Lani,

and so you did, and I even read it, then forgot. Sorry chemo brain.

I'm not familiar with the other peptide vaccine. I see it is already being used for ovarian cancer:

Active immunization with VEGF peptides elicits antibodies that inhibit tumor growth by blocking VEGF-dependent angiogenesis.

Hmmm interesing.
