Researchers develop immune cells that infiltrate tumors

Researchers from the Okayama University have developed a group of immune cells that can infiltrate tumors and deliver viral vectors, destroying them from the inside out. The team’s work was published in the journal Scientific Reports.

The team developed the tumor-targeting technique using a human T-cell line known as HOZOT, which naturally targets human cancer cells. HOZOT cell lines are established by co-cultivating human umbilical cord blood cells and mouse stromal cells, according to the researchers. The HOZOT cells are toxic to tumors, but do not target healthy tissue.
