Download or read book Melanoma Antigens and Antibodies written by Ralph A. Reisfeld and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ever-expanding research on human cancer has resulted in numerous technical and conceptual advances during the last few years. Serological, structural, and biological char acterization of human melanoma constitutes one area of research that has received consid erable attention from researchers and clinicians and has generated new and exciting infor mation. In this volume, we have attempted to assemble work on topics that produced some of the most recent advances. We asked each author to describe and interpret his most cur rent research and, whenever possible, to compare and contrast it with work of other inves tigators in the field. We have been careful not to impose our viewpoints except in contri butions from our own laboratories, since we want to provide the reader with as many divergent and sometimes opposing viewpoints as feasible. Therefore, we have not been overly concerned with overlaps in some individual topics. We hope that this volume will provide the reader with a well-balanced overview of current problems and ideas in a par ticular area of cancer research. We wish to express our thanks to all contributors for their timely and very interesting manuscripts, and we sincerely hope that the reader will enjoy this volume and benefit as much from it as we did.

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is arecord of the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study institute on "Biochemical and Bio logical Markers of Neoplastic Transformation" held September 28 - October 8, 1981, at Corfu, Greece. As early as 1860, Rudolf Virchow provided the first genetic concept of cancer by postulating "Omnia ceZZuZa e ceZZuZa ejusdem generis", a modification of the then exisiting cell theory "Omnis ceZZuZa e ceZZuZa". Thus, the idea that all cells originate from the parent cell was extended to the idea that all cancer cells come from the "paren t" cancer cello But how the first cancer cell arose, or in other words, how anormal cell changed to a cancer cell, is, even after 120 years, a mystery. Experimental studies of the past have convinced us that a number of factors contribute to the neoplastic transformation of anormal cell, but our knowledge on the mechanisms involved in this process is still in an embryonic state. In the last few years, however, this field has witnessed a most remarkable advancement cata lyzed by the development of modern technology in the al lied fields of immunology, the production of mono clonal antibodies, molecular biology, and sequencing v PREFACE and cloning of ONC genes. Presently, it is becoming more and more evident to the wishful mind of those engaged in this research that we are approaching a turning point. Thus, an assessment of the present situa tion will be most desirable at this time

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is less than 80 years since John Newport Langley first proposed the role of "receptive substances" as the site of drug action from his obser vations on the effects of nicotine and curare at the myoneural junction. The many advances in our understanding of receptor biology that have occurred during the intervening period mirror the extraordinary growth of knowledge in the biological sciences and in cell and molecular biology in particular. Receptor biology, in common with many other topics in contemporary biology, is on the threshold of a transition from being a descriptive, phenomenological discipline to one in which underlying mechanisms and regulatory principles can be defined with increasing pre cision. This change, together with the evolution of powerful analytical techniques and timely convergence of ideas from a number of previously separate fields of inquiry, is generating an increasingly unified theoretical and experimental framework for the study of receptor function. These themes, and the mood of anticipation that a real understanding of receptor function in health and disease is emerging, are reflected in in this volume, which summarizes the proceedings of the Sec the papers ond Smith Kline & French Research Symposium on New Horizons in Therapeutics held in Philadelphia in 1984.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, research in cancer immunology has produced informa tion important for other medical disciplines. It helped, for example, in formulating the laws of immunogenetics and in achieving a better understanding of the mechanism governing the fate of allotrans planted tissue. Cancer has often been considered a foreign body, and therefore many attempts have been made to cure it on the basis of the immunological principles applicable to parasitic, bacterial, or viral diseases. Vaccination has been investigated clinically for its po tential to prevent cancer [1], and clinical research into the cure of cancer has included active immunization [2], nonspecific stimulation of defense mechanisms [3], and transfer of passive immunity by cells [4] or by antibodies [5]. These experiments have been of limited value and in some cases have even had an adverse effect. The reputation of cancer immunology has suffered, and the concept has often been severely criticized. However, the basic postulate that cancer must originate from the body's own cells, and that the immune system belongs to the principal regulatory mechanisms, remains valid. In recent years new research into clinical cancer immunotherapy has included critical appraisal of all its potential benefits, and also of the risks and limitations. It is dangerous to make unrealistic promises or to speak or think in terms of "miracle weapons" or a "magic bul let.
