The Novel Fusion Protein Melittin‐MIL‐2 Exhibits Strong Antitumor Immune Effect in Lung Adenocarcinoma Cell A549

open access: yesThe Clinical Respiratory Journal
In previous studies, we developed a novel fusion protein named “melittin‐MIL‐2” which exhibited more anti‐tumor activity. However, it remains unclear whether melittin‐MIL‐2 possesses antitumor immune effect on lung adenocarcinoma.
