Abstract
Historically blood transfusion and organ transplantation were the first personalized therapies as they were matched to the individuals. Some cell therapies that use the patient’s own cells are considered to be personalized medicines particularly vaccines prepared from the individual patient’s tumor cells. More recently recombinant human proteins have been used to provide individualization of therapy.
