UMR RIGHT / UCPVax:
the therapeutic vaccine against cancer
What if it were possible, one day, to “vaccinate” against cancer? A team of researchers in Besançon is working to make this dream a reality. The UMR Right research unit, led by Professor Olivier Adotévi, has been developing a therapeutic vaccine called UCPVax for more than ten years.
Unlike traditional vaccines, which prevent infection, UCPVax is designed to stimulate the immune system of people who already have cancer. The idea is to teach T lymphocytes to recognize and attack cancer cells. To do this, the vaccine targets an enzyme found in almost all tumors: telomerase.
