NCIt definition : A cell-based vaccine targets tumors expressing the HER2/neu marker. HER-2/neu is a
growth factor receptor, and its overexpression has been associated with a number of
cancers including breast, ovarian, colon and lung cancers. APC8024 comprise of autologous
antigen-presenting peripheral blood mononuclear cells (APCs) that have been exposed
to HER2/neu protein and can be administered to the patient. These cells may stimulate
an antitumor T-cell response to cancer cells expressing HER2/neu. (NCI04);
