Links Immunogenetics of Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) Infection in Cattle Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is an exogenous type C retrovirus that is associated with the development of malignant lymphoma in cattle. BLV infects lymphocytes and integrates randomly into host cell DNA. BLV has almost 50% nucleotide sequence similarity to HTLV (human T cell leukemia virus) types II and I. While these viruses have common regulatory mechanisms, they differ in host cell tropism, with B cells (CD5+, and CD5-) being the primary host of BLV infection (3). Following the establishment of BLV infection, the cattle mounts persistent antibody reponses to viral protiens, and virons can be isolated from cultured leukocytes of infected animals. However, the evolution of B and T cell responses during the natural history of BLV infection has not yet been clearly defined. Our long-term goal of BLV infection studies is to predict immune reponses (both qualitiatively and quantitatively) to pathogen-derived peptides based on host BoLA genotype, and to develop effective breeding strategies for resistance to infectious diseases of cattle. A deeper understanding of the immunogenetics of BLV infection (being an animal model for HTLV infection in humans) may shed light on human retroviral infections in general.

Time.com People Fortune EW Experimental drug fights rare leukemia (CNN) - An experimental cancer therapy is showing promise against a rare form of leukemia, researchers reported Wednesday. Scientists at the National Cancer Institute have been conducting early trials on a drug called BL22 for the treatment of hairy cell leukemia. Their work is published in Thursday's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Hairy cell leukemia causes the spleen to swell and prevents the bone marrow from producing enough infection-fighting white blood cells. About 1,000 new cases are reported each year in the United States. The standard treatment is chemotherapy, but not all patients respond. The NCI researchers administered the drug to 16 patients who had not been helped by chemotherapy. Eleven of them went into full remission doctors found no cancer cells or only very few cancer cells in their bodies. Two patients went into partial remission.

But as we just increased a little bit we found patients who were beginning to respond and eventually a large fraction of the patients we treated responded."

He was 67. He died at home, a family spokeswoman said. Born Lecil Martin in Sterrett, Texas, in 1931, BoxCar Willie was the son of a railroad man who used to play his fiddle on the porch while his son sat in on guitar. By his teens he had graduated to playing in jamborees all over the state, but he gave up show business to enlist in the Air Force. He spent 22 years there, logging some 10,000 hours as a flier. After retiring from the service he returned to performing, and by the 1970s he had developed the singing hobo persona, complete with overalls, a battered old hat, worn suit jacket and two days' growth of beard. Although he never had a hit single, his albums sold well over the years and he built a loyal following that would later make him one of the most popular performers in Branson, where he operated a motel and train museum as well as his theater.

Questions and answers are posted on CNN.com after the show. Q: How common is childhood leukemia? A: Approximately 3,250 children in the United States are diagnosed with leukemia each year, according to the National Cancer Institute. The most common type is acute lymphoblastic leukemia – also known as ALL. Fortunately, this is one of the most treatable forms of childhood cancer. The treatment may consist of chemotherapy, various drugs, and in some cases, radiation or bone marrow transplant. Acute myelogenous leukemia, or AML, is less common and less treatable. It occurs in both children and adults and progresses rapidly. It also is treated with chemo. Bone marrow transplantation is much more likely with this type of leukemia. There is also CML, chronic myelogenous leukemia, which accounts for less than 5 percent of all childhood leukemia.

Curing cancer one step at a time through charitable donations... I hope this introduction finds you well and happy. I've created this site, www.life-celebrations.org , to ask for your support in helping me meet an important personal challenge. This year, I turn 50 (yes, that's a REALLY BIG number) and wanted to do something memorable to mark the occasion. Some people get tattoos, some get motorcycles, some jump out of airplanes...I decided to do something a little more altruistic by making a commitment to walk a 26.2 mile marathon ! This marathon is just one of more than 35 marathons across the country that sanction organizations to participate. The group I'm training with is the Team in Training , and the organization we support is the . Team in Training (TNT) is the #1 training program in the country today. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has made significant progress in the treatment of leukemia and is committed to finding a cure in our lifetime. The Society has been rated by "Money Magazine" as one of the top ten charities for having the highest percentage of funds raised to directly benefit research and family services. My personal goal is to raise over $5000 through this marathon.

Unlike traditional, toxic chemotherapy remedies, which kill both cancerous and healthy cells, the drug STI-571 specifically targets an enzyme found only in leukemia cells, meaning patients suffer minimal side effects. Some experts think the new approach could work for other cancers as well. "This is a real home run," said principal researcher Dr. Charles Sawyers of the Jonsson Cancer Center at the University of California in Los Angeles. "Six or eight months ago, I would never have believed this."

Special Reports SERVICES Video E-Mail Services CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Study: No link to leukemia cluster in small Nevada town Federal officials found high amounts of tungsten and arsenic in most residents of Fallon, Nevada, but said the findings are still inconclusive. Story Tools FALLON, Nevada (AP) A federal study of a childhood leukemia cluster in this northern Nevada town found high levels of tungsten and arsenic in most residents but nothing to indicate that either caused any cancers. Based on the results, however, the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has asked the National Institutes of Health to research possible links between tungsten and cancer, scientists said Thursday. "We've learned a lot. But we haven't found the cause of this leukemia cluster," said Dr. Carol Rubin, head of the CDC's research team. Rubin released the study results Thursday at a community meeting attended by about 300 people. Preliminary results, which echoed those announced Thursday, had been released in August. Since 1997, the leukemia in Fallon a farming community of 8,300 and home of the "Top Gun" Navy fighter pilot training base has sickened 13 children and killed three others.
