SKAU VACCINES
SKAUvaccines is a technology based biotech company developing Hyper
Immunogenic Antigens (HIA) against a number of viral diseases
caused by enveloped RNA viruses.
The
Hyper Immunogenic Antigens
are constructed by minor alterations (one or two mutations) to
the immune suppressive domain of the viral surface proteins to
remove their inherent immune suppressive activity while
maintaining the overall native conformation of the envelope
protein. Thus the HIA technology can be combined with existing
vaccination strategies involving viral surface proteins and/or
VLPs.
Currently our
pipeline includes HIV, HCV, Ebola, Dengue fever and influenza, all
in preclinical stage
