Melanoma Vaccine
Gene expression in melanoma metastases and daughter cell lines investigated
Published in Vaccine Weekly, April 6th, 2005
According to a study from Germany, "Vaccination protocols based on autologous tumor material often require in vitro culturing of tumor cells to obtain enough cellular material for the production of the vaccine. Cancer cells and particularly melanoma cells are known for their genomic instability. Therefore, it can be assumed that melanoma cells acquire genomic changes and thereby changes in the transcriptome during in vitro culturing. This may lead to a shift of epitopes expressed on the tumor cells."
