Scientists: Antibody Destroys Prostate Cancer

An antibody has been found to destroy prostate cancer cells in mice, according to researchers.

 WASHINGTON, D.C. — An antibody has been found to destroy prostate cancer cells in mice, according to researchers.

The F77 antibody’s features are detailed in a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS).

F77 connected to mice tissue infected by primarily prostate cancer in 97 percent of the cases, the study said.

Moverover, F77 “…effectively prevented tumor outgrowth,” it said.

At the same time, the antibody spared normal tissue and other tissues with tumor problems.

The study was conducted by scientists at the University of Pennsylvania.

Prostate cancer kills half a million men each year worldwide.
