Avir Green Hills: Excellent Preclinical Data on Novel Type of Intranasal H5N1 Influenza Vaccine - Technology Also Suitable for Vaccination against Swine Flu

"The intranasal immunization with our vaccine has proven itself capable of generating a strong immune response against H5N1 viruses. The technology, with which we produce the vaccine, once again has proven itself an especially successful path for future vaccines," reports Dr. Thomas Muster, founder, CEO and CSO of Avir Green Hills Biotechnology. In addition to the intensive immune response, the tests in the animal models also showed long sustainable protection against different varieties of the virus. "Our approach is an attractive alternative to conventional influenza vaccines. Clinical evaluations of our pandemic and seasonal vaccine candidates are already in progress."

the method of reverse genetics developed by Avir Green Hills, makes it possible to produce a vaccine strain against myriad potential viruses within the shortest period of time: an important precondition for the rapid provision of vaccination in case of a pandemic. Avir Green Hills' innovative vaccine ultimately is produced in cell cultures (vero cells)
