I quote this from the article:

“The vaccine targets a protein that exists in abundance in breast and ovarian cancer cells. They contain fragments of the folate receptor alpha protein, the vaccine teaches the body's immune system to detect and eliminate diseased cells. Because the protein is typical of nearly all breast and ovarian tumors, the vaccine is the first that may be applicable to the majority of patients, instead of populations with distinct types of cancer.  “
