Vaccine Boosters Reduce Recurrence of Breast Cancer

Im not sure if Im doing this correctly. I searched for a way to start a thread. Got a bit lost.

I was asked about AVX901 and knew nothing about it so I did a bit of research. I cant say I understand it well but I think I have the basic concept.

What is used is Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus. It must contain 7 genes. Three of the viral genes are removed and HER2Neu genes are put in the place of these genes. The patient is then infected with this modified virus. The encephalitis disease doesn't occur or is extremely mild. What does occur is a strong host immune reaction against the Her2 gene products producing a T cell attack against the Her2 Neu protein in the cancer cells. It sounds promising butmy knowledge of it is very superficial right now. When I read more Ill understand it better.
