ABO blood group antigen therapy: a potential new strategy against solid tumors

Abstract The economic burden of tumors is increasing, so there is an urgent need to develop new therapies for their treatment. Killing tumors by activating complement is an effective strategy for the treatment. We used the ABO blood group system and the corresponding antibodies to activate the kille...
