Nuclear EGFR-PKM2 axis induces cancer stem cell-like characteristics in irradiation-resistant cells.

abstract：:Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) facilitate the maturation and functioning of injected DC. We developed a method of in situ electroporation using IL-2 and GM-CSF genes (EGT/cytokines), followed by intra-tumoral (i.t.) immature DC to determine the immune response at the...
