Abstract excerpt
Functional studies using freshly isolated tumor-infiltrating B lymphocytes(TIB) are difficult to perform and interpret. Here we document a novel function of TIB using fresh human lung cancer tissues engrafted in SCID mice; they are at activated state and produce tumor-specific antibodies in tumor microenvironment: (a) TIB engrafted in SCID mice produced human IgG; (b) IgG derived from TIB highly bound...
