Journal ArticleDOI
Pulse mass measles vaccination across age cohorts
TL;DR: The theoretical results indicate that the advantages and disadvantages of a pulse strategy should be seriously examined in Israel and in countries with similar patterns of measles virus transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving alloreactive CTL immunotherapy for malignant gliomas using a simulation model of their interactive dynamics
TL;DR: A mathematical model for glioma and the immune system interactions, that may ensue upon direct intra-tumoral administration of ex vivo activated alloreactive cytotoxic-T-lymphocytes (aCTL) successfully retrieved clinical trial results of efficacious aCTL immunotherapy and proposed that adoptive cellular immunotherapy was prematurely abandoned.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting outcomes of prostate cancer immunotherapy by personalized mathematical models.
Natalie Kronik,Yuri Kogan,Moran Elishmereni,Karin Halevi-Tobias,Stanimir Vuk-Pavlović,Zvia Agur +5 more
TL;DR: A general mathematical model encompassing the basic interactions of a vaccine, immune system and PCa cells is developed and validated by the results of a clinical trial testing an allogeneic PCa whole-cell vaccine.
Journal ArticleDOI
A theoretical analysis of interval drug dosing for cell-cycle-phase-specific drugs.
Lutzy Cojocaru,Zvia Agur +1 more
TL;DR: Analysis of cell-cycle-phase-specific drugs shows that the elimination of somatic cells or viruses depends not only on the drug's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, but also the duration of the dosing interval per se and on the life-cycle parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer immunotherapy by interleukin-21: potential treatment strategies evaluated in a mathematical model.
TL;DR: This model supports clinical use of IL-21 as a potent stimulator of cellular immunity against cancer, and suggests selecting the immunotherapy strategy according to tumor immunogenicity, which depends on tumor mass at the time of administration.
