Research Abstract

Malignant tumors arise even in an immunocompetent host by outmaneuvering immune recognition. Accumulating evidence has suggested that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a key role in tumor growth. In the previous study, we revealed that TAMs were infiltrated to tumors in response to tumor cell death. To block the protumor function of TAMs, we established anti-S100A9 monoclonal antibody and revealed that tumor growth was suppressed by administrating anti-S100A9 monoclonal antibody
