Role of Prolactin Inducible Protein in Breast Cancer
Researchers describe the first evidence linking prolactin inducible protein (PIP) to the immune system’s ability to recognize and destroy foreign cells, such as tumor cells. New research in prolactin inducible protein deficient mice that demonstrates the role of prolactin inducible protein in cell-mediated immunity and suggests that this immune regulatory function may be protective against breast cancer…
