Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The interaction between CD40 ligand (CD40L) and CD40 on antigen presenting cells is essential for the initiation of antigen-specific T-cell responses, whereas CD40L stimulation of CD40+ tumor cells can induce cellular apoptosis. We investigated the anti-tumor effects induced by CD40L gene transfer into the mouse prostate adenocarcinoma cell line TRAMP-C2, both in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: TRAMP-C2...
