摘要: Custom-made monoclonal anti-idiotype antibodies (anti-Id MoAbs) have been tested as a treatment modality in 34 non-Hodgkin9s lymphoma (NHL) patients. Partial or complete tumor remissions induced with this 68% of these One mechanism by which anti- idiotype may responses is via direct antiproliferative effect on the cells, resulting apoptosis. Primary NHL cells do not proliferate well enough vitro to test hypothesis directly. Therefore, we studied signal transduction through surface Ig receptor measured induction cellular protein tyrosine phosphorylation. To assess whether bcl-2 could protect from death anti-Id MoAb, also level same cells. We found strong correlation between ability an MoAb induce increase phosphorylation and its regression patient. By contrast, expressed was correlated clinical response treatment.
