Antigen-presenting cell vaccine
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
An antigen-presenting cell vaccine, or an APC vaccine, is a vaccine made of antigens and antigen-presenting cells (APCs).
As of March 2019[update], the only APC vaccine approved by the American Food and Drug Administration is for prostatic acid phosphatase, a commonly over-expressed prostate cancer antigen.[1][2]
