The immunotherapies are administered over various periods of time. Usually, they're single injections of cells that are modified. For example, in our protocol, we're using cells where we're eliminating those components that react to the patient. This is done on a single injection. However, the patients have to be followed afterwards to make sure that they're doing fine. In their CAR technologies, similarly, it's a single injection of these cells and the patients are being followed afterwards.
