Vaccines against cytokines and growth factors derived from malignant tumours

摘要

The invention concerns vaccines comprising as active principle an immunogen which is a cytokinetic factor or a cell regulating factor particularly transcriptional or another type of factor with immunosuppressive/apoptotic/angiogenic properties abnormally released in the extracellular (stromal) environment by cancer or stromal cells of malignant tumours, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for inducing a systemic or mucosal immune response with secretory formation of class IgC or IgA neutralising antibodies directed against the native factor, or which is derived from such a factor and the use of said immunogen to obtain a medicine for use as anticancer drug.
