Comment on One Drug to Shrink All Tumorsparent

Comments

Strong word of warning! These antibodies are not human, but most likely mouse. They will illicit a strong immune response, since they are foreign to the human immune system. Furthermore, antibodies can be directed against many different locations on their target molecule (epitopes), CD47 in this case, and therefore it is very unlikely that they will compete with the ligand they are trying to block.

In brief: you will hurt people doing this and achieve nothing.

Thank you.
