TL;DR: Serum from women with breast cancer undergoing surgical excision who were randomized to receive a PPA anaesthetic technique led to greater human donor NK cell cytotoxicity in vitro compared with serum from women who received GA.

TL;DR: Induction and maintenance of antibody and T cell subtypes with different doses of naked DNA encoding the haemagglutinin (HA) gene of influenza virus were examined and compared to the immune responses and protection induced by respiratory tract infection and immunization with a killed virus vaccine.

TL;DR: By inhibiting techniques using indirect immunofluorescence tests and indirect immunoelectron microscopy, the G(Gross) soluble antigens (GSA) in the body fluids of AKR and C58 mice, which have a high incidence of spontaneous leukemia, were classified according to the known specificity of G antigen in the murine Gross leukemia system.

TL;DR: The capacity of ANCA and ANA‐positive sera to up‐regulate adhesion molecules on endothelial cells may be a factor in the vessel wall inflammation seen in ANCA‐associated vasculitis.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that T cell responses induced by DNA vaccines is influenced by the nature of the antigen, and that the induction of Th2-biased responses with gp120pDNA is mediated in part through the stimulation of innate IL-10, which inhibits activation of DCs that direct the inductionof Th1 cells.
