So, I have a medical immunology question.

I understand that antibodies can fight the virus in a sick patient.

My question is: Do the antibodies also stimulate the further production of antibodies in the recipient, or is it a one-time transient boost for therapy?

It’s a one time thing.

It takes time for a body to make anti-bodies, sometimes the virus is moving faster.

This sorta bides us time.

My son has terminal brain cancer. When he was told he no longer had a chance he said he was not willing to give up.

So they started an experiment drug. Thanks to Right To Try.

Some doctors from another hospital heard about his case and asked him to try an experimental treatment they are working on. Now he goes once a month to an out of state hospital for a t-cell infusion. They have a donor there.

A few weeks ago they said his brain tumor is slightly smaller and today his blood numbers looked real good.

There are some cyanide based medications that could cure TDS but the side effects are deemed too severe.
