Rare Cells, with Potential in Cancer Treatment,
Have Been Difficult to Study
SEATTLE, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- A new molecule discovered and cloned by Immunex Corporation (Nasdaq: IMNX) may provide the basis for a significant advance in immunology. The molecule, Flt3 ligand (Flt3-L), has been shown to promote the growth of dendritic cells, a formerly elusive type of cell which plays a key role in initiating immune responses to cancer, HIV and other infectious diseases. Until now, research into the utility of dendritic cells has been hampered because these cells occur so rarely in the body.
