    Summary: "AFTER TILLER intimately explores the highly controversial subject of third-trimester abortions in the wake of the 2009 assassination of practitioner Dr. George Tiller. The procedure is now performed by only four doctors in the United States, all former colleagues of Dr. Tiller, who risk their lives every day in the name of their unwavering commitment toward their patients. Directors Martha Shane and Lana Wilson have created a moving and unique exploration of one of the most incendiary topics of our time, and they've done so in an informative, thought-provoking, and compassionate way." - from Oscilloscope Laboratories website.

    Antibodies to DNA in 14 month old male NZB/W F1 mice were markedly decreased after 4 weeks of cyclophosphamide therapy. A group of these mice and untreated controls subsequently received levamisole for 12 weeks. Antibodies to DNA returned to pretreatment levels within 8 weeks in animals receiving only cyclophosphamide, whereas levamisole treatment after cyclophosphamide delayed the reappearance of these antibodies. Glomerular immunoglobulin deposition and the degree of lymphocytic tissue infiltrate were decreased in animals receiving cyclophosphamide followed by levamisole as compared with non-treated control animals or those receiving cyclophosphamide or levamisole alone. In vitro T-cell mitogen reactivity was inversely correlated with the final DNA antibody titres of individual mice, suggesting a relationship between decreased autoantibody production and augmented cellular immunity. We discuss possible mechanisms by which levamisole may delay the reappearance of autoantibodies and decrease the histological evidence of lupus nephritis when given to New Zealand mice first treated with cyclophosphamide.
