abstract：:Given that metastasized melanoma is a fatal disease in most cases, it is tempting to develop strategies to a priori prevent metastasis. We have stimulated the pulmonary innate immune system by macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2 (MALP-2), a specific agonist at Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2/6, and investigated its impact ...
