MD Anderson researchers have developed a novel antibody toxin-conjugate that’s not designed to kill the cancer cells directly. Read how this new approach is designed to trigger the body's natural immune response instead: brnw.ch/21wQWWK #EndCancer

Congrats @BenjaminSchrank on this study showing proof of concept that an antibody-toxin conjugate can be used to facilitate immune recognition of tumors. Very promising approach for the development of new cancer therapies! #endcancer @MDAndersonNews nature.com/articles/s4301…
