CD4+ helper T cells differentiate into distinct subtypes, Th1 and Th2 cells. Th2 cells are involved in the response to extracellular helminthe parasites and allergic responses and secrete a distinct set of cytokines including IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13. The development and differentiation of T cells is influenced by many factors, including transcription factors such as GATA-3, a transcription factor associated with inducti......閱讀全文

血液腫瘤主要包括各類白血病、多發性骨髓瘤以及惡性淋巴瘤。急性白血病占常見惡性腫瘤的第八位,淋巴瘤也是在前十位,并且發病率逐年升高,多發性骨髓瘤的整個發病率在血液惡性腫瘤里面占10%。 血液腫瘤發病急,在傳統的放療、化療、骨髓移植等治療方式下,治療周期長、費用高昂、過程痛苦,但治愈率卻并不很
二、細胞實驗效果不錯,那動物實驗怎么做?穩定性、重復性較好的動物模型可在腫瘤基礎性研究和抗腫瘤藥物篩選中發揮重要作用。血液腫瘤常用的動物模型主要有:I皮下移植瘤模型;II血液模型。皮下移植瘤模型較容易建立,易于動態觀察腫瘤的生長狀態。血液模型則一般以生存天數作為觀察終點,用活體成像、病理切片、流式細
