A mice experimental model showed that when anti-IL-17A antibodies were applied locally to the lungs of mice with adenocarcinoma, it induced a reduction in tumour growth, promoted antitumour immunity (increased levels of IFNγ, which has been linked to inhibition of proliferation and angiogenesis of tumours), and increased overall survival in the animals [134, 135]. The gene discussed is IL17A; the disease is neoplasm.
