DocLee, Thanks again for your insights into therapeutic vaccination (immunization) and on viral this time. Below is something iwasdiver had previously posted, that there should be a potential for DCVax in the antiviral space as well. To me that makes sense. At a high level the job of DCVax and dendritic cells is to maintain cellular health. Whether it is mutated cells (cancer) or DNA infected cells (virus), they are both the same to our immune system. Like cancer cells, viruses are also identified by their antigens. I wanted to know if you could share any thoughts on the future potential of DCVax's mechanism of action as an anti-viral as well.

The fact they found CMV and Epstein Barre viral proteins in the lysate of patients in the trial and who’ve been treated under compassionate care it raises the question of both a antiviral vaccine as prevention as well as a treatment after the fact to rid patients of chronic infections like herpes, CMV, Epstein Barre, and COVID to name a few. - iwasdiver, post 603964
