Prostatic carcinoma is the most commonly diagnosed tumor among men over 40 which results in over 30,000 deaths each year in the United States. Previous studies indicated that tumor cell lines produce and release several growth regulatory factors into their condition media and so far a number of human tumor cell-derived suppressor factors have been isolated that affect normal immune functions. I...
