In fact, similar phenomenon is confirmed in the nude mice. Namely, pulmonary cryptococcosis in homozygous (nu/nu) nude mice could not induce macrophage response (Figure 4(a)), whereas that in heterozygous (nu/-) nude mice could induce macrophage response with MGC formation (Figure 4(b)).

Still, Reisfeld joins Karl Eric Hellstrom of Oncogen in Seattle in calling the work "exciting." Anti-APO-1 is one of only a few antibodies with direct antitumor effects, says Hellstrom, who describes the tumor reduction in nude mice as "quite remarkable." Hellstrom says he thinks "it would be worthwhile to try to follow up in some clinical model." But he emphasizes the necessity of looking first for toxic effects on normal tissue.
