Homogenous Vaccine Composition Comprising a Conjugate of EGF and P64K for the Treatment of Tumors

摘要

A vaccine composition for therapeutic use thereof on cancer patients includes a chemical conjugate of human recombining Epidermic Growth Factor (hrEGF) and a combining protein P64k for performing a conjugation reaction which produces said chemical conjugate in a controlled and reproducible manner. The preferred conjugate surprisingly increases the immunogenic activity causing significant increases in the anti-EGF antibody titers in humans, and provides a vaccine preparation with more than one type of effective dose presentation which enables the immunization dose per patient to be increased, but without involving an increase in immunization frequency and/or the number of immunization sites.
