NCIt definition : A peptide vaccine preparation, containing recombinant human epidermal growth factor
(rEGF) linked to the Neisseria meningitidis-derived recombinant immunogenic carrier
protein P64k (rP64k) and mixed with the immunoadjuvant Montanide ISA 51, with potential
active immunotherapy activity. Recombinant human EGF-rP64K/Montanide ISA 51 vaccine
may trigger a humoral immune response against vaccine rEGF and rP64K and, so, against
endogenous EGF. Antibody-mediated inhibition of endogenous EGF binding to its receptor,
epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR), may result in the inhibition of tumor cell
proliferation.;
