How Advexin works
Advexin® is a vaccine that contains very high concentrations of the p53 protein. Advexin® is administered into or near the site of cancer and has demonstrated the ability to make cancer cells more sensitive to the killing effects of chemotherapy. The p53 gene makes protein that is responsible for stopping uncontrolled growth of a cell. One of its roles is to stop growth of a cell and initiate repair of any detected mutations or damage within the DNA of the cell. In addition, the p53 gene will direct the cell to destroy itself if a mutation or damage is detected that is beyond repair.
