Fully mobilizing host defense: building better vaccines
Article Abstract:
Researchers and oncologists have been seeking vaccines and immunotherapies that offer protection against tumors. Vaccines and immunotherapies could be more effective than conventional solutions and show less side-effects. There is an important need to seek protection against numerous pathogenic organisms which cannot be effectively treated by vaccines. The development of effective vaccines depends on the identification methods for cellular antigens that are mainly linked to tumor cells. With infectious diseases, it is important to identify antigens that are connected with the different aspects of infections.
