15472138 Zhong H, Belardinelli L, Maa T, Zeng D: Synergy between A2B adenosine receptors and hypoxia in activating human lung fibroblasts. Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol. 2005 Jan;32(1):2-8. Epub 2004 Oct 7.


Under the normoxic condition, adenosine and its stable analog, 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamido)-adenosine, via activation of A2B adenosine receptors, increased the release of interleukin (IL)-6 by 14-fold and induced the differentiation of human lung fibroblasts to myofibroblasts.

J Immunother Emphasis Tumor Immunol. 1993 Nov;14(4):298-304.


Cellular antimelanoma immune responses developed during the coincubation of spleen cells from naive C57BL/6 mice (H-2b) with LM mouse fibroblasts (H-2k) genetically modified to express melanoma-associated antigens (MAA) and to secrete interleukin (IL)-2 (RLBA-IL-2 cells).

15648952 Galmarini CM: Histamine dihydrochloride (subcutaneous) Maxim. Curr Opin Investig Drugs. 2004 Dec;5(12):1298-310.

Maxim is developing a subcutaneous formulation of histamine dihydrochloride (Ceplene, formerly known as Maxamine) for use as an adjuvant with interleukin (IL)-2 therapy for the potential treatment of metastatic melanoma, hepatitis C virus infection, acute myelogenous leukemia and renal cell carcinoma.
In November 2003, Maxim submitted an MAA to the EMEA for malignant melanoma in combination with IL-2.
