Oncolytic viruses: how "lytic" must they be for therapeutic efficacy?

abstract：:Estrogen receptors have recently been demonstrated at the cell surface. Unlike nuclear receptors, they are able to trigger rapid responses inside the cells. In this study, we evaluated the presence and the possible role of autoantibodies specific to estrogen receptor (anti-ER Abs) in the peripheral blood of breast can...
