I am not sure how well founded an assumption that "DCVAX" is always a reference to the NWBO treatment. On this board that is undoubtedly what is meant. But in the rest of the world, including the academic world, I am not sure that is always the case. I think that that word has been made generic to mean a vaccine (VAX) based on dendritic cells (DC) in a fairly generic way, whose process and MOA may be quite different (or not) than that of the NWBO vaccine. Now if the reference is to DCVAX-L or DCVAX-Direct that is of course another story.

Yes, that is one difference (adding the virus)… but the bigger thing that differentiates them is the lack of the patient’s own tumor in the vaccine.
