Abstract
Cell surface antigens of human breast cancer cells undergo a rapid redistribution when bound by antibodies from cancer patients. The subsequent shedding of these antigen-antibody complexes and free antigen may be instrumental in tumor survival.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
