"The results of this preclinical work with ADXS-HOT represent an exciting opportunity that may allow us to develop disease-specific immunotherapies that have the potential to be effective against multiple targets, capable of generating high-avidity T cells against shared of public mutations, as well as multiple proprietary highly immunogenic cancer-testes and oncofetal antigens for multiple tumor types," said Robert G.
