MEDICINE & HEALTHBioVaxys, a biotechnology company and world leader in the development of haptenized protein vaccines, has developed a technology platform implementable against both viruses and cancer cells. With vaccines in development including ones for late-stage ovarian cancer and SARS-CoV-2, their immunotherapeutic approach stimulates a robust response in the production of T-cells, which is a critical breakthrough for fighting viruses and cancer cells, as T-cells directly battle pathogens and tumours by targeting and destroying infected or cancerous cells, and can provide a longer-lasting immune response than by antibodies alone.
With COVID-19 cases rising rapidly across the globe and the little information we know about immunity against it, the global demand for a simple, low-cost, easy-to-administer, and accurate tool to test for the presence of T cells against SARVS-CoV-2 to identify safe and at-risk populations, is increasing.
