Are there any HLA neg. folks in vaccine trials out there?
Well, I learned today that I do not qualify for the Mayo vaccine trial. You have to be positive to the HLA-A2 factor. I was very disappointed when they called. For some reason, I am having a hard time locating trials. If you know of any, please let me know. I have a short window to get into one. Thank you so much for your interest and caring attitudes.
