Vaccine Trial at Southampton

Not sure if you have seen this but I found it on a US CML site last night:

Southampton scientists begin patient trials of new leukemia cancer vaccine

A new cancer treatment which strengthens a patient's immune system and enables them to fight the disease more effectively is being trialled on patients for the first time in the UK.

The treatment will use a new DNA vaccine, developed by scientists from the University of Southampton, which will treat a selected group of volunteers who have either chronic or acute myeloid leukaemia - two forms of bone marrow and blood cancer.
