Just talked to somebody yesterday who had one of these vaccines made for their dog. It actually seemed incredibly affordable compared to other treatments, something like 500-2000 for the formation of the vax.

Tumor vaccines are not at all equivalent to CAR-T. CAR-T involves genetically reprogramming T cells with information encoding a specific signal to find cancer, recognize it like a lock and key, and then destroy it.

CAR-T > tumor vaccines in humans for blood malignancies, and we envision the same for dogs.

I know there are groups seeing some successes in solid tumors with tumor vaccines, however.

HN has the most enlightening corrections, I appreciate you :)
