As an excellent supplier in vaccine field, Creative Biolabs provides cancer vaccine related services and products according to customer's detailed requirements.
Vaccines were originally developed as a prophylactic agent, administered to healthy individuals to induce long-term immunity against a pathogen and to prevent the outbreak of viral diseases. Therapeutic vaccines aim at inducing strong antigen-specific T cell responses. In contrast to prophylactic vaccines, they are used in patients who already have a growing, established tumor. In the field of cancer immunotherapy, prophylactic vaccination only applies to the few virally induced malignancies, such as the vaccine against hepatitis B virus that can cause liver cancer, or the nowadays widespread human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination of teenagers, which aims to prevent genital cancers induced by high-risk HPV strains. Unfortunately, however, most cancers are of nonvital origin, instead resulting from a succession of inherited and somatic DNA mutations leading to malignant cell transformation. Most of the time when the cancer is diagnosed, it is already well established and has largely evaded the control of the immune system. In this context, therapeutic cancer vaccines have been developed to stimulate or boost the immune system of the patient against established tumors.
