| The steps required to produce a therapeutic vaccine using our technology |
 |
Step 1: Profile the tumor to identify antigens that are over-expressed or unique to the tumor cells. These are represented by the smaller stars on the cell surface. |
|
Step 2: Isolate one or more antigens unique to the tumor which will be used to produce the vaccine. |
|
|
Step 3: Obtain dendritic cells from the patient using leukapheresis and expose these cells to the unique antigen from step 2. Culture the newly exposed cells to produce a immuno-stimulatory product based on the patient's own cells. |
|
 
|
Step 4. Inject the vaccine back into the patient, thus stimulating the patient's immune system to respond to the tumor and destroy it. |
