...women's squad is more potent. The Crimson gets all the offense it needs with 29 minutes gone in the first half. Freshman Christin Biggs gets her own rebound and tips it into the net to give Harvard a 1-0 victory over New Hampshire...
Interleukin-2 has shown promising results in treating advanced skin and kidney cancers. In fact, says Gutterman, there appears to be "tremendous synergy" between alpha interferon and IL-2 in attacking cancer cells. While IL-2 works to make the killer cells more potent, he explains, they "have to recognize something unique on the surface of the cancer cell in order to kill it." That something is an antigen, and interferon seems to make it more "visible" to the killer cells...
...vaccine against Hemophilus influenzae Type B, which causes bacterial meningitis, was only partially effective; although it protected older children, it did not work for babies under two years, who are most at risk. The antigen used to make the original vaccine has been re- engineered to make it more potent, and the new vaccine is being tested in infants...
...more than 30 years, doctors have been trying to rally the weakened immune systems of cancer patients to fight the disease. Only recently, however, have therapies been developed that bring some of the body's own most potent weapons to bear in the struggle to repel invaders ranging from cancer to the AIDS virus. Those weapons include antibodies, tumor-killing blood cells and the chemical messengers that regulate them...
Rosenberg is working on a new and potentially more powerful therapy called TILs, for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. In tests on mice, he notes, these cells appear "50 to 100 times more potent than LAK." TILs are actually killer T cells that, like LAK cells, can attack cancer cells. To produce them, researchers expose malignant cells removed from the patient to IL-2. The tissue includes killer T cells that have launched a weak attack; with a sharp boost from the IL-2, they replicate and proceed to destroy the cancer. A month later, the newly potent T cells, vastly increased...
