  5. 24. Determination of Cisplatin using Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography (HILIC) Coupled with Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS): A Study on Cisplatin’s Retention Mechanisms in HILIC and Uptake and Intracellular Decay Kinetics in in-vitro Grown Cells

    University essay from Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Tinh Le; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II), CDDP) is widely used for the treatment of several solid tumors. The antitumor property of cisplatin is generally proved that the covalent binding of cisplatin to DNA distorts the DNA structure, which leads to the death of the cancer cells. READ MORE

  6. 25. 4-1BB is up-regulated in human mast cells, when exposed to tumor conditioned medium

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Anna Johansson; [2011]
    Keywords : tumor; cancer; mast cell; 4-1BB; gene expression; protein expression;

    Abstract : Mast cells have for a long time been known to accumulate around tumors (Maltby et al., 2009). Studies show that they may be important and sometimes essential in tumor angiogenesis, tumor growth and metastasis of tumors (Soucek, et al., 2007; Xiang et al. READ MORE
