MILPITAS, Calif. -
May 6, 2020 -
PRLog -- AbVision, Inc., an innovative biopharmaceutical company, announced today that the Company has developed a first-in-class COVID-19 vaccine candidate (AVI-205) with an active targeting feature, powered by its patented ImmunoBuster-
IITM Active Targeting Vaccine Platform. This novel COVID-19 vaccine actively targets immune cells upon injection as compared to the passive diffusion mechanism of traditional vaccines. The Active Targeting COVID-19 vaccine results in the generation of neutralizing IgG antibodies that block the binding of SARS-CoV-2 S1 to hACE2 in less than one week, an immune response that takes more than two weeks to achieve with traditional vaccines. In addition, the Active Targeting COVID-19 vaccine is more potent than vaccines without the active targeting feature, eliciting both a more rapid immune response and a greater resultant IgG antibody titer (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). The Company has now successfully completed preclinical studies and generated promising data. This novel COVID-19 vaccine candidate is now available for out-licensing and collaborations for downstream development and clinical studies.
