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。

The other observation is that when eristostatin is attached to a cell's surface it attracts the attention of T-lymphocytes.

另一项是蛇毒蛋白附于细胞表面时，可吸引T形淋巴细胞。

His idea requires eristostatin to be as attracted to cancer cells as it is to platelets.

他的理论需要蛇毒蛋白像抑制血小板那样吸引癌细胞。

Dr Hailey and his colleagues used a technique called atomic-force microscopy to study the interactions between melanoma cancer cells and eristostatin.

哈利和其同事用原子力显微镜技术研究黑素次瘤癌细胞与蛇毒蛋白的相互作用。

If eristostatin does prove an effective means to treat cancer, it will join a growing stable of medicines derived from reptile toxins.

假如蛇毒蛋白真能有效地治疗癌症，就会把它归到不断扩大的蛇毒提取药类里。

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。

In a paper published recently by Toxicon, they report how a protein called eristostatin, which can be extracted from the venom of the Asian sand viper, helps people's immune systems fight malignant melanoma.

最近，他们发表了一篇名为《毒素》的论文，介绍了从亚洲沙蝰的毒液中可以提取蛇毒蛋白质，这种蛋白质可激发人类免疫系统对抗恶性黑瘤。
