Antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity in monoclonal antibody-mediated tumor immunotherapy

Oncoimmunology. 2012 Jan 1;1(1):103-105. doi: 10.4161/onci.1.1.17963.

Abstract

Antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) is critical in monoclonal antibody (mAb)-mediated cancer therapy. We recently showed that a tumor-specific mAb in combination with cyclophosphamide inhibited tumor cell growth and induced ADCC-synapses between tumor and effector cells in vivo, opening perspectives to enhance anti-tumor responses by manipulating the immune system.
