8-4-13 Create a cancer vaccine that involves frameshifts of wild-type proteins even house-keeping wild-type proteins. Cancer cells may produce frameshifted proteins during translation as they try to produce proteins very rapidly and make mistakes. Some researchers have even claimed that the rate of aging can be related to the rate of protein synthesis in cells since faster rates may lead to more mistakes and protein misfolding. Perhaps some of these mistakes lead to frameshifts that can be used to target cancer cells and other cells that may start to synthesize proteins in a "sloppy" fashion. -brief search related to cancer vaccine topic 8-4-13 -- "F:\kurt\storage\CIM Research Folder\DR\2013\8-4-13\brief search related to cancer vaccine topic 8-4-13.txt"

12-14-12 Immunize with several irradiated cancer types. Researchers have already demonstrated that immunizing with irradiated cancer cells can prevent cancer against that same cancer cell line type, but this vaccine does not protect against other types. Why not just immunize with many different irradiated cancer types to avoid "overfitting" just as one must provides lots of different training data to a machine learning algorithm to avoid overfitting to one type of data.

2-7-12 Put the body in a situation in which it is of greater benefit for certain cells to cooperate with the rest of the cells rather than to serve themselves alone.

Note that the cancer vaccine strategy kind of trains a better police force. This is a good thing, and would be good in many situations. However, if you have a great police force, but the environment is terrible, the criminals will just keep arising.

I wonder what types of things could be done to put cells in a situation in which it is an advantage to cooperate. Perhaps slightly challenging the body in a way in which it can overcome the challenge if the cells cooperate is a good way to get cells to cooperate. Perhaps exercising or eating fibrous foods are examples of such slight challenges.

Perform a method like SEREX to find tumor sera reactive tumor proteins, but perform this method using sera from a patient that went into remission. In such a patient, the chances may be more likely that their immune system developed an antibody that was effective at fighting the tumor
