Methods are provided to manipulate phagocytosis of cancer cells, including e.g. leukemias, solid tumors including carcinomas, etc.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating a human subject for melanoma, the method comprising: administering to a human subject in need thereof an antibody that disrupts the binding of CD47 with SIRPα, at a dose that achieves a depletion in melanoma cancer cells by increasing phagocytosis of cancer cells. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody that disrupts the binding of CD47 with SIRPα specifically binds to CD47. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a humanized or chimeric monoclonal antibody.
