Bavarian Nordic has today announced that the company has published additional data demonstrating that mice could be protected from lethal infection with mousepox, a closely related virus to smallpox in man, the company wrote in an announcement.
In the study the animals were treated with a single vaccination with Imvamune three days after the animals had received the lethal infection.
»Moreover, the immune mechanisms associated with this robust post-exposure protection afforded by Imvamune were shown to involve both non-specific and specific arms of the immune system in the early phase, while killer T cells were required in the later states to finally recover from the infection«.
Bavarian see the new data as positive:
»This work provides additional efficacy data supporting the post-exposure protection provided by Imvamune, which is one of the requirements to potentially support the use of Imvamune following a declared emergency. Furthermore, these latest data also provides an insight into immunological parameters involved in the protection afforded by Imvamune,« the company wrote. Direkt/BNS
