Ask a Scientist

Immunotherapy
I read an article regarding immunotherapy where T-cells are removed from a person and then genetically altered to fight certain diseases then returned to the body. 
My question is that since there are some health conditions that cause the T-cells to clone themselves, could we collect these extra t-cells and create a vaccine?
As of this time, I have not yet received a response from Askthescientist.org.
