Bystander Killing Effect Description Reference
yes
To evaluate the bystander effect of AZO-ADC-2, a HER2 + and HER2- cell (SKOV3 and MCF-7) co-culture model was conducted to examine the oxygen controllable bystander effect of AZO-ADC-2.Under hypoxia, AZO-ADC-2 maintained high activity inthe coculture model (EC50 = 0.053 nM).
