PURPOSE
Inhibition of the function of Bcl-2 protein has been postulated to sensitize cells to cytotoxic chemotherapy. G3139 (Genasense) is a phosphorothioate anti-Bcl-2 antisense oligonucleotide, but… (More)

PURPOSE
Inhibition of the function of the bcl-2 protein has been postulated to sensitize cells to cytotoxic chemotherapy, and thus provides an attractive target for investigative therapies. G3139, a… (More)
In a previous study, we showed that G3139, an antisense phosphorothioate oligonucleotide that down-regulates the expression of Bcl-2 protein, did not cause chemosensitization of 518A2 melanoma cells.… (More)

PURPOSE
G3139 is an antisense bcl-2 phosphorothioate oligodeoxyribonucleotide that is currently being evaluated in Phase III clinical trials in several human cancers. The aim of the present work was… (More)
G3139, an antisense Bcl-2 phosphorothioate oligodeoxyribonucleotide, induces apoptosis in melanoma and other cancer cells. This apoptosis happens before and in the absence of the downregulation of… (More)
CTX-M-3 is the most common extended-spectrum beta-lactamase produced by Enterobacteriaceae in Taiwan. The present study was conducted to characterise the genetic environment surrounding bla(CTX-M-3).… (More)
The development of antisense technology has focused on improving methods for oligonucleotide delivery into cells. In the present work, we describe a novel strategy for oligonucleotide delivery based… (More)
Phyllodes tumours of the breast are uncommon fibroepithelial neoplasms which pose management challenges due to difficulties in accurate prediction of clinical behaviour, as histological assessment… (More)
The binding of fluorescein-labeled polyamidoamine dendritic polymers (dendrimers) to the surface of individual fibroblast cells has been quantitatively measured using confocal fluorescence… (More)
