to boost immune responses. Favrille's unique and proprietary manufacturing process, which includes an insect cell (baculovirus) expression system, allows for the manufacture of Specifid for delivery to patients in as few as eight weeks. Data presented at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in December 2007 showed that Id-KLH produced via insect cells results in a more immunogenic response compared to Id-KLH produced in a traditional mammalian cell manufacturing process. Also, unlike other Id-KLH active immunotherapies in development, Specifid is intended for use as a chronic therapy and is administered until the patient's disease progresses.
