Background: Recent studies have highlighted the role of natural elements in reduction of cancer cell growth and apoptosis. Koenimbine, a natural product isolated from Murraya koenigii (L) Spreng is a substance with cytotoxic effects on cancer cells.
Aim: The effects of koenimbine on HT-29 and SW48 colon cancer cells were evaluated by MTT and Annexin V assays.
Background: Cancer-testis antigens (CTAs) are a class of cancer antigens with extensive expression in human cancers. Many researchers have detected antibody responses against these tumor antigens in serum of cancer patients.
Objectives: To evaluate the relevance of humoral immune responses against CTAs in clinical outcome of cancer patientsMETHODS: We searched PubMed/Medline with the key words cancer-testis antigen, antibody, humoral response and cancer.
