Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Tumor antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAb) block oncogenic signaling and induce Fcγ receptor (FcγR)-mediated cytotoxicity. However, the role of CD8(+) CTL and FcγR in initiating innate and adaptive immune responses in mAb-treated human patients with cancer is still emerging. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: FcγRIIIa codon 158 polymorphism was correlated with survival in 107 cetuximab-treated patients with...
