Had a random thought last night that if and when Covidity proves an effective vaccine, could a variant be used as a flu vaccine ? As I understand it, the current vaccines are antibody-based and have to be redesigned each season based on a guess of what the upcoming flu characteristic will be - the same issue that antibody Coronavirus vaccines may have if it mutates. I'm guessing a T-Cell flu vaccine would not need to be redesigned each year and may be longer lasting ?

"The most established correlate of protection against influenza infection are antibodies targeting influenza virus envelope glycoprotein haemagglutinin (HA)1. However numerous clinical studies have demonstrated an important role for T-cells in driving protection."

We know that flu kills more people every year than Covid-19, so what would a more effective vaccine be worth ?

Any thoughts from the scientifically minded ?

Much thanks for the running commentaries Jaffaman and Goingundergroud - that was a heroic effor, almost like being there.
It appears to have been a very open and thorough session, warts and all.
Looking forward to the progress updates. I think reports of WRES's death have been greatly exaggerated.

Who’s the arbiter of what’s crap and what isn’t?"". Surely that judgment is up to each individual ?
Seems to me that Admin have the final say on removing posts, so if anyone has an issue with disappearing posts then they should raise it with them, not with the posters that they assume (guess) are reporting them.

AB124.
All you really need to remember is that it is very unlikely to have been your post which caused the thread to be removed, but one or more of the responses. I can't recall what they were now. Neither can I recall your question - but there is nothing to stop you reposting it if you are still looking for an answer.
Don't take anything personally, and above all try not to get dragged into the feuds which are long-standing and most often irrelevant to the big picture of what is happening at Scancell.
It works for me !

Is this your road ?

Just for balance, not so good in Spain.

Hopefully it's still ok in our more remote neck of the woods. But presumably MM is not able to travel there from Oz, so another reason having new management is a goodly thing.

Not really been following C-19 in Portugal closely, but I see that those entering the UK from there no longer need to quarantine.

I guess the situation there has improved which has got to be good news for Regua.

Free injection with every bat sold at a wet market could work, one way or another.

Hey Tungder, since you're using OldMotherReilly's thread, what do you think of his woes ?

If you are going to use the increased cash in hand to argue that there is no dilution then you have to accept that dilution is ongoing as and when that money is spent.

And if you are using perceived value of IP in the equation, then as that hopefully increases you would have to say we are being de-diluted ("concentrated") - but I have never heard that term being used.

Bottom line for me is, the possible ultimate sale £value of the whole company, or individual lines, has not increased, but I would get a smaller share of it now. That's dilution as far as I'm concerned. But I accept that the extra funds were needed to progress research and trials, so I'm even happier with my investment now than before.

Pecten, perhaps you shouldn't be riding racehorses any more.
Good luck with your dodgy eyes both of you.

Indeed, I suspect the disappointment of not getting all the excess shares hoped for will soon be replaced by the pleasure of a rising SP.

The Company is also pleased to announce that the Open Offer, which closed for receipt of applications at 11.00 a.m. on 10 August 2020 in accordance with its terms, was significantly oversubscribed. Qualifying Shareholders who have validly applied for Open Offer Shares will receive their full basic entitlements under the Open Offer. As applications under the Excess Application Facility cannot be satisfied in full, applications for Open Offer Shares under the Excess Application Facility will be scaled back in accordance with the terms set out in the Circular. Following the scale back, 36,498,499 Open Offer Shares in aggregate will be issued pursuant to basic and excess entitlements.



Accordingly, the Company has raised approximately £15.0 million in aggregate (before expenses) through the Capital Raise. This is comprised of £9.0 million in aggregate (before expenses) through the issue of 163,771,225 New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Placing, Subscription and Open Offer and gross proceeds from the subscription by the Redmile Funds and Vulpes for Convertible Loan Notes with an aggregate principal amount of £6.0 million. Issue of the New Ordinary Shares and Convertible Loan Notes remains conditional on Admission.

We used to call bugs "undocumented features"

Adding my congratulations to all the others C7. The way you have fought this horrible illness is inspirational.

Every chance now that you will be around to see your faith in Scancell (financally) rewarded. And see Frank Lampard win us Premier and Champions League trophies. Or perhaps one out of 3 would be a more realistic hope.

curbing, not curving.

MIB - it's a bit gruesome, but the weaker/older members of our society who would have been dying at this time of year probably succumbed to Covid-19 over the last 4 months. Also, social distancing and hygiene will be curving the spread of other contagious diseases.

That's a reasonable point, but not all that peeved TBH - this way the money goes to Scancell.

Got my instruction in, why wait ? A little over my entitlement.

I think you have until 11am on 10th August to apply for them. However, the circular recommends applying by 3pm on 5th August ...

"In particular, having regard to normal processing times in CREST and on the part of the Registrar, the recommended latest time for depositing an Application Form with the CREST Courier and Sorting Service, where the person entitled wishes to hold the entitlement under the Open Offer set out in such Application Form as Open Offer Entitlements in CREST, is 3.00 p.m. on 5 August 2020, and the recommended latest time for receipt by Euroclear of a dematerialised instruction requesting withdrawal of Open Offer Entitlements from CREST is 4.30 p.m. on 4 August 2020, in either case so as to enable the person acquiring or (as appropriate) holding the Open Offer Entitlements following the deposit or withdrawal (whether as shown in an Application Form or held in CREST) to take all necessary steps in connection with applying in respect of the Open Offer Entitlements prior to 10 August 2020.

Literally while I was typing "Nothing in HL yet" their email came through for me to check my messages and there it is ! They say "he deadline to give an instruction is noon on Thursday 6 August 2020".
