Anticipatory nausea is a classically conditioned response to a context that has been previously paired with toxin-induced nausea and/or vomiting. When injected with a nausea-inducing drug, such as lithium chloride (LiCl), rats will show a distinctive conditioned gaping response that has been
The effects of the bacterial endotoxins, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and muramyl dipeptide (MDP; Experiment 1), and the viral mimetic, polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid (poly I:C; Experiment 2), on the acquisition of "conditioned gaping" behavior in the rodent model of LiCl-induced anticipatory nausea
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is an immunostimulatory cytokine with antitumor activity in preclinical models. Rituximab is a CD20 monoclonal antibody with activity against human B-cell lymphomas. A phase I study of recombinant human (rh) IL-18 given with rituximab was performed in patients with CD20+
BACKGROUND
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a cytokine produced by activated T cells, which has shown powerful immunostimulatory and antineoplastic properties. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an Epstein-Barr virus-associated cancer with abundant lymphocyte infiltration histologically. The activity of IL-2
OBJECTIVE
A phase I trial was undertaken because interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) possesses antiproliferative, immunostimulatory, antiinfection, myeloprotective, and myelorestorative properties that could be beneficial in cancer treatment.
METHODS
In this phase I trial, IL-1 alpha was administered
Morinda citrifolia, also known as noni, is commonly used in popular medicine in Brazil. Many parts of the noni tree are utilized in such practices, including the roots, leaves and seeds. Through a search of online databases, the present article reviews 92 research studies on the biological actions
OBJECTIVE
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is an immunostimulatory cytokine with antitumor activity in preclinical models. A phase I study of recombinant human IL-18 (rhIL-18) was done to determine the toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and biological activities of rhIL-18 administered at different doses in two
Echinacea purpurea (Asteraceae) is a perennial medicinal herb with important immunostimulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, especially the alleviation of cold symptoms. The plant also attracted scientists' attention to assess other aspects of its beneficial effects. For instance, antianxiety,
OBJECTIVE
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is an immunostimulatory cytokine with antitumor activity in preclinical animal models. A phase I study of recombinant human IL-18 (rhIL-18) was done to determine the toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and biological activities of rhIL-18 in patients with advanced
