Indeed, regulations will have to change before phage therapy is used. This should be done.
Re allergy: cite? It's of course possible to be allergic to other components of phage preparation, but I don't think anyone is allergic to the phages themselves. Many people are allergic to antibiotics, particularly those in the penicillin group.
- danieltillett 11y agoWhile I agree the regulations should change I can't see the likes of the FDA changing anytime soon. You can create anti-phage antibodies (here is a paper from 1933 on doing this [1], there are hundreds more) - if you can create antibodies to something then you can create an allergy to that thing. 1. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2048399/pdf/brjexppathol00234-0001.pdf http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2048399/pdf/brje...
