If you have had or currently have breast cancer and want to know your HER - 2 / neu status, your physician can request the test to be performed on

Half of the patients that could be evaluated showed big increases in the numbers of T - cells specifically reactive to
tumor material, indicating a good response to vaccination.
When re-injected back into the patient, the CD40 - B cells are able to present
the tumor material to the body's immune system and stimulate an anti-tumor immune response.
