Previous studies have shown that eristostatin stops melanoma cells colonising the liver and lungs in mice.

先前的研究发现蛇毒蛋白质能阻止黑色瘤细胞5在肝脏和肺的扩散。

Dr Hailey hopes to make use of this tendency to encourage the immune system to attack melanoma cells.

哈利希望利用这种性质趋向激发免疫系统对抗黑色瘤细胞。

If melanoma cells could, in this way, be made especially attractive to T-lymphocytes, that might clear away the tumour completely.

假如能让黑素瘤细胞像这样吸引T形淋巴细胞，那么就可能完全消除肿瘤。

On top of this, alkaloids from the vine have been shown to induce apoptosis in mice melanoma cells and certain liver cancer cells in humans.

除此之外，卡皮木藤条的生物碱已被证实能促进小鼠黑素瘤细胞和人类的某些肝癌细胞凋亡。

One is that eristostatin has a particular affinity for melanoma cells, which presumably have a protein on their surfaces that is similar to the one which attracts eristostatin to platelets.

一是蛇毒蛋白与黑素瘤细胞有一定的亲和性，黑素瘤细胞表面可能有一种蛋白质，类似于让蛇毒蛋白吸附血小板的蛋白。
