recombinant fowlpox-TRICOM vaccine
Pronunciation
Definition 1
A cancer vaccine made with a form of a chicken virus that does not cause disease in humans. It is being studied in the treatment of some types of cancer. The virus is changed in the laboratory to make human proteins that may help immune cells in the body kill tumor cells. Also called rF-TRICOM. (NCI Dictionary)
Definition 2
A vaccine comprised of a recombinant fowlpox virus vector encoding a TRIad of COstimulatory Molecules (B7-1, ICAM-1 and LFA-3) (TRICOM), which may enhance antigen presentation and activate cytotoxic T-cells. Fowlpox virus is an attractive vector because its genome is easy to manipulate and it is replication incompetent in mammalian cells. (NCI Thesaurus)
