Anti-tumor antigens are like other normal body cells but they possess a different construction. They stop cancer cells from functioning normally. They prevent the cancer cells from making and repairing cancer DNA. The original indication for the use of fluorouracil was for use in the prevention of tooth decay. Because tooth decay is prevented, the drug is also used for cosmetic reasons. Fluorouracil(5FU) consists of two antigens, fluorouracil A and fluorouracil B. Fluorouracil A contains a synthetic form of vitamin D that mimics the activity of naturally occurring vitamin D in human beings. Fluorouracil B contains the same active ingredients as the prescription medicine lofexidene. In clinical trials with dogs, it was found that both antigens were able to produce a significant incre...

  Cytomegalovirus, also known as cycloviruses, is a genus of retroviruses in the genus Cytomegalovirus, in the genus Lipophilicoviridae, from the subfamily Allergicoviridae, of the family Cytokaryoviridae. Humans and several other species of monkey serve as natural reservoirs. Cycloviruses are viruses that are transmitted via contact with the bodily secretions of an infected person, or even through breathing air. The virus then enters the bloodstream through the lungs, where it attacks the liver and kidneys. After entering the liver, it causes the destruction of the organ. The body becomes prepared to respond by producing antibodies (this is to stop the further attack of the virus). As the disease progresses, the antibodies decrease the efficiency of the liver and kidney, causing liver failure and eventually death. In extremely acute circumstances (cases when a very high percentage of persons infected have died), there is even a situation where the disease kills the person whose ...
