Vaccinatie tegen Kanker : Immuno-Logisch
The immune system not only protects us from i nfections with pathogens, but it can also help us fight cancer. Throu gh vaccinations, the immune system can be trained to recognize and cl ear cancer cells. Although cancer vaccines are not yet used in the cl inic, several types of vaccines are currently in development. This sa ys Professor of Translational Immunology Joke de Haan in her inaugura l lecture.
We think we can make these vaccines more effective b y incorporating molecules that ensure that the vaccine is better abso rbed by the immune system. This could eventually improve the effectiv eness of patient-specific and off-the-shelf cancer vaccines.
DESCRIPTION: The immune system not only protects us from infections wi th pathogens, but it can also help us fight cancer. Through vaccinati ons, the immune system can be trained to recognize and clear cancer c ells.

This says Professor of Translational Immunology Joke de Haan in her inaugural lecture. W e think we can make these vaccines more effective by incorporating mo lecules that ensure that the vaccine is better absorbed by the immune system. This could eventually improve the effectiveness of patient-s pecific and off-the-shelf cancer vaccines. Vaccinatie tegen Kanker: I mmuno-Logisch END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
