View in English: APC8015
APC8015
Vacuna elaborada con las células del sistema inmunitario obtenidas de un paciente con cáncer de próstata. Las células se preparan en el laboratorio con un factor de crecimiento unido a una proteína de las células cancerosas de la próstata. Cuando se inyecta APC8015 en los pacientes, la vacuna puede estimular a los linfocitos T a que destruyan las células tumorales que expresan la proteína de la próstata. También se llama Provenge y Sipuleucel-T.
