Tumor immunogenicity is determined by the mechanism of cell death via induction of heat shock protein expression
In situ killing of tumor cells using suicide gene transfer to generate death by a non-apoptotic pathway was associated with high immunogenicity and induction of heat shock protein (hsp) expression. In contrast, a...
