RE: Could covidity be a lifeline for the severely immunosuppressed?9 Oct 2021 02:04
That's an interesting article. Thanks Johnny.
"Indeed, earlier findings published by me and my team in Blood, show T cells can be taken from the blood of recovered COVID-19 patients and multiplied in a lab, which could then be infused into bone marrow transplant patients whose immune systems can't fight the virus on their own. In effect, this creates an army of trained coronavirus fighters to potentially provide protective T-cell immunity long-term to these highly immunosuppressed patients."
This has similarities to Scancell's collaboration with Biontech. In this collaboration the aim is NOW to take specific T Cells from Moditope injected patients, clone them outside the body, and re-inject into another patient who perhaps does not produce the army of high avidity T Cells expected from a Moditope injection. I emphasise NOW since it was previously hoped that non-Moditope generated T Cells would have the desired effect but that turned out not to be the case.
The hope is that the Moditope produced T Cells will have the extra avidity and activation required to have a real effect on cancer patients, whether as a result of a Moditope injection OR T Cell cloning outside the body and injection into a non-responder.
So if Covidity has the desired effect of producing highly effective memory T Cells giving long lasting immunity, then Scancell also has a process that could convey the same level of immunity to the highly immunosuppressed.
