Vaccines Human Health: COVID-19 Animal Health: CSFV |
VACCINES 17 Experts Calling for Approaches Like iBio’s “DAVi” Vaccine Design 1 Borio, Bright, and Emanuel, A National Strategy for COVID-19 Medical Countermeasures, JAMA. 2022;327(3):215–216 We need to work towards a 'last dose', not a 'next dose' Antigen-adjuvant combos that may deliver long-lasting immunity Lower cost vaccines & alternative routes of administration Less mutable antigens to protect against emerging variants IBIO-202 Durability Variantinclusion Access “Vaccination strategies based on repeated booster doses of the original vaccine composition are unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable." Boosters are “not something that should be repeated constantly”…it could lead to "problems with immune response." |
VACCINES 18 IBIO-202 Nucleocapsid [N]-based Subunit Vaccine May Complement Current and Future Spike [S]-based Vaccines 1 Dai, L. & Gao, G. F. Viral targets for vaccines against COVID-19. Nature Reviews Immunology 21, 73–82 (2021); 2 Fielding CA, et.al., ADNKA overcomes SARS-CoV2-mediated NK cell inhibition through non-spike antibodies. bioRxiv, (April 2021) Antigen produced in our rapidly scalable FastPharming System N-antigen more effective than S in stimulating Natural Killer cell activation2 Prospectively suitable for delivery via routes other than intramuscular injection N protein function is critical to viral genome packaging and is more highly conserved than the S protein. Thus, new viral variants may be less likely to escape N-based vaccines1 |

Classical Swine Fever Animal Health |
VACCINES 23 Classical Swine Fever [CSF] is a Significant World-Wide Economic Burden and Puts Major Export Markets at Risk • CSF is a priority agricultural biothreat • CSF poses a risk to $7.0B US swine exports • Only 38 countries are currently CSF-free • No vaccines are approved in the US (only a few for emergency use) • Current emergency use CSF vaccines have drawbacks Vaccination control programs are essential to manage outbreaks and regain trade status https://www.oie.int/en/disease/classical-swine-fever/#ui-id-2 o Modified live vaccines do not facilitate international trade o Recombinant vaccines can be expensive |
VACCINES 24 IBIO-400 Offers Potential Benefits Over Current Alternatives 1 In studies IBIO-400: E2 protein subunit vaccine CSF Virus Provides single-dose protection against CSF1 Supports important trade requirements, unlike live virus vaccines Potential to be the first CSF vaccine fully licensed by USDA A single dose of IBIO-400 provides protection for pigs |
