Can the medicine of the company Mederex cure cancer? Mederex makes antibodies to cure cancer. I heard that this medicine is very promising to cure cancer. Is that true?

I watched the News and I saw they reported the center who cloned the sheep are developing the medince to cure cancer or skin cancer. Are you referring to this?

I answered this question few days ago. here is the copy and paste of my answer:
Such drug is named as "Ipilimumab" known as "MDX-010" which is intended to activate the immune system.
It is said that such drug sustains an active immune response in its attack on cancer cells. So it indeed sounds to have a promising role in cancer. Whether it is effective or not for cancer is yet to be proven. For the meantime, there are two advanced clinical trials on that matter.Clinical trials are currently on going for its use as the treatment of melanoma.
So, hang on in there until we will hear the results of the trials.....
( PS. I haven't watched such news but if the drug is under the Mederex company, then I suppose that is the one. The drug is newly released so it is still a "hot" media topic.)

You know when you get a transplanted organ you have to take a certain medication so that your body won't reject it?
Well, I read a story that if you take a sample of the tumor or pus(sorry, sounds bad)and you mix it with some gamuglobulins careful of the temperature.Well anyway you then inject it into the shoulder of a rabbit, and when the rabbit developes a fever(because it is building up antibodies in rejection of the foreign substance you put into the rabbit) then you take the antibodies from the rabbit, and give it back to the person, and then they will have antibodies to fight that certain type of cancer. Don't know if that would work for all types of cancer though. But it basically would be a serum. It sounds as if that company is on the right track.
