Immunoglobulin alpha heavy chain derived from human epithelial cancer cells promotes the access of S phase and growth of cancer cells
24 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
It is generally believed that under normal conditions only B lymphocytes express immunoglobulin. Interestingly, our previous work demonstrated that epithelial cancer tissues and cancer cell lines also express Ig alpha heavy chain. So we further analyzed the potential function of cancer-derived Ig alpha heavy chain. Here we show that blockade of cancer-derived Ig alpha suppressed the growth and viability of cancer...
