Advance in immune cell screening uncovers receptors that target prostate cancer
This study validated the ability for nanovials to find T cells, and their receptors, that react to viruses.A second experiment with a different patient applied the technology to a much more challenging problem: rare prostate cancer targets the scientists had identified in previous studies. Importantly, those molecular targets acted to both capture the T cells and cause them to secrete certain molecules that kill target cells. In other experiments, the nanovials also had molecules allowing each to capture more than one type of immune-activating secretion.CNSI at UCLAA closer look at UCLA-developed nanovials, which are hydro...
