Abstract:

The aim of this thesis was to use antibody-directed liposomes to enhance the targeting of 1. fluorescent compounds for the detection of cell surface antigens and 2. cytotoxic compounds for delivery to specific cell populations. This involved the selection and production of a suitable species of liposome-protein conjugate from among those described in the literature. The choice was a small unilamellar liposome conjugated either to antibody or protein A via a covalent linkage mediated by the heterobifunctional reagent SPDP. Anti-immunoglobulin antibody was a more universal ligand than either spe

Abstract:

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is associated with an increased risk of developing Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). South Africa (SA) has the highest HIV prevalence rate in the world. There is currently no 5-year overall survival (OS) outcome based data for HIV-associated HL from SA. Methods: A bone marrow database was compiled of all bone marrow biopsies (BMB) reported at National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) between January 2005 and December 2012. Patients who had a BMB performed for staging of HL or where HL was diagnosed on the BMB were included for fu

Abstract:

Splenectomy has been practiced for the treatment of ITP for the past few decades. Currently it is utilised when a patient is either dependent or resistant to steroid treatment and the platelet count remains less than 30Ã—109/L. Recently new agents have been added to the armamentarium used to treat ITP, including immune-suppressants such as rituximab and the new thrombopoetin-receptor agonists. This has brought into question the role of surgery for the treatment of ITP, and the need to compare the response and complication rates of splenectomy to these newer agents.

Abstract:

Recovery following bone marrow transplantation is associated with the reduction in the clonogenic potential of stroma-adherent CD34⁺ progenitors. The bone marrow stroma is also affected, resulting in poor support for the growth of stroma-adherent multipotent progenitors that form blastic colonies (CFU-bl). To determine the possible mechanisms of marrow damage in patients treated with peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) and bone marrow transplantation (BMT), we studied the effects of bFGF, a cytokine known to stimulate the survival and proliferation of fibroblasts, on the propagation of clonoge

Abstract:

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive lymphoma subtype with heterogeneous clinical outcome and a significant number of patients still die of their disease. Characterising lymphoma patients’ autoantibody repertoires represent one approach to improve the understanding of their disease biology. Our hypothesis was that characterisation of antigens eliciting humoural immune responses in lymphoma patients may provide insights into mechanisms of lymphomagenesis and identify novel diagnostic/therapeutic targets. HIP1R was validated as a novel B-NHL autoantigen by immunoblotting with p

Abstract:

The alternative road map describes the separation of lympho-myeloid and myeloid-megakaryocyte-erythroid (myeloid-Mk-E) lineages as the earliest haematopoietic commitment event. However, a number of aspects of this lineage restriction process remain poorly understood. Herein this work identified a lympho-myeloid restricted progenitor in the embryo, which resembles the adult LMPP, and demonstrated that lymphoid lineage restriction is initiated prior to definitive haematopoiesis, much earlier than previously appreciated. In vivo fate mapping showed that lympho-myeloid progenitors significantly co
