Cancer Vaccines
Researchers' work from University Hospital focuses on cancer vaccines
April 16th, 2007
Data detailed in "Cancer/testis genes in multiple myeloma: expression patterns and prognosis value determined by microarray analysis" have been presented. According to recent research from Montpellier, France, "Cancer-testis (CT) Ags are expressed in testis and malignant tumors but rarely in nongametogenic tissues. Due to this pattern, they represent attractive targets for cancer vaccination approaches." "The aims of the present study are: 1) to assess the expression of CT genes on a pangenomic base in multiple myeloma (MM); 2) to assess the prognosis value of CT gene expression; and 3) to provide selection strategies for CT Ags in clinical vaccination trials. We report...
