on the
cell surface — is expressed in the majority of
ovarian cancer cases.
Blocking a protein found
on the surface of
ovarian cancer cells could prevent or reduce the spread of the disease to other organs, according to new research at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Many of these genes are usually switched off in adults, but previous research has shown that in many
cancers — including prostate,
ovarian, and brain
cancer, melanoma, and leukemia — HOX genes are switched back
on, helping the
cancer cells to proliferate and survive.

The approach developed by the MGH team starts with the engineered protein, which in this case fuses an antibody fragment targeting a protein called mesothelin — expressed
on the surface of such tumors as mesothelioma,
ovarian cancer and pancreatic
cancer — to a protein from the tuberculosis bacteria that stimulates the activity of dendritic and other immune
cells.
In the experiments described in the paper, the MGH team confirmed that their mesothelin - targeting fusion protein binds to mesothelin
on either
ovarian cancer or mesothelioma
cells, activates dendritic
cells, and enhances the
cells» processing and presentation of several different tumor antigens, inducing a number of T -
cell - based immune responses.
