Journal ArticleDOI
Certain functions of isolated thyroid cells.
TL;DR: A technique for dispersing thyroid tissue into single cells is described, in which Thyroglobulin, serum albumin and tyrosine are iodinated when added to the incubation medium, although the iodinated material formed by unfortified cells does not appear to be thyrogLobulin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved efficacy against malignant brain tumors with EGFRwt/EGFRvIII targeting immunotoxin and checkpoint inhibitor combinations
Vidyalakshmi Chandramohan,Xuhui Bao,Xin Yu,Scott Parker,Charlotte McDowall,Yen-Rei A. Yu,Patrick Healy,Annick Desjardins,Michael D. Gunn,Matthias Gromeier,Smita K. Nair,Ira Pastan,Darell D. Bigner +12 more
TL;DR: D2C7-IT-induced immune response could be effectively augmented in combination with αCTLA-4/ αPD-1/αPD-L1 therapies in murine models of glioma, and combination therapy-induced systemic antitumor response was effective against both dmEGFRvIII-positive and dm EGFRv III-negative CT-2A tumors.
Journal Article
Mik-beta 1(Fv)-PE40, a recombinant immunotoxin cytotoxic toward cells bearing the beta-chain of the IL-2 receptor.
Robert J. Kreitman,William P. Schneider,Cary L. Queen,M. Tsudo,Desmond J. Fitzgerald,T. A. Waldmann,Ira Pastan +6 more
TL;DR: Mik-beta 1(Fv)-PE40 may be a useful reagent to study cells that express IL-2R, and it deserves further study as a possible treatment for cancers in which the malignant cells express high numbers of p75 subunit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Properties and purification of a glucose-regulated protein from chick embryo fibroblasts.
Robert P.C. Shiu,Ira Pastan +1 more
TL;DR: Immunofluorescence studies using affinity purified antibodies to GRP-78 revealed that this protein was not exposed on the cell surface but was localized in a granular vesicular network inside the cell that resembles the distribution of endoplasmic reticulum.
