Journal ArticleDOI

Dendritic cell modulation by 1α,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 and its analogs: A vitamin D receptor-dependent pathway that promotes a persistent state of immaturity in vitro and in vivo

TL;DR: It is concluded that 1α,25(OH)2D3/VDR mediates physiologically relevant inhibition of DC maturity that is resistant to maturational stimuli and modulates antigen-specific immune responses in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potent inhibition of dendritic cell differentiation and maturation by vitamin D analogs.

TL;DR: Inhibition of DC maturation and stimulatory function was absent in cultures from mice genetically lacking vitamin D receptors (VDR).
Journal ArticleDOI

G1 and G2 cell-cycle arrest following microtubule depolymerization in human breast cancer cells

TL;DR: Observations provide evidence for coupling of premitotic cell-cycle progression to microtubule integrity in some breast cancer cell lines and suggest a potential explanation for the recently reported failure of some cancer cell Lines to undergo nocodazole-induced mitotic arrest despite intact mitotic checkpoint proteins.
Journal Article

Enhancing the Efficacy of a Weak Allogeneic Melanoma Vaccine by Viral Fusogenic Membrane Glycoprotein-mediated Tumor Cell-Tumor Cell Fusion

TL;DR: The data suggest that the unique manner in which syncytia develop and die provides a highly effective pathway for tumor antigen release and presentation to the immune system and offers a novel mechanism by which cancer cell vaccines may be prepared for clinical use.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new genetic method to generate and isolate small, short-lived but highly potent dendritic cell--tumor cell hybrid vaccines

TL;DR: A new method to generate hybrid cell vaccines is described, based on gene transfer of a viral fusogenic membrane glycoprotein (FMG) into tumor cells, and incorporate a genetic method by which true hybrid formation can be unambiguously detected.
