Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIV-1-Specific CTL Recognizing a Scarce Epitope Are Not Suppressed by HIV-1 Protease InhibitorsOtto O. YangHIV-1-protease inhibitors have received growing attention as agents that can affect proteases in human proteasomes, with potentially deleterious effects for HIV-1-specific cellular immunity. Studying the antiviral activity of HIV-1-specific CTL that recognize an epitope that is presented at limiting concentrations on infected cells, we find that several HIV-1 protease inhibitors do not affect their function. These data indicate that these … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,019 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordQuercetin Iron (III) Complex Enhances Radiation-Induced Cell Death in Human Erythroleukemic Cell Lines by Increasing the Generation of Intracellular ROSJiraporn Kantapan, Krai Daowtak, Kachaporn Gateprayoon et al.Quercetin iron (III) complex (IronQ) is a paramagnetic agent which exhibits several biological effects. Despite extensive studies about quercetin metal complex, the role of complexes to enhance the effect of radiation still remains unexplored. To this end, we determined whether and how IronQ sensitizes cancer cells to Ionizing Radiation (IR). Doxorubicin resistant leukemic cells (K562/Adr) and their parental cell lines … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 16 Jan 2017 · 8,068 accessesView PDFCite
