Complete Regression of Well-established Tumors Using a Novel Water-soluble Poly(l-Glutamic Acid)-Paclitaxel Conjugate
Chun Li,Dong Fang Yu,Robert A. Newman,Fernando Cabral,L. Clifton Stephens,Nancy Hunter,Luka Milas,Sidney Wallace +7 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that in addition to its role as a carrier for selective delivery of paclitaxel to the tumor, PG-TXL exerts distinct pharmacological actions of its own that may contribute to its remarkable antitumor efficacy.
