Tissue Study of Bv8/PK-2 Inhibition in Human Cancer

Study hypothesis is that inhibition of Bv8 production in bone marrow cells of a mice wil reduce the rate of growth of a primary human tumor implanted in the mice. we will take mice and transform their bone marrow cells into non-Bv8 producing cells. than we will implant primary human tumor tissue (taken from surgical specimens after informed consent)in those mice and follow-up on the mice.
