I am wondering about if this woudl be as effective in a person like myslef, who has an over active immune system (auto immune disorder). They said they had to do some tissue type matching, but if a person's immune system attacks healthy cells, due to an auto immune problem, then that may complicates the effectiveness of creating cells that would lnto be targeted by the immune system due to an auto immune disordeer.

Ironically, m auto immune disorder did tno manifest until i developed cancer (leukemia) myself. However, I was cured with a drug only therapy. Most peopel when they stop tkign the drug have a recurrence. However i did/have not. So, my auto immune problems may be a variable that keeps me from getting leukemia again. Especially since the auto immune problems manifested only when I got leukemia as if it were my body's reaction to it.

Good question. Sorry for what has happened to you. Do you have a form of Lupus? i have come across several articles using CRSPR in autoimmune diseases as well.

@Lukian It's a form of panniculitis
