Sharks help cancer research at Harbor General Hospital
Dr. Patricia Byfield at Harbor General Hospital and Yale’s Dr. Richard Gershon study shark lymphocytes to understand immune cells’ role in fighting cancer. Using Horn and Swell sharks, spleen cells are cultured to produce antibodies in chickens, then tested in mice to identify primitive versus sophisticated white blood cells with potential against malignancy. The work, funded by the National Cancer Institute, aims to guide future immunotherapy development.
