The use of Avidimab has a very clear and important purpose. Scinv_temp is talking nonsense.
This is what Avidimab is doing. The AvidiMab modification to the Fc region of the antibody produced by Scancell's iSCIB1+ vaccine strengthens the interaction with Fc receptors on dendritic cells and other antigen-presenting cells. This enhanced binding increases the avidity and efficiency of antigen uptake, processing, and presentation by dendritic cells, thereby amplifying the activation of T-cell-mediated immune responses against melanoma-specific antigens (such as TRP-2 and gp100).
As a result of using Avidimab the mAb has longer 'on-time' with the dendritic cells and primes them more effectively. When the dendritic cells reach the lymph nodes they then stimulate the T-Cell much more effectively creating much higher avidity T-Cells.
Hopefully the benefit of applying Avidimab will be very apparent when we see the cohort 3 results in a matter of weeks.
