High Efficacy of a Listeria-Based Vaccine against Metastatic Breast Cancer Reveals a Dual Mode of Action

SH Kim, F Castro, Y Paterson, C Gravekamp - Cancer research, 2009 - AACR
Most cancer vaccines induce CTL responses to tumor-associated antigens (TAA). Killing of
tumor cells occurs through TAA-specific CTL-mediated cytolysis. Here, we show that one …
