Abstract excerpt
The cytokine LIGHT activates various anti-tumor functions through its two receptors, lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTbetaR) and herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM), and is expected to be a promising candidate for cancer therapy. However, LIGHT is also trapped by decoy receptor 3 (DcR3), which is high...
