Our Breakthrough Technology
Vaxart oral vaccination route has overcome the main
obstacle to vector-based vaccination: anti-vector immune
response. Many people have been naturally exposed to adenovirus
and have antibodies that will react against the vaccine vector; this
limits the effectiveness of vaccination against the target
antigen. Anti-vector immunity also complicates the reuse
(boosting) of a vaccine, and the ability to vaccinate against multiple
diseases by using the same vector with a different target antigen.
Vaxart's data confirms that serum anti-vector neutralizing
responses are not mirrored in the intestinal environment, allowing oral
delivery to circumvent pre-existing immunity. Vaxart has
demonstrated the ability to use the same non-replicating vector
platform to vaccinate an animal against multiple diseases, using a
series of different oral vaccines. |
