Abstract

Anti-D dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) of peripheral mononuclear blood cells was measured in 69 thyroid cancer patients belonging to one of the main subtypes, and in 11 age-matched controls with benign thyroid disease. Independently of cancer subtype, tumor status, previous operation, age and sex, no differences in ADCC were observed. Further studies are warranted to clarify the cause of the constant ADCC levels.

Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity

Antibody-dependent cellular toxicity refers to the lysis of a target cell by a non-sensitized effector cell of the immune system as a result of antibodies binding to the target cell membrane and engaging the Fc receptors on the immune effector cells.

Adrenocortical Carcinoma

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy of the adrenal cortex, associated with a generally dismal prognosis owing to its aggressive behavior. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
