Abstract excerpt
Recent studies in HER-2/neu-targeted immunotherapy demonstrated that polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) mediated Ab-dependent cellular cytotoxicity against HER-2/neu-positive breast cancer cell lines. However, the mechanism of cell death remained unclear. We used several assays to analyze the induction of apoptosis in the breast cancer cell line SK-BR-3 via PMN-dependent Ab-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. In...
