The object of a cancer vaccine is to stimulate components of the immune system, such as T cells, to recognize, attack, and destroy cancer cells.
Non-specific immunostimulants act irrespective of antigenic specificity to augment immune response and stimulate components of the immune system.
The study hypothesized that synthetic glucocorticoid administration to the pregnant ewe would stimulate components of both the maternal and fetal RAS with potential consequences for fetal development.
A humoral stimulating component was indicated by the proliferative response of tumours and metastases distant from the surgical wound.
When assayed with Mg, K and HAF, the K-stimulated component was greatly stimulated (over 100-fold) by the HAF.
This adaptive response uncovered inducible genes becoming overexpressed permanently, presumably due to failure of the tumor cells to recruit the stimulated niche components (for example, vascular vessels and extracellular matrix scaffold).
Or one might stimulate that component to see if it can drive the mechanism or modulate its behavior.
However, we think that our data suggests that Drep-2 stimulates a component of a pathway downstream of DmGluRA.
In conclusion, antenatal dexamethasone treatment stimulates components of the maternal and fetal RAS, and suppresses fetal cardiac AT2R mRNA levels, in the sheep.
These findings suggested the presence of growth stimulating components in the commercial EBN which could either be naturally present or because of adulteration [ 21].
They stimulated yet another component of the brain's memory circuitry, the fornix, with mixed results.
