Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides methods for reducing growth and/or metastasis of androgen-independent (castration resistant) prostate cancer in a tissue in an animal. In one embodiment the method comprises administering to the animal a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that reduces the number of B cells, and/or the function of B cells, in the tissue. In yet another embodiment, the invention provides methods for reducing androgen-induced growth of prostate epithelial cells in prostate tissue in an animal. In one embodiment, the method comprises administering to the animal a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that reduces the number of B cells, and/or the function of B cells, in the tissue.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for reducing one or more of (a) growth of castration resistant prostate cancer (CaP) cells in a tissue and (b) metastasis of castration resistant prostate cancer (CaP) cells in a tissue, in a mammalian subject in need thereof, comprising administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that reduces one or more of (i) the number of B cells in said tissue, and (ii) the function of B cells in said tissue, wherein said co…
