Jeden z duńskich szpitali testował go z dobrymi rezultatami, ale to wciąż ''tylko'' badania kliniczne. Będzie nowy lek?
Dla nieznających języka angielskiego w wielkim skrócie: komórki pobrane od chorego na raka hoduje się i aktywuje poza jego organizmem i ponownie wstrzykuje umożliwiając układowi odpornościowemu pacjenta walkę z rakiem.
''The ALECSAT products
From a patient blood sample certain cells from the immune system are isolated - and outside the body these cells are given optimal growth conditions. The cells are stimulated so that they become able to find, attack and destroy cancer cells. Using the ALECSAT* method billions of active cancer fighting cells are made that may be re-administered to the cancer patient. *(Autologous Lymphoid Effector Cells Specific Against Tumor-cells)
CytoVac´s selective cell activation method produces cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells, these activated cells are then re injected into the patient where they attack cancer cells. These cells, which are made outside the body by this method, are identical to the cells the body would normally produce in response to e.g. infections or virus infected cells.
Cancer cells have an inhibitory effect on cells from the immune system that may stop the immune system from protecting us from cancer. The ALECSAT technology provides the potential cancer fighting cells with the opportunity to grow and become active - away from the tumor cell suppression.
CytoVac has demonstrated the efficiency and feasibility of the production method established.''
