Specific Role of T and Tn Tumor‐associated Antigens in Adhesion between a Human Breast Carcinoma Cell Line and a Normal Human Breast Epithelial Cell Line Open
The possibility that tumor‐associated antigens T and Tn act as adhesion molecules between normal and malignant breast epithelial cells at the early stages of recognition in the metastatic pathway was examined in vitro . The adhesive specif…

Quantitative Computerized Image Analysis of Tn and T (Thomsen–Friedenreich) Epitopes in Prognostication of Human Breast Carcinoma Open
The precursors of the blood group N and M-immunodominant structures, Tn and T (Thomsen–Friedenreich) epitopes (EPs) occur in ∼90% of carcinomas (CAs) but are masked in benign-diseased and healthy tissues. We determined quantitatively on 55…

Flow cytometric analysis of T and Tn epitopes on chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells Open
Immunophenotyping of peripheral blood lymphocytes from six patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) and five normal volunteers was done and their T and Tn epitopes analyzed using specific monoclonal antibodies and flow cyt…

Concurrent immunohistochemical staining of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and carcinoma-associated T (Thomsen-Friedenreich)/Tn antigens in human breast carcinoma. Open
The composition of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) often reflects the host's immune response to the tumor. To study the relationship of TIL and carcinoma-associated T/Tn antigens in breast carcinoma, a straightforward concurrent immun…

Expression of thomsen-friedenreich-related antigens in primary and metastatic colorectal carcinomas. A reevaluation Open
These results prove unequivocally the presence of exposed TF epitopes in a majority of colorectal carcinomas in which both anomers of TF are expressed. These data further suggest that TF favors liver metastasis and that its expression in p…

In Memoriam: Dr. Enrique Pimentel Open
It is with deep sadness that we inform the readers of Critical Reviews in Oncogenesis of the untimely demise of Dr. Enrique Pimentel, founding editor of this journal.Dr. Pimentel has been an example and inspiration to all of us.The modest-…

Are pancarcinoma T and Tn differentiation antigens? Open
Human fetal tissues were studied for presence of immunoreactive Thomsen-Friedenreich (T) and Tn epitopes (EPs) using well-defined anti-T and anti-Tn rodent monoclonal antibodies. T and Tn are universal (pan) carcinoma (CA) markers that are…

Extent of desialation of blood group MM, NN, and MN antigens required for reactivity with human anti-T antibody and Arachis hypogaea lectin. Open
Immunochemical activity of the Arachis hypogaea lectin has been equated, in spite of its different hapten combining requirements, with that of the human anti-T (Thomsen-Friedenreich) antibody population which is of importance in cancer imm…

Endotoxin-binding substances from human leukocytes and platelets Open
We have found whole human platelets, granulocytes, and mononuclear leukocytes to possess high affinity for the toxic lipopolysaccharide from all gram-negative bacteria tested. We have extracted these cells and platelets with n-butanol-wate…

Research and Development in Progress: Biomedical and Environmental Research Program Open
The ultimate goal of the Biological, Medical, and Environmental Research Program is to provide a body of scientific information which can be used to evaluate the possible hazardous effects of nuclear developments on man and his environment…

PREVENTION OF INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ERYTHROCYTE SURFACE STRUCTURES AND BLOOD- GROUP RELATED TOXIC SUBSTANCES OF MICROBES. Final Progress Report. Open
a new method of rotary shadow freeze-etching has been evaluated. The role of lipid-lipid and protein-protein interactions in controlling the mobility of cell surface macromolecules has been studied using freeze-fracture, protein extraction…

THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE INFLUENZA VIRUS INHIBITORY ACTIVITY OF GLYCOPROTEINS TO THEIR MOLECULAR SIZE AND SIALIC ACID CONTENT Open
Twenty-four different glycoproteins were investigated for their ability to inhibit hemagglutination by the A/PRS and the B/Md influenza virus strains. A relationship between activity, the molecular size, and sialic acid content was found. …

Blood group isoantibody stimulation in man by feeding blood group-active bacteria Open
It was investigated whether or not the human blood group isoantibodies A and B could be induced by immunogenic stimuli via natural routes with a kind of antigenic substance to which all humans are commonly exposed, or if the appearance of …

Erythrocyte Sensitization by Blood Group-Specific Bacterial Antigens Open
Human and chicken erythrocytes are readily coated in vitro by blood group active protein-lipopolysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides from E. coli O86 and E. coli O128. Serum albumin, α2- and ß-lipoproteins inhibit this sensitization. Blood…
