The future: Increasing confidence in vaccines

A 'triplex' combined vaccine lias been tested in transgenic mice carrying an activated oncogene that makes them prone to mammary carcinoma.4 When administered to susceptible mice, 90-100% remained tumour-free at one year, while all the untreated mice died of carcinoma.5 The extension of th...

Description
Summary:A 'triplex' combined vaccine lias been tested in transgenic mice carrying an activated oncogene that makes them prone to mammary carcinoma.4 When administered to susceptible mice, 90-100% remained tumour-free at one year, while all the untreated mice died of carcinoma.5 The extension of this work is to identify other cancer targets involved in tumour growth and to develop the appropriate vaccines to access these targets. second would be to develop these vaccines not only for prevention but also for...
