Effects of human exogenous DNA on production of perforin-containing CD8+ cytotoxic lymphocytes in laboratory setting and clinical practice

Abstract

We investigated the influence of Panagen DNA preparations on laboratory animals and IFN-induced human dendritic cells, as well as analyzed the data from a phase II clinical trial in the therapy of breast cancer. It was shown that this treatment resulted in increased number of CD8+/perforin+ T cells in peripheral lymphoid organs of experimental animals, in mixed lymphocyte culture population and in peripheral blood of breast cancer patients. Moreover, we demonstrated that when Panagen DNA preparations are used in combination with the standard FAC-based breast cancer therapies, non-specific immune response activity remains at the same levels as observed prior to therapy, whereas in FAC-placebo patients, non-specific immunity is greatly diminished.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Bartonellosis

Bartonellosis is an infection caused by bacteria in the genus Bartonella and can present as a variety of diseases depending on the organism involved. While asymptomatic infection has been reported, immunocompromised individuals are more susceptible to severe infection. Find the latest research on bartonellosis here.
