Cancer Vaccine Under Test


Ames, February 14th, 2005 - Scientists at a small company in Ames are testing a vaccine that turns the body's immune system against cancer cells.

Researchers at Newlink Genetics hope the vaccine will help fight the nation's top killer of people under 85. The company is beginning clinical trials for its cancer vaccine at top name hospitals across the country.

Newlink will be looking at prostate, breast, lung and skin cancer in their tests.
