There is a strong basis to support the modulators properties of innate immunity of GCAP, although there is a lack of data that explains deeply the interactions between the mechanisms involved. GMA may represent a new therapy that offers not a single pathway effect but a global modulation of the most important pathways involved in innate immune response. Future investigations should elucidate the intimate mechanism of action.
