We analyzed the effects of interleukin 2 (IL2) and IL4 isolated and in association on the specific response of human B cells triggered by trinitrophenylated polyacrylamide beads (TNP-PAA). IL2 induced an increase (more than 10 times) in the number of hapten-binding cells [detected by a rosette-formi
The photodynamic activity of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin (TMP) has been investigated in two systems: reverse micelles of n-heptane/sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT)/water-bearing photooxidizable substrates and on a Hep-2 human carcinoma cell line. The effect of variation
## Abstract Naturally occurring molecules with putative cancer chemopreventive properties such as the phytoalexin resveratrol (3,5,4β²βtrihydroxystilbene) are lead molecules that guide the design of novel agents with improved pharmacologic properties.
