into a human virus, hepatitis delta virus HDV [99], which may have acquired genetic information for a protein from the host, because HDV antigens are related to a human protein [12,17,18,36]. HDV is the only virus known to be a catalytic ribozyme and pathogen in humans. Why is there...

T-VEC is currently being evaluated as a potential treatment in melanoma and other advanced cancers [19, 20]. In a pre-clinical study in breast cancer bearing mice, the combination of an anti-PD1 antibody and a multi-peptide vaccine prolonged the vaccine-induced progression-free survival (PFS)...
However, the reason, why so much attention has been paid to lung cancer, is not sufficient. Most clinical trials of IDO1 inhibitors have been carried out to test the anti-PD-1 antibody combination in a tumor type where anti-PD-1 antibody alone has activity. There are 17 new trials ...
All 3 vaccines are synthetically manufactured virus-like particles (VLPs) of the oncogenic protein subunit L1 of the various HPV types [95]. Although the exact mechanism of action is unknown, it is believed that the vaccine works by activating the humoral response system. HPV L1VLP vaccination ...
