Novel Vaccine Antigen Presentation Platforms
Application
Combined antigen-adjuvant virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine platform for enhanced immune response.
Key Benefits
Chimeric VLPs (cVLPs) contain both antigen and adjuvant, thereby enhancing both cellular and humoral responses.
cVLPs are safer than live replicating vectored vaccines because of their lack of infectivity.
The cVLP manufacturing...
