Research Abstract

We found that BDNF is continuously secreted by leukemia cells. BDNF induced regulatory T cells, which function as a suppressor cells to immune systems. It might help for tumor progression. In addition, we observed that some serum from a patient of adult T cell leukemia contain high amount of BDNF than healthy donor. It is thought that BDNF is very interesting molecules for modulating an antitumor effect.
