Abstract Drew Pardoll (Johns Hopkins Oncology Center) examines prospects for therapeutic
cancer vaccines. Considering how it is that the immune system fails to recognize and

exposing cancer antigens to the cellular arm of the immune system, and the first, promising
steps toward therapeutic cancer vaccines.
