigens in their native forms, cells were fixed in acetone-methanol. The cells are arrayed on a 12-well (5 mm) adhesive coated slide, with each wells surface specifically treated to enhance cellular attachment and to minimize background staining. Each well is loaded with approximately 7. 5 x...EL - 4 cell line slides ( mouse: T lymphocyte; lymphoma ) from GeneTex
Description:Mouse EL-4 cells were cultured in DMEM and harvested at the log phase of growth. In order to keep the antigens in their native forms, cells were fixed in acetone-methanol. The cells are arrayed on a 12-well (5 mm) adhesive coated slide, with each wells surface specifically treated to enhance cellular attachment and to minimize background staining. Each well is loaded with approximately 7. 5 x...MOLT - 4 cell line slides ( human: T lymphoblast; acute lymphoblastic leukemia ) from GeneTex
Description:Human MOLT-4 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 with 2 mM L-glutamine and harvested at the log phase of growth. In order to keep the antigens in their native forms, cells were fixed in acetone-methanol. The cells are arrayed on a 12-well (5 mm) adhesive coated slide, with each wells surface specifically treated to enhance cellular attachment and to minimize background staining. Each well is load...Raji cell line slides ( human: B lymphocyte; Burkitt's lymphoma ) from GeneTex
Description:Human Raji cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium with 2 mM L-glutamine and harvested at the log phase of growth. In order to keep the antigens in their native forms, cells were fixed in acetone-methanol. The cells are arrayed on a 12-well (5 mm) adhesive coated slide, with each wells surface specifically treated to enhance cellular attachment and to minimize background staining. Each well is...BD IMag Human Regulatory T Lymphocyte Separation Set for Isolation of Treg Cells
BD Biosciences is pleased to introduce the BD IMag Human Regulatory T Lymphocyte Separation Set DM (Cat. No. 558142) for the isolation of Treg cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The reagent set isolates Treg cells in two stages. First, negative selection is performed using BD IMag streptavidin particles with a cocktail of biotinylated monoclonal antibodies that rec...Lymphoma's Link to Hepatitis C
Researchers at the University of Hopkins found a new study shows some cancer patients who also have the hepatitis C virus may benefit from treatment with the drug, interferon.Past research has suggested a connection between the hepatitis C virus and some B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma's. //A patient with both of these diseases was treated with the antiviral treatment interferon. The patient resp...Lymphedema patients can benefit form exercise
Lymphedema, which is a common problem for breast cancer patients, is an abnormal buildup of fluid that causes swelling, most often in the arms or legs, and develops when lymph vessels or lymph nodes are missing, impaired, damaged, or removed. Secondary lymphedema can develop from infection, malignancy, surgery, scar tissue formation, trauma,// deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in a vein), radiatio...A Vaccine For Non – Hodgkin’s Lymphom
At present researchers have discovered vaccines to various diseases such as flu, measles, whooping cough and other illnesses. Now, scientists are testing vaccines to keep cancer from coming back. // Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer of the lymph system that almost always comes back, even after chemotherapy and eventually most of these patients ultimately develop resistant disease and...Helicobacter pylori Antibiotic Treatment of Peptic Ulcer May not Prevent Gastric lymphomas
Stanford, CA -- Successful eradication of Helicobacter may not prevent future aggressive gastric lymphoma since resting B cells are left behind. This was reported by Research led by Dr. Anne Mueller at Stanford University // School of Medicine. The paper by Mueller et al., "The role of antigenic drive and tumor-infiltrating accessory cells in the pathogenesis of Helicobacter-induced MA...Antigen Proliferation, Lymphocytes
