Experimental Vaccine Halts Prostate Cancer in Mice

[Guest guest]

Twenty mice, genetically bred to develop prostate cancer, were given the

vaccine in a two-step process, said Kast, a professor of molecular

microbiology and immunology at the University of Southern California,

Los Angeles.

When the mice were 8 weeks old, they got one injection consisting of a

fragment of DNA that coded for prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA), a

protein that is overproduced as prostate cancers grow. That injection

alerted the immune system, Kast said.
