RNAi has great potential in future therapeutics as it has the ability to regulating many disease-related genes. However, many barriers prevent practical applications. To overcome the barriers, the specific targeting, efficient delivery system, the validated gene and the potent siRNA sequence are all vital important. The studies throughout this thesis have been focued on examining the validation of three RNAi therapies for two different disease models: allergic contact dermatitis and melanoma. For allergic contact dermatitis, I developed and tested a novel topical delivery system for siRNAs targeting TNFα (siTNFα) and MyD88 siRNA (siMyD88). While siRNAs applied without the transdermal enhancer ...

Pre-clinical and clinical data strongly support the use of immunotherapies for cancer treatment. Cancer vaccines offer a promising approach, however, the outcomes of clinical vaccine trials have been largely disappointing, prompting a need for further investigation. Using the B16F10 murine melanoma, we have investigated the local events within growing tumors following recombinant adenovirus immunization. In chapter 2, we investigated the ability of a pre-clinical vaccine to elicit only transient tumor growth suppression. We observed that tumors were initially infiltrated by a small number of highly functional tumor-specific CD8+ T cells following vaccination that instigated a rapid adaptive response in the ...

A Case Of A Male With Fever And Fatigue, Steve Ting
The Medicine Forum
This is a case of a 78 year old Caucasian gentleman who presented to the hospital in the early summer with complaints of high fevers and progressive fatigue. The patient lives near Philadelphia and enjoys doing yard work. He reported finding a tick attached to the skin near his groin approximately 3 weeks prior to admission. The tick was removed; however the patient was unsure of the duration of the tick attachment. He also denied developing any significant rash in that area. He had no recent sick contacts and no recent history of travel. He began developing fever spikes up ...
