Potential Tool To Capture Circulating Cancer Cells

A modified opsonin bound to antibody (FcMBL) could become a broad-spectrum potent tool in the treatment of several cancer types by binding to carbohydrate ligands on the surface of cancer cells, according to a recent study conducted at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University.

novel mechanism to capture circulating cancer cells
- Not many satisfactory options exist target circulating tumor cells that are metastasizing
- Novel opsonin molecule can capture circulating tumor cells and mark them for elimination

Modified Opsonins - A Potential Tool In The War Against Cancer

Genetically modified opsonins that bind circulating tumor cells could be a potential tool to identify and eliminate metastasizing cancer cells in the bloodstream. Read More
