Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hello summitflyer2003, This was in the media last year at which time they were awaitng the summer to begin trials. Apparently there is a seasonal aspect to the activity of the immune cells. I think it is probably related to vitamin D status in the donor. (My opinion). The technology to seperate the granulocytes for use is well established, so no breakthroughs are needed. It takes about 20 donors to get enough of the granulocytes to treat one person. Some people were recently cured of cancers by having their own best white cells harvested, cloned and reintroduced. It worked, but they say the snag is the cloning step which would add tremendous expense. In this donor situation I suspect they will find that it works but that they will want to do it via cloning. Don't expect the treatment to be available any time soon because of this.
