With all of the research going on on nano particles that can selectively target and deliver to things like cancer cells, could someone just package a plasmid or peice of dna into it of say the antigen for chicken pox, have the cancer cell display the chicken pox antigen all over its surface and have the immune system do the rest? Afterall, we are all pretty much immune to chicken pox, why not trick the immune system into destroying cancer cells for us by cloaking them in proteins our immune system already recognizes?
Maybe they can make the nano particles real useful and have them take the place of a Colonoscopy.
