Cancer Vaccines

This volume provides readers with an overview on the latest advances in cancer vaccines, and the major issues that need to be addressed in their development. The chapters in this book cover recent progress in immunotherapy; methods for generating relevant mouse models and engineering viral-based vaccines; oncolytic virus; glycosylation-based vaccines; and clinical production of dendritic cell cancer vaccines. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Cutting-edge and thorough, Cancer Vaccines: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for expert and novice researchers and scientists who are looking to expand their knowledge or learn more about this important and developing field.
