Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for inducing apoptosis of a neoplastic cell expressing C3aR or C5aR includes administering at least one complement antagonist to the cell so that the at least one complement antagonist substantially reduces or inhibits the activity of protein kinase B in the neoplastic cell.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

Having described the invention, we claim: 1. A method of inducing apoptosis in a cancer cell expressing a C3a receptor (C3aR) and a C5a receptor (C5aR), the method comprising: administering amounts of a C3aR antagonist and a C5aR antagonist directly or locally to the cancer cell; wherein the amounts of the C3aR antagonist and the C5aR antagonist administered to the cancer cell are effective to substantially reduce or substantially inhibit the activity of protein kinase B (PKB) in t…
