Featured article: Fighting cancer with the immune system

Studies have shown the immune system has the potential to remove tumor cells in a patient’s body. This article describes a method for generating antitumor cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for the epitopes of the HER2/neu tumor-associated antigen. These CTLs are then shown to have a pronounced cytotoxic effect on tumor cells expressing the HER2/neu marker.
