Bermuda ... thought for you
Moditope and MRna ...
If lindy felt that an Mrna vaccine was the more efficient route to market they would have deployed immunobody to deliver the moditope peptides as Immunobody and MRNA have very similar outcomes ...
the adjuvant from ISA Pharma thou really fine tunes the differentiation of the CD4 killer cell making it highly inflammatory ...
on Immunobody the adjuvant is the actual electric shock which creates cytokines around the injection site ...
but MRNA and immunobody are very similar approaches
Cancer immunotherapy has been proposed as a powerful treatment modality. Active immunotherapy aspires to stimulate the patient's immune system, particularly T cells. These cells can recognize and kill cancer cells and can form an immunological memory. Dendritic cells (DCs) are the professional antigen-presenting cells of our immune system. They take up and process antigens to present them to T cells. Consequently, DCs have been investigated as a means to stimulate cancer-specific T-cell responses. An efficient strategy to program DCs is the use of mRNA, a well-defined and safe molecule that can be easily generated at high purity. Importantly, vaccines consisting of mRNA-modified DCs showed promising results in clinical trials. Therefore, we will introduce cancer immunotherapy and DCs and give a detailed overview on the application of mRNA to generate cancer-fighting DC vaccines.

i dont think MRNA can deliver a better response over immunobody .. but maybe the cost of delivery is cheaper ..
but the only way to compare is a like for like trial .. ie same core antigens loaded
