Immune protection against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis: optimal conditions and analysis of mechanism.
TL;DR: Protected guinea pigs had intact cell-mediated immunity to BPM, as measured by inhibition of macrophage migration in vitro, and the mechanism of protection may involve the production, following injection of BPM in IFA, of a class of suppressor thymic lymphocytes capable of overriding otherwise encephalitogenic thymi lymphocytes.

Cellular-immune response to myelin protein: absence in multiple sclerosis and presence in cerebrovascular accidents.
TL;DR: Lymphocyte reactivity to BPM can be induced by brain damage associated with strokes, but could not be shown to be an immunological feature of multiple sclerosis.

Cyclophosphamide in pregnancy.
TL;DR: Cyclophosphamide was given to a young woman with nephrotic syndrome, and was inadvertently continued until the eighth week of her pregnancy, and the baby had only two minor malformations.

Growth of Human Melanoma in Nude Mice: Suppression by T-Lymphocytes From the Tumor Donor: Brief Communication
Alan Coates,Marjorie Crawford +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggested that, whereas murine lymphocytes reconstitute the ability of nude mice to react to xenogeneic antigens on the human tumor, human lymphocytes showed greater specificity to autologous human melanoma-associated antIGens.

Carcinoembryonic antigen in renal allograft recipients and immunosuppressed renal patients.
TL;DR: Raised CEA levels occurring late after a renal allograft should prompt a careful search for visceral cancer, especially in non-smokers.
