(Uppsala University) It should be possible to use therapeutic vaccines to create both cheap and effective drugs for diseases like cancer and allergies.

One problem in developing such vaccines has previously been the lack of adjuvants, substances that make vaccines more effective.

However, there has now been a major breakthrough in this area. The study, led by scientists at Uppsala University, is published in the December issue of the journal Vaccine.
