Scientists find treatment to kill every kind of cancer tumor
 The drug works by blocking a protein called CD47 that is essentially a "do not eat" signal to the body's immune system, according to Science MagazineWith this observation in mind, the researchers built an antibody that blocked cancer's CD47 so that the body's immune system attacked the dangerous cells. So far, researchers have used the antibody in mice with human breast, ovary, colon, bladder, brain, liver and prostate tumors transplanted into them. In each of the cases the antibody forced the mice's immune system to kill the cancer cells. Posted by: GolfBravoUSMC 2013-04-01 |
