Declarations
:
: Anonymized leukocyte cones were sourced from healthy adult donors attending blood donation clinics at the National Blood Service (Southampton, UK). The use of leukocyte cones for this work was approved by the University of Southampton Faculty of Medicine Ethics Committee and the East of Scotland Research Ethics Service, Tayside, UK, Research ethical committee (REC) reference number: 16/ES/0048. Clinical samples from 6 anonymized mesothelioma patients (REC reference number: 13/SW/0128) and Donor matched Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and non-cancerous healthy kidney tissue samples were obtained from resected kidneys from 5 RCC patients (REC reference number: 17/WA/0241). Lymphocele samples were sourced from 3 anonymized breast cancer patents (REC reference number: 10/H0504/73, for breast cancer patient samples). Peripheral blood samples were taken from Chronic Lymphoblastic Leukemia (CLL) patients and anonymized before experimental use (REC reference number: 10/H0504/187). These aforementioned clinical samples were released from the Human Tissue Authority Licensed University of Southampton, Cancer Sciences Tissue Bank, as approved by the Southampton and South West Hampshire Research Ethics Committee (REC reference: 280/99). All informed consent for the use of human material was provided in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.Mice were used in these studies as the least sentient species with an immune system comparable to humans. Following approval by local ethical committees, reporting to the Home Office Animal Welfare Ethical Review Board (AWERB) at the University of Southampton, in vivo experiments were conducted under UK Home Office Project licenses P81E129B7 and P4D9C89EA.
