[Clarification, VICL comments] I got too involved rewriting a sentence, and lost my thought train. VICL's technology approach to preventative vaccines is "Nakid DNA". That is express enough of a pure DNA antigen to trigger an immune response, rather than the approach most of us have received, which is most often "live" vaccines. More chancy, and more risky than the antigen.
This hits closer to home than most of you could appreciate. My son had a serious response to an MMR (live vaccine) shot at age 1. This triggered a GI tract sub-accute infection, leading to intestional permiability (leaky gut), to gluten peptides escaping the GI tract, forming pseudo-opiates, crossing the blood-brain barrier, effecting brain development and screwing up brain development, while the intestional permiability resulted in changes that resulted in serious nutritional malabsorbtion. The result was autism, ADHD and a load of related neuro/developmental issues.
The VICL technology has a lot of promise in yielding safer and more effective vaccines. And vaccines for previously untreated indications. Such as Malaria. Think of the # of cases worldwide.
Great social benefit, great revenue stream. Classic win/win. Scott
