Zusammenfassung
Introduction: Antibody-based cancer therapy (e.g Herceptin) represents a novel and promising therapeutic option for advanced oncologic disease. Nevertheless, due to lack of appropriate in-vivo models, the impact of the human immune system on antibody based cancer therapy still remains poorly understood. This constitutes a major issue in oncology that clearly requires further investigation. Methods: For the generation of humanized tumor mice, NOD/scid/IL-2 receptor-γ chain-KO mice were irradiated (1Gy) and intrahepatically co-transplanted with 3×106 Her2SK-BR-3 Her2+ human breast cancer cells and CD34+ stem cells…
