DNA ligase: a site for the immunological destruction of cancer cells.
An hypothesis is presented which could lead to cancer treatment by passive immunotherapy. It is based on the specificity of antigen-antibody reactions. Essential enzymes produced by cancer cells which are involved in the replication and invasiveness of cancer might be nullified by such treatment.
