2004 MAY 5 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Generex Biotechnology Corp. (GNBT) announced its recent report at the American Association for Cancer Research in Orlando, Florida, on a novel approach to cancer vaccination developed by scientists and collaborators at its Antigen Express subsidiary.
About 1500 cancer clinicians and researchers from around the world attended this conference.
Dr. Eric von Hofe, vice president, technology development at Antigen Express, who presented this report, said: "This technology is revolutionary in the sense that we bioengineer cancer cells to present their antigenic epitopes directly to T helper lymphocytes. That process improves the speed and power of antigenic stimulation of the T helper cells. In turn, there is a better cytotoxic T lymphocyte and antibody response to the tumor."
The Antigen Express technology induces special receptors for endogenous tumor antigenic peptides, the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II molecules, in the absence of the ...
