Research to Develop Anti-Cancer Vaccine is Promising. Argentinian scientists have succeeded in ridding mice of tumor cells by injecting them with immune cells from healthy mice who had previously been provoked into an immune response against specially-treated colon cancer cells. Interestingly, promoting the rejection of the tumors in the recipient, ill mice worked regardless of what type of tumor they had.

“For the moment, this is just an experiment on animals which has
provided biological proof of a very important concept — that one
could imagine a single type of vaccine against cancer, against
different sorts of tumors,” Osvaldo Podhajcer, who led the team of
eight Argentine researchers and one British scientist, said on
Thursday.

Human trials could start soon.
