Hypoxia promotes apoptosis of human neuroblastoma cell lines with enhanced N-myc expression.

abstract：:Previously, we showed that several minor macromolecular glycolipids accounting for less than 5% of the lipoteichoic acid (LTA) fraction from Enterococcus hirae ATCC 9790 possess cytokine-inducing activity, whereas the purified LTA does not. In other words, the immunobiological activity of the LTA fraction reported in ...
