Such methods are useful, for example, for promoting tumor vaccine production, or for improving the efficacy of a tumor vaccine.

The inventive tumor vaccine based on surface tumor antigens comprises a mixture of surface tumor antigens.

The composition may be used for preparation of an anti-tumor vaccine for prophylactic or therapeutic use.

The method for carrying out antitumor immunotherapy consists in administrating the tumor vaccine in a patient body.

The method for producing a tumor vaccine consists in cultivating tumor cells and in separating surface tumor antigens.

The present invention further provides an antigen composition obtained through the preparation method and the application thereof in preparing a tumor vaccine.

Similar to a virus vaccine, after the tumour vaccine is injected, the immune system recognizes the antigen as a threat and produces antibodies against it.

The aim of the invention is to develop an antitumor vaccine the use of which is based on the vaccination of a human being with a live pathological material of an animal with similar disease.

Another strategy is to target precancer or cancer cells directly using a tumour vaccine.

A tumour vaccine made from autologous and/or allogenic tumour cells is modified with one or more antigens for which an immune response already exists in the patient's body.

Fortyna, a discoverer and propagator of so-called devitalization) also advised Ovosan and the RESAN antitumor vaccine in personal communication for cancer patients .
