immunogenic

Specifically, it can to induce so-called immunogenic cell death in tumour cells.

While this study and others have demonstrated ZIF-8's immunogenic ability, more work needs to be done to evaluate the particles' safety and potential to be scaled up for large-scale manufacturing.

These generally have had undesirable surface properties -- such as being highly immunogenic, highly hydrophobic or charged.

"Pancreatic tumors are already immunogenic. We have a challenge in allowing the immune response to attack the cancer."

The team subcutaneously transplanted weakly immunogenic and strongly immunogenic tumor cells into B4GALT3 knockout and wild-type mice, to examine for tumor cell growth.
