William - If you get a chance, catch the article in this months Discover about Vaccines. You'll be pleased. In addition, and I am not trying to make you feel good, but , it really appears that VICAL's approach has far reaching consequences - if they work it out. One of the stocks I'm in is DEPO. In short, all they do is wrap their product around an existing chemo agent - I forget which one - and then place it in the body. This is for use in HEAD AND NECK cancer Get it? Obviously, this is NOT a cure, and on AVERAGE all their product does is keep people alive 90 days longer than if they had not taken Depo's product. Please understand, I am NOT deprecating this. But I am trying to contrast it with VICAL - whose methodology is REALLY GOING AFTER THE BAD GUY BY HAVING THE BODIES IMMUNE SYSTEM KILL THE CANCER. If Vical's approach wins, we all win. Regards, John McCarthy
