CD55 may be a new target for colorectal cancer treatment [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn the early stage, our research group injected lentivirus carrying blood type A antigen into tumors as a drug, and the tumor volume of mice was significantly reduced. We speculate that the complement system plays an important role in anti-tumor therapy,
