Cell death mechanisms triggered by monoclonal antibodies against CD99 in Ewing sarcoma: Cross-talk between MDM2, IGF-1R and Ras/MAPK

CD99 is a 32 kDa transmembrane protein whose high expression characterizes Ewing sarcoma (ES), a very aggressive pediatric bone tumor. In addition to its diagnostic value, CD99 has therapeutic potential since it leads to rapid and massive ES cell death when engaged with specific antibodies. Here a n...
