Chicken cancer vaccine hints at human leukemia breakthrough
Dr. B R Burmester reported at the University of Texas symposium that a vaccine protects chickens against lymphomatosis, a cancer caused by a virus. It boosts resistance about 5000 times and may model a human cancer vaccine, though not yet practical. Researchers aim for a milder prep for newly hatched birds. Human risk from contact is minimal, but the work suggests a path to prevention if a human leukemia virus is found.
