Tailored Polymers with Complement Activation Ability To Improve Antitumor Immunity.

abstract：:The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) is overexpressed in most melanoma metastases, making it a promising target for imaging of melanomas. In this study, the expression of MC1R in a large fraction of patients with melanoma was confirmed using mRNA and tissue microarray. Here, we have characterized the in vivo tumor and t...
