Overexpression of heterologous protein in prokaryotic host cells, such as Escherichia coli, usually leads to formation of inactive and insoluble aggregates known as inclusion bodies (IBs). Recovery of refolded and functionally bioactive proteins from IBs is a challenging task, and a unique condition (e.g.

However, antitumor immune responses of DCs are significantly influenced by how TCLs were prepared. Here, we compared four strategies of TCL preparation derived from colon cancer cells, HT-29, for maturation of DCs.

As the immune system is greatly affected by excess weight, in this review of reviews, we discuss the findings of review articles about the relationship between childhood/maternal obesity and children's immune system. We searched English-language articles in PubMed, Scopus, ISI Thomson Reuters, and Google Scholar databases.
