Researchers have found a new way to kill cancer cells by destroying the "protective wall" around them, according to a study released by the University of Birmingham The research team led by the school's scholars obtained samples of myelogenous inhibitory cells (MDSCs) from 200 newly diagnosed cancer patients These cells can send a large number of chemical signals to shield tumor cells, resulting in the failure of the immune system and immunotherapy, and prevent the activation of T cells that can kill tumor cells The team found that in many types of cancer, a protein called CD33 exists on the surface of MDSCs, and an antibody drug (http://www.chemdrug.com/) that has been used to treat acute myeloid leukemia can play a role against CD33, eventually killing MDSCs and restoring the ability of T cells to attack tumor cells Dr Francis musey of the University of Birmingham, one of the authors of the report, said that existing immunotherapies often fail to effectively kill tumor cells because the immune system is often unable to reach them Research shows that this antibody drug combined with immunotherapy can bring better therapeutic effects to patients The next step for the research team is to verify the effectiveness and safety of this method through clinical trials (http://www.chemdrug.com/sell/24/).
