Abstract excerpt
The hypothesis that tumor growth is angiogenesis dependent has been documented by a considerable body of direct and indirect experimental data. A prerequisite for the development of novel anti-angiogenic agents is the design of drugs that would be active only on those endothelial cells with an angiogenic phenotype. We took advantage of the anti-idiotypic strategy to obtain circulating agonists specific for the...
