Re: share
I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. This vaccine, unfortunately, won't be available for testing on humans for at least another two years.

Finally something better than chemo, radiation...
This is great news even though we have to wait for 2 years for trail results. I wonder when it will eventually be readily available worldwide. I hope it will be able to address all sorts of cancer.

I am taking tumeric regularly but not sure of its efficacy but short of alternatives, I am going in the ayurvedic way.

2 year delay!
What is the reasons for a 2 year delay? What can stop this from being approved?

cancer vaccine
Since it sounds it work, why wait for two years, am willing to volunteer, because I have prostate cancer stage 4, have undergone radiation, chemo etc, although am not bed ridden now,and I go to work everyday, but still feel some side effect from my medications, from the Philippines.julianochua@yahoo.com

Anti-cancer vaccine
This approach is so far superior to the chemo/ radiation treatments that many people would be happy to take a risk on it rather than have to wait two years. Can anything be done to fast track its availability?

Is this only for cancerous cells?
I wonder if this would work on malignant tumors.

â??self-selectedâ?? the cancer antigens?
It's not clear how the mice immune system knew to "self-select" only the cancerous antigens to attack, especially after being injected with DNA from healthy human prostates.

The researchers started with DNA from *human* prostates, and injected them into mice with prostate tumors. Are these special mice that have DNA from humans already? Did their systems view the human DNA as invasive? Injecting human DNA into humans to provoke an immune response may not work as well as injecting human DNA into mice. It's just not clear to me how this works.

maybe a typo ?
so then humans just need animal DNA to replace in the same manner, but this might be a mistake in writing/typing.. It would make more sense to use mouse DNA on mice in the first go around.
