Protection against mammary tumor growth by vaccination with full-length, modified humanErbB-2 DNA
31 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
ErbB-2 is overexpressed in several human cancers and conveys a transforming activity that is dependent on tyrosine kinase activity. Antibodies and T cells to ErbB-2 have been isolated from cancer patients, indicating ErbB-2 as a potential target of active vaccination. In this study, 3 mutant ErbB-2 DNA constructs encoding full-length, ErbB-2 proteins were tested as tumor vaccines. To eliminate tyrosine kinase...
