简要总结
Background:
- Monocytes are a type of white blood cell found in human blood. They help the immune system. Researchers have found that monocytes taken from the blood of healthy people can kill tumor cells. Now they want to know if monocytes taken from the blood of people with ovarian cancer can kill tumor cells.
- In addition, native host anti-tumor cell mediated immune mechanisms may play a role in clinical outcome of epithelial ovarian cancer; data indicate that the presence of intra-tumoral CD3+ T-cells was shown to prognosticate improved outcome in advanced ovarian cancer. Furthermore, non-cellular components in the blood, such as exosomes, may influence outcome.
Objective:
- To see if monocytes taken from the blood of people with ovarian cancer can kill tumor cells.
Eligibility:
- Women 18 years and older with ovarian cancer.
Design:
- Participants will be screened with:
- Medical history and physical exam.
- Blood tests.
- CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis and/or an MRI. For these scans, they will lie in a machine that takes pictures of their body.
- A small amount of blood (two tubes) will be collected by needle during one visit.
详细描述
Background:
Using both in vitro and in vivo assays we have shown that human monocytes primed with Interferons alpha and gamma are tumoricidal and are capable of killing a number of tumor cell lines and human tumors implanted into immunocompromised mice. We have shown that monocytes isolated through elutriation at the NIH blood bank and monocytes isolated from anticoagulated peripheral blood from healthy women from the NIH blood bank are equally capable of killing tumor cells. No data have been collected as to whether monocytes from patients with Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer have tumoricidal properties. In addition, native host anti-tumor cell mediated immune mechanisms may play a role in clinical outcome of epithelial ovarian cancer; data indicate that the presence of intra-tumoral CD3+ T-cells was shown to prognosticate improved outcome in advanced ovarian cancer. Furthermore, noncellular components in the blood, such as exosomes, may influence outcome.
Objectives:
To obtain blood samples from patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer.
