Lopes A, Feola S, Ligot S, Fusciello M, Vandermeulen G, Preat V, et al.
J Immunother Cancer . 2019 Jul; 7(1):174. PMID: 31291991
Background: DNA vaccines against cancer held great promises due to the generation of a specific and long-lasting immune response. However, when used as a single therapy, they are not able...
