The role of anti-CD47 NIR-PIT in human BC cell lines (UMUC-3; HT-1376; 639 V) were also reported by Kiss et al. (Kiss et al., 2019), where the authors further demonstrated NIR-PIT induced cell death in BC primary cell lines derived from fresh surgical samples from 5 patients undergoing bladder cancer surgery. The gene discussed is CD47; the disease is breast cancer.
