The proposed new treatment to be established with this ongoing study is the creation of a bacteriophage immunotherapy. Bacteriophage are naturally occurring microscopic viruses that utilize bacteria to replicate. They contain unique DNA inside a capsid head and use “tail” fibers to attach to cell membranes. They are known to target specific sites (proteins and receptors), which can be exploited.
