Abstract
A method of obtaining a population of cells enriched in human polymorphonuclear myeloid derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) comprises isolating from a cell suspension those cells which express LOX-1 to provide a population of cells enriched with PMN-MDSCs. A method of monitoring the population of LOX-1+ cells in a cell-containing biological sample is useful for determining the efficacy of treatment or the metastasis or increasing progression of cancer. Other cell isolation and diagnostic methods are also described.
