A team of scientists are looking to turn cancer into its own worst enemy. Their experimental vaccine candidate uses tumor cells modified to deliver a toxic payload to the rest of the cancer, while also making it easier for the immune system to target and remember the cancer in the future. In new research, the vaccine delivered promising results against the most common form of brain cancerâat least in mice.
What does autologous mean in medical terms?
(aw-TAH-luh-gus) Taken from an individual\'s own tissues, cells, or DNA
What is allogeneic vs autologous?
Autologous: Auto means self. The stem cells in autologous transplants come from the same person who will get the transplant, so the patient is their own donor. Allogeneic: Allo means other. The stem cells in allogeneic transplants are from a person other than the patient, either a matched related or unrelated donor
