Post-dilatation was also associated with a lower mortality directly following PCI but the lack of further separation of survival curves over time hints to selection bias.

Screening of Multiple Myeloma by Polyclonal Rabbit Anti-Human Plasmacytoma Cell ImmunoglobulinBo Mu1,2*, Huan Zhang1, Xiaoming Cai1, Junbao Yang1, Yuewu Shen1, Baofeng Chen1, Suhua Liang1 The Medical Biology Staff Room of North Sichuan Medical College, Sichuan Nanchong, the People’s Republic of China, 2 Sichuan Key Laboratory of Medical Imaging, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College, North Sichuan Medical College, Nanchong, the People’s Republic of ChinaAbstractAntibody-based immunotherapy has been effectively used for tumor treatment. However, to date, only a few tumorassociated antigens (TAAs) or therapeutic targets have been identified. Identification of more immunogenic antigens is essential for improvements in multiple myeloma (MM) diagnosis and therapy. In this study, we synthesized a polyclonal antibody (PAb) by immunizing rabbits with whole human plasmacytoma ARH-77 cells and identified MM-associated antigens, including enlonase, adipophilin, and HSP90s, among others, via proteomic technologies. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay showed that 200 mg/mL PAb inhibits the proliferation of ARH-77 cells by over 50 within 48 h. Flow cytometric assay 298690-60-5 indicated that 23977191 PAb treatment significantly increases the number of apoptotic cells compared with other treatments (52.1 vs. NS, 7.3 or control rabbit IgG, 9.9 ). In vivo, PAb delayed tumor growth and prolonged the lifespan of mice. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay showed that PAb also induces statistically significant changes in apoptosis compared with other treatments (P,0.05). We therefore conclude that PAb could be used for the effective screening and identification of TAA. PAb may 23727046 have certain anti-tumor functions in vitro and in vivo. As such, its combination with proteomic technologies could be a promising approach for sieving TAA for the diagnosis and therapy of MM.Citation: Mu B, Zhang H, Cai X, Yang J, Shen Y, et al.
