Immunologists are investigating ways to destroy lymphocytes (white blood cells of the immune system) that have become cancerous (lymphomas). A current drug Rituximab contains antibodies that bind to the surfaces of these lymphocytes setting them up for destruction by the cancer patient's own immune system. They are currently seeking ways to modify the antibody's structure so that it will attract the cancer patient's "natural killer" (NK) cells to the lymphocytes. Success of this project will bring a multi-faceted immune response against lymphomas and hasten destruction.
Would this be a reduction of cancer risk, correction of cancer gene or destruction of cancerous tissue? Understand that more than one could apply am seeking the most significant response. I think destruction of cancerous tissue makes more sense but am not sure.
