A Better Immune Reaction to Erbb-2 Tumors Is Elicited in Mice by DNA Vaccines Encoding Rat/Human Chimeric Proteins
23 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
The Erbb-2 (neu in rat and Her-2 in humans) tyrosine kinase receptor is an oncoantigen (i.e., a tumor-associated molecule directly involved in cancer progression). Because oncoantigens are self-tolerated molecules, to trigger a response circumventing tolerance, we generated two plasmids (RHuT and HuRT) coding for chimeric neu-Her-2 extracellular and transmembrane proteins that are expressed on the cell membrane...
