Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the ras genes occur in 20% of all human cancers. These genes, in turn, produce mutated proteins that are unique to cancer cells, rendering them distinguishable from normal cells by the immune system. Thus, mutated Ras proteins may form potential targets for immune therapy. We conducted a phase I/pilot clinical trial in patients with advanced cancers to test the toxicity and the ability to induce an...
