Innovative Strategies for Breast Cancer Immunotherapy
Abstract
In our grant application, we detected HERV-K viral particles by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in sera from an invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) patient and in BC cell culture media. In fact, HERV-K viral like particles have been found in a variety of tumor cells, as reported by others. These viral particles would be expected to have RT activity. The RT activity of various breast cell culture media was compared, and we found that all cancer cells had higher RT, compared with MCF-10AT cells. In addition, two IBC cell lines (KPL-4 and SUM149) had increased RT activity.
