Six monoclonal antibodies were prepared that recognize a broadly expressed antigen composed of noncovalently associated 95 kDa and 180 kDa subunits. Antibodies MEM-25, MEM-83 and MEM-95 are shown to react with a determinant(s) present on the isolated larger subunit identified as the CD11a glycoprotein, MEM-48 reacts with the isolated smaller subunit which is identical to the CD18 glycoprotein. Antibodies MEM-30 and MEM-94 recognize probably a determinant in the CD11a/CD18 complex (i.e., LFA-1 antigen) dependent on association of the constituent chains. Cytotoxic activity of NK cells in inhibited by antibodies MEM-25, MEM-95 and less strongly by MEM-30 and MEM-94.

Objectives: To address the issue that most microsatellite-stable (MSS) and proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients have minimal response to immunotherapy, this meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of durvalumab and tremelimumab with concomitant treatment in treating MSS/pMMR metastatic colorectal cancer.

Methods: All included trials were prospective studies with a median patient age of 63 years, of which 94.2% were MSS/pMMR mCRC patients, with a male to female ratio of 1.

Clinical endpoints caused by hyperlipoproteinemia include atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and acute pancreatitis. Emerging lipid-lowering therapies targeting proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9), lipoprotein(a), apolipoprotein C-III, and angiopoietin-like protein 3 represent promising advances in the management of patients with hyperlipoproteinemia. These therapies offer novel approaches for lowering pathogenic lipid and lipoprotein species, particularly in patients with serious perturbations who are not adequately controlled with conventional treatments or who are unable to tolerate them.

Purpose: Atezolizumab-bevacizumab (AB) is the established first-line systemic therapy for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC). However, the optimal second-line treatment for patients unresponsive to AB remains undefined.

Patients And Methods: This multicenter, retrospective study included patients with uHCC who underwent second-line treatment with lenvatinib (LEN) or sorafenib (SOR) after AB failure at two academic centers between June 2018 and November 2023.

The marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum is currently used for various industrial applications, including the pharmaceutical industry as a cost-effective cell biofactory to produce Biologics. Recent studies demonstrated that P. tricornutum can produce functional monoclonal antibodies, such application is currently limited by the production yield that hinders industrialization.

The potential benefits of pyrotinib for patients with trastuzumab-insensitive, HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer remain unclear. This prospective, multicentre, response-adapted study evaluated the efficacy and safety of adding pyrotinib to the neoadjuvant treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer patients with a poor response to initial docetaxel plus carboplatin and trastuzumab (TCbH). Early response was assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after two cycles of treatment.
