Although low molecular weight (LMW) dextran has been said to decrease the lethality of experimental acute pancreatitis (AP) by reversing stasis in the pancreatic microcirculation, the actual mechanism(s) of action is ...
Distinct immunologic specificity of tumor regression mediated by effector cells isolated from immunized and tumor-bearing mice
(Elsevier, 1989-05)
Sensitized T lymphocytes can mediate potent antitumor effects when transferred to tumorbearing animals. Employing the MCA 105 and MCA 106 sarcomas, we were able to generate antitumor effector cells by immunization of ...
