Russian academics announced that they have been able to develop a vaccine against all types of cancer, according to what was reported by Russian media.
Russian academic Alexander Ginsburg said that the vaccine successfully passed tests conducted on laboratory mice.
Ginsburg added, in an interview on the sidelines of the Petersburg International Economic Forum, reported by the “Russia Today” website, that the vaccine is expected to be given to cancer patients by injection directly into the malignant tumor, or it will be injected intramuscularly according to the patient’s condition.
The academic explained that the vaccine was manufactured based on messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology.
He added, “The most important advantage of this technology is that it allows the creation of very large concentrations of the target antigen in cells, that is, the protein or peptides that the innovator encoded in the messenger RNA. This is necessary for the infected person’s immune system to be able to distinguish between a healthy and malignant cell.”
Ginsburg emphasized, “We have proven that it is necessary to either inject the vaccine into the tumor or into the muscle. Because if it is given in the form of drops through the mouth, it will reach the liver because it is covered by a fatty envelope. But if it is injected into the tumor or muscle, it will be distributed evenly throughout the body.” “.
The researcher points out that the vaccine was tested on mice with melanoma, and scientists noticed, 15 days after the rodents were vaccinated, that is, when the immune system begins to work, a significant difference in the size of the tumor between vaccinated and unvaccinated animals.
The result was that the unvaccinated mice died between days 19 and 22, while the vaccinated mice are still alive.
