After a long series of experiments, Prof. Tun Ta-cheng of the department of biochemistry of the National Taiwan University has discovered that cancer cells, after being subjected to abrus agglutinin (AAG) may lead to the development of an antigen in the human body. This can be used as vaccine which has already produced strong immunity in animals.
最近，國內在抗癌研究工作上，有了重大的進展：國立台灣大學醫學院生化學研究所教授董大成，經多次實驗研究發現，經與雞母珠凝集素處理過的癌細胞，可以提高抗原性，若用來當作疫苗，注射到動物體內，會產生很高的免疫力，不但可抑制癌細胞生長，還可破壞消滅癌細胞。
