IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE [19 records]

Record 1 2024-05-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Non-Surgical Treatment
  • Pharmacology
CONT

Anthrax toxin proteins engineered to require activation by tumor-associated proteases show high specificity and potency in suppression of solid tumor growth through actions on tumor endothelial cells. The toxin strongly inhibits proliferation of tumor endothelial cells. Importantly, an immunosuppressive regimen(pentostatin plus cyclophosphamide) not only prevents induction of toxin-neutralizing antibodies, allowing multiple courses of toxin treatment, but also has strong synergy with the toxin on solid tumors.

Subject field(s)
  • Medication
  • Immunology
CONT

Antithymocyte globulin(ATG) is a concentrated anti-human T-lymphocyte immunoglobulin preparation derived from rabbits after immunization with a T-lymphoblast cell line. ATG is an immunosuppressive product for the prevention and treatment of acute rejection following organ transplantation. ATG reduces the host immune response against tissue transplants or organ allografts.

CONT

Immunosuppressive therapy with antithymocyte globulin(ATG) plus cyclosporine is an effective alternative to stem-cell transplantation and improves blood counts and survival. Although horse ATG is the standard therapy, rabbit ATG is more potent in depleting peripheral-blood lymphocytes and is preferred in other clinical circumstances.

  • Biotechnology

CONT

Some of the AMPs [antimicrobial peptides] may be useful for humans. Clinical mycoses are on the increase with the increased use of immunosuppressants in transplants and also in immunosuppressive diseases. Antimicrobial peptides or drugs based on their mode of action may have pharmacological value in the future against human fungal pathogens.

OBS

Antimicrobial peptide defenses: amino acid chains that generally disrupt the membranes of a target cell, causing the breakdown of the cell.

Domaine(s)
  • Biotechnologie

CONT

Recherche de molécules à activité biologique: les peptides antimicrobiens. Depuis la découverte par le Professeur Hans Boman en 1980 du premier peptide antimicrobien, plus de cinq cents autres molécules ont été caractérisées. Ces peptides, mis en évidence dans tous les phyla, présentent un large spectre d'activité contre les bactéries, les champignons filamenteux et les levures. De nombreux travaux montrent qu'ils jouent un rôle clé dans les mécanismes immunitaires innés puisqu'ils participent efficacement, et cela chez tous les métazoaires, à la lutte contre les microorganismes que ce soit au niveau cellulaire (destruction des bactéries phagocytées), au niveau humoral ou encore au niveau des épithélia et des muqueuses.
