MYB

DNA

The vaccine contains a gene cassette of a hybrid with tetanus toxin gene sided an MYB gene which was inactivated.

Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre

Safe, MYB transcription factor is highly pressed in epithelial cancers cell

[124]

pcDNA-hNIS

DNA

IgG antibody titers were significantly increased

under investigation in clinical trials

displayed encouraging antitumor effects

[125]

pVAX1-HER2

DNA

in 11.4% of colorectal adenocarcinomas, HER2 protein expressed

under investigation in clinical trials

colorectal adenocarcinomas Patients found better condition

[126]

CpVR-MS and CpDV-IL2-MS

DNA

CCL-19 and GM-CSF upregulated.

- A CpG and interleukin-2 (IL-2) was used as adjuvants.

under investigation in clinical trials

In mice 69.1% of colorectal carcinoma-bearing was suppressed

[127]

pCEA/HBsAg

DNA

Promoting a promising immune system

under investigation in clinical trials

No detectable CEA- antibodies was seen in patients

[120]

CEA66 DNA

DNA

Stimulation of Cellular and humeral response against CEA

under investigation in clinical trials

75% of showed detectable CEA immune responses.
