Thermal ablation enhances immunotherapeutic effect of IP-001 on orthotopic liver cancer in a rat model by Yan Li, Samuel S.K. Lam, Chun Fung Wong, Tomas Hode, David Anderson, Robert C.G. Martin

“…IP-001, a synthesized molecule, is created by attaching galactose molecules to the free amino groups of partially deacetylated glucosamine polymers. As a member of a new class of polycationic immunoadjuvants that activate multiple immune response pathways, IP-001 can both sequester ablation‐released tumor antigens in situ and independently recruit and stimulate antigen presenting cells (APCs) to induce a potent tumor-specific Th1 type T cell response.Methods An orthotopic HCC rat model is established by implantation of 5 × 106 N1-S1 cells into the left lobe of liver. …”
