BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 14 may mediate tumor progression through vascular and immune-modulatory effects. METHODS: Orthotopic murine breast tumors (4T1 and E0771 with high and low MMP14 expression, respectively; n = 5-10 per group) were treated with an anti-MMP14 inhibitory antibody (DX-2400), IgG control, fractionated radiation therapy, or their combination. We assessed primary tumor growth,...
