T-cells can be Directed to Treat Ovarian Cancers
A new receptor protein has been discovered that is expressed on the surface of different types of
ovarian tumour cells. It includes clear cell and mucinous ovarian tumours also, two of the most
aggressive subtypes of the disease.
This Follicle Stimulating Hormone Receptor (FSHR) is expressed in gynecological malignancies of
different histological types, but not in non-ovarian healthy tissues. T-cells could be directed to treat
these tumours with almost no adverse effects.
