Al and Christine, I talked with one of the study doctors at my visit last week, and she confirmed what Al has deduced; there are multiple sites for the antibodies to bind to, and the vaccine is specific for several of those sites. The lab work is showing that the vaccine stimulates the immune system to develop additional antibodies, basically "educating" the immune system about HER2 immunity! Just what we want to hear!
