BACKGROUND Ifosfamide and cisplatin are active agents that are currently used in the treatment of osteosarcoma. Nephrotoxicity has been reported following their use in combination and alone. This study evaluates renal function in children and adolescents (median age 16 years) at least 3 months

Normal sera of Japanese quails caused lysis of tumor cells from a Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)-induced quail tumor (QT cells). Other tumor cell lines, including RSV-transformed quail embryo cells and methylcholanthrene-induced quail tumors, were not lysed. This naturally occurring cytolytic factor

Previously, we reported that experimental i.p. administration of fusogenic liposomes containing fragment A of diphtheria toxin (DTA) completely regressed ascites tumors without any severe side effects. In this study, we examined the therapeutic effects of intratumor injection of fusogenic liposomes

A dimeric lectin, composed of subunits with a molecular weight of 40 and 41 kDa, respectively, and demonstrating similarity in N-terminal sequence to each other and to Aleuria aurantia lectin, was isolated from fresh fruiting bodies of the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus. The lectin was

The contribution of extracellular components to the measurement of pHMRS of a variety of rat tumours (nitrosomethyl urea induced mammary tumours, GH3 prolactinomas, Hepatoma 9618a, UA hepatomas and Walker sarcomas) has been assessed. Acid extractable P(i) was between 2.6 and 12.5 mumol/G wet wt
