Cancer immunotherapy has focused on inducing and expanding CTLs and improving the immune recognition of weak antigenic determinants expressed by tumors. However, few positive clinical outcomes have… (More)
Tumour-induced granulocytic hyperplasia is associated with tumour vasculogenesis and escape from immunity via T cell suppression. Initially, these myeloid cells were identified as granulocytes or… (More)
Tumor growth is associated with aberrant myelopoiesis, including the accumulation of CD11b(+)Gr-1(+) myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) that have the potential to promote tumor growth. However,… (More)
Metastasis resistant to therapy is the major cause of death from cancer. Despite almost 200 years of study, the process of tumor metastasis remains controversial. Stephen Paget initially identified… (More)
We describe a gene, NM23, that is associated with the tumor metastatic process. NM23 RNA levels were highest in cells and tumors of relatively low metastatic potential in two experimental systems:… (More)
NIH/3T3 cells transfected with DNA from malignant human tumors produced experimental and spontaneous metastases in nude mice. In contrast, parent or spontaneously transformed NIH/3T3 cells failed to… (More)
A cultured cell line of the K-1735 melanoma was x-irradiated to induce chromosome breakage and rearrangements and then was implanted into the footpads of syngenic C3H mice. Spontaneous lung… (More)
During the past decades, anticancer immunotherapy has evolved from a promising therapeutic option to a robust clinical reality. Many immunotherapeutic regimens are now approved by the US Food and… (More)
An experimental system for the study of metastasis has been developed using an epithelioid cell line of hepatic origin which had previously been chemically transformed in vitro. These metastatic… (More)
These studies demonstrated that cells populating spontaneous metastases are, in general, more metastatic than the cells populating the parent neoplasm, thereby providing direct evidence that the… (More)
