Abstract:
In the current review the latest literature data on design of cancer vaccines on the basis of xenogenic tumor-associated antigens and proteins that play an important role in tumor progression have been summarized. The main benefits and disadvantages of xenogenic cancer vaccines, the results of experimental studies and clinical trials, and perspectives of use are analyzed.
