Abstract

Aberrant expression of transmem-brane mucins promotes tumor progression and interferes with im-munological and medicinal elimina-tion of cancer cells. In a recent article, Pedram et al. directed an at-tenuated bacterial mucin-specific protease to HER2-positive tumor cells and observed decreased tumor growth rates and extended survival of mice bearing HER2-positive tumors.
