Methods of treating cancer and infectious diseases utilizing a treatment regimen comprising administering a compound that reduces inhibitory signal transduction in T cells, in combination with a potentiating agent, such as cyclophosphamide, to produce potent T cell mediated responses, are described. Compositions comprising the PD-1 antagonists and potentiating agents useful in the methods of the invention are also disclosed.

Chemotherapeutic treatment for certain cancers may be combined with low intensity, intermediate frequency alternating electric fields that are tuned to a particular type of target cell. When the tuned fields were combined with Paclitaxel, Doxorubicin or Cyclophosphamide, excellent results were obtained against human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) and non-small cell lung (H1299) carcinomas in culture. More specifically, cell proliferation inhibition similar to that obtained by drug alone was reached by exposure to the combined treatment at drug concentrations between one and two orders of magnitude lower than for drug-only regimens of treatment.

The invention relates to methods and kits for the prediction of a likely outcome of chemotherapy in a cancer patient. More specifically, the invention relates to the prediction of tumour response to chemotherapy based on measurements of expression levels of a small set of marker genes. The set of marker genes is useful for the identification of breast cancer subtypes responsive to taxane based chemotherapy, such as e.g. a taxane-anthracycline-cyclophosphamide-based (e.g. Taxotere (docetaxel)-Adriamycin (doxorubicin)-cyclophosphamide, i.e. (TAC)-based) chemotherapy.

The present invention relates to the surprising discovery that the combination of several agents, each well known for its established role in treating cancer, inflammation, hemostasis, bone resorption or serving as a solubilizing vehicle, results in a synergistic anti-cancer composition. Furthermore, the combination of at least three agents allows the cytotoxic agent, such as cyclophosphamide, to be used at a lower dosage than when administered alone. One predicted consequence of this treatment, therefore, is a highly desirable reduction in toxic side effects due to the cytotoxic agent.

The invention discloses novel growth hormone releasing hormone analog peptides and an application thereof in preparing medicines for treating infertility. Experiments discover that 2D, 2E or 2F peptide has obviously high hypophysis GH releasing activity and hypophysis hormone releasing specificity. Tested by the conjugation reaction of an in-vitro GHRH dimer peptide and a hypophysis GHRH receptor, 2D, 2E and 2F dimer peptides have extremely high hypophysis receptor binding activity, wherein the 2F dimer peptide has the maximum binding activity. With the 2F peptide as the representative, infertility model treatment finds out that, compared with a normal saline group and a pure cyclophosphamide control group, in the 2F dimer peptide group, the spermatocytes and the spermatogonia in the seminiferous tubules are obviously increased, the seminiferous tubule cells are arranged in order and large in volume, the cavities of the seminiferous tubules are reduced and even disappear, and dose dependency is shown. All the facts indicate that the GHRH peptides with the 2F peptide as the representative have an obvious effect of stimulating the proliferation and the maturation of spermatogonia / oogonia, thereby promoting reproduction; and as a result, the novel growth hormone releasing hormone analog peptides can be applied to medicines for treating infertility.

The invention discloses a monoclonal antibody against virulent strain E2 protein of classical swine fever virus and a hybridoma cell strain secreting the monoclonal antibody. The hybridoma cell strain is obtained by using hog cholera lapinized virus vaccine strain E2 protein expressed by Baculovirus as tolerogen, selecting Shimen strain E2 protein as immunogen, immunizing mouse by cyclophosphamide immunosuppression method, carrying out cell fusion, and sieving hybridoma cell strain capable of stably secreting monoclonal antibody against E2 protein. The monoclonal antibody can react with Shimen strain and can produce specific reaction with virulent strain of classical swine fever viruses of 1.1, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 gene sub-groups. The monoclonal antibody has neutralization activity and does not react with hog cholera lapinized virus vaccine strain, so that the monoclonal antibody can be used for differentiating virulent strain of classical swine fever virus and hog cholera lapinized virus vaccine strain, which establishes the foundation for establishing a method for differentiating wild virus infection of classical swine fever and vaccine immunity and for researching the molecular difference between CSFV virulent strain and mild strain.
