A novel therapeutic vaccine strategy

2. AIDS

3. Cancer




Pathogenic entities (microbes, virus-infected or cancer cells, environmental biologic products such as mites or pollen) often induce microenvironmental local immune/vascular disorders by releasing adverse stromal factors, such as extracellular viral regulatory factors acting as viral toxins and undesirable overproduced cytokines which contribute to pathogenesis and spreading of disease. Such disorders may explain why conventional vaccines targeting exclusively the pathogen, though safe, are not, up to now, efficacious.
