Prokarium acquires key oral vaccine technology from Emergent BioSolutions
Emergent has successfully conducted several phase 1 and 2 clinical trials, which have shown TyphellaTM to be safe and immunogenic as a typhoid vaccine. The combination with Prokarium’s plasmid stabilisation technology ORT-VACTM, will enable the delivery of recombinant protein vaccines without needles or adjuvants. Prokarium plans to offer this VaxonellaTM platform to the biotech community on a licensing basis.
Prokarium will focus on the development of a dual oral vaccine against typhoid and ETEC (enterotoxigenic E. coli) for travellers and developing country markets.
