Cancer is the growth of abnormal cells that invade and destroy other tissues and is classified according to the tissue and the cell type of origin.

Melanoma Cancer, or skin cancer, is characterized by a dark-pigmented, usually malignant tumor arising from a melanocyte, an epidermal cell capable of synthesizing melanin (pigment).

The Melanoma Cancer Animation aired on the Discover Health Channel and helped communicate the complexities of DNA treatment to millions of viewers.

This vaccine utilizes DNA technology in order to equip the body's own immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. This process is very complex and requires a great deal of time to communicate using conventional multimedia, such as regular PowerPoint^® slides narrated by a speaker.

We were able to animate the entire process in under two minutes. The animation includes the process of how killer T cells will fail to recognize a cancer cell without MHC class proteins expressed on the cell surface.

This treatment is designed to target tumor cells by the insertion of small, circular pieces of DNA, known as plasmids, that contain the genes for the MHC class proteins. Once injected, the tumor cells absorb the DNA and begin to make the MHC class proteins. These proteins are then displayed on the surface of the tumor cell which then alert killer T cells. The T cells can then recognize the tumor cells as foreign and destroy them.

Advanced melanoma cancer that turns metastatic can be deadly. DNA technology is able to target advanced melanoma cancer and is a much better alternative then chemotherapy which uses toxic chemicals that sometimes result in damage to other cells and organs.
