In pathology, Immunohistochemical staining (IHC) of tissue sections is regularly used to diagnose and grade malignant tumors. Typically, IHC stain interpretation is rendered by a trained pathologist using a manual method, which consists of counting e...
The authors report on an electrochemical immunosensor for the tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 15-3 (CA15-3). It is based on the use of a composite consisting of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and copper sulfide (CuS) that was placed on a screen-print...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This study explored the association between a single-nucleotide polymorphism of prostate stem cell antigen and prostate cancer in Chinese patients undergoing prostate biopsy.
Tumor exomes provide comprehensive information on mutated, overexpressed genes and aberrant splicing, which can be exploited for personalized cancer immunotherapy. Of particular interest are mutated tumor antigen T-cell epitopes, because neoepitope-s...
Assay of multiple serum tumor markers such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen (CYFRA21-1), and neuron specific enolase (NSE), is important for the early diagnosis of lung cancer. Dickkopf-1 (DKK1), a novel serological ...
Motivated by an ongoing study to develop a screening test able to identify patients with undiagnosed Sjögren's Syndrome in a symptomatic population, we propose methodology to combine multiple biomarkers and evaluate their performance in a two-stage g...
Neoantigens represent a class of antigens within tumor microenvironments that arise from diverse somatic mutations and aberrations specific to tumorigenesis, holding substantial promise for advancing tumor immunotherapy. However, only a subset of neo...
T cells targeting epitopes in infectious diseases or cancer play a central role in spontaneous and therapy-induced immune responses. Epitope recognition is mediated by the binding of the T cell receptor (TCR), and TCRs recognizing clinically relevant...
BACKGROUND: Trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2) is a promising target for various cancers, including breast cancer. The development of noninvasive techniques for assessing TROP2 expression in tumors holds considerable importance. This study ai...
MOTIVATION: Neoantigens, derived from somatic mutations in cancer cells, can elicit anti-tumor immune responses when presented to autologous T cells by human leukocyte antigen. Identifying immunogenic neoantigens is crucial for cancer immunotherapy d...
