  Advances in Designing Cancer Vaccines  
  January 04, 2002

Cancer Research

 
     
  The Knowledge Foundation, Inc., Boston, MA USA
5/9/02-5/10/02


detailed agenda available on website!

Identifying new target antigens remains as much of a challenge as improving tumor vaccines already in development. International experts will present the state of the art knowledge on the advantages and disadvantages of using various tools such as DNA Vaccines, Dendritic Cell Approaches, Peptides and Proteins for designing vaccines against tumors. In addition, new strategies to improve the vaccine potency and delivery will be discussed.

Discuss with speakers from industry and academia topics such as:

¥ Epitope Identification
¥ Proteomics Based Target Discovery
¥ Developing Viable Tumor Antigens
¥ SAGE as a tool for Cancer Antigen Discovery
¥ Peptide Based Vaccination Strategies
¥ Viral Proteins for Treatment of Cancer
¥ Multivalent Recombinant Vaccines
¥ Heat Shock Protein Vaccines
¥ Nucleic Acid Vaccines
¥ Gene Delivery Systems
¥ Dendritic Cell Based Therapies
¥ Molecular Markers to Predict Vaccine Efficacy
