What is "avicine"

AVICINE was developed by Sarepta Therapeutics. It is a cancer vaccine which was created to cause an immune reaction to the tumor associated antigen, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).

This vaccine will be designed to work by actively stimulating immunization amongst tumor cells, or tumor associated antigens. These can be the keys to unlocking the cancer cells, making way for the therapeutic values of AVICINE.
