PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island, 14 de septiembre de 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- EpiVax, Inc., pionero en "ingeniería inmune", ha ganado una nueva beca de 600.000 dólares de los National Institutes of Health en el programa Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) para mejorar una vacuna para el problemático virus de la gripe aviar H7N9. El programa de desarrollo de la vacuna estará dirigido por Annie De Groot, M.D., consejera delegada/responsable científica de EpiVax, además de Lenny Moise, Ph.D., directora de investigación de vacunas de EpiVax, desarrollándose en colaboración con Ted Ross, Ph.D., profesor del Departamento de Enfermedades Infecciosas y director del Center for Vaccines and Immunology de la University of Georgia.

La gripe H7N9 se ha labrado el apodo de "virus sigiloso" por su capacidad de evadir la respuesta humana inmune, tanto en su infección natural1 como en formulaciones de vacuna2. Las vacunas de H7N9 que se han desarrollado usando métodos tradicionales han conseguido resultados pobres.3,4,5 El programa de investigación de la gripe aviar con fondos SBIR de EpiVax pretende re-diseñar las proteínas víricas para detectar de forma más sencilla el sistema inmune, consiguiendo un producto de vacuna más potente. La primera versión de la vacuna de gripe optimizada designada por EpiVax en breve entrará en un ensayo en Fase I en Australia, en colaboración con Vaxine y Protein Sciences Corporation.

El doctor Manon Cox, consejero delegado de Protein Sciences, destacó: "Estamos encantados de trabajar con EpiVax en la exploración del potencial para la ingeniería inmune con vacunas mejores, más seguras y más eficaces".

Este programa de gripe aviar con fondos de SBIR explorará las secuencias de "camuflaje" en el virus, validando el descubrimiento de los epítopos de células T (Tregitopes) en patógenos humanos, un nuevo medio de escape inmune conocido como "camuflaje inmune".6

EpiVax es uno de los miembros fundadores de la comunidad de biotecnología creciente de Rhode Island. "Tenemos suerte de contar con la doctora Annie De Groot y su equipo para llevar a cabo la investigación de biotecnología innovadora aquí en Rhode Island", explicó el Senador Sheldon Whitehouse. "Estos fondos federales son un impulso para el trabajo de EpiVax para el diseño e nuevas vacunas, además de una inversión en la industria de las ciencias de la vida de Providence".

Acerca de EpiVax
EpiVax, Inc., es una compañía de biotecnología centrada en el desarrollo de vacunas e inmunoterapias para enfermedades infecciosas, autoinmunes y el cáncer. Dirigida por la doctora Anne S. De Groot, M.D., y Bill Martin, líderes destacados en el nuevo campo del diseño de vacunas, el equipo de inmunoinformática de EpiVax ha desarrollado los kits de herramientas basados en nube ISPRI e iVAX, utilizados por un abanico mundial de compañías para el diseño y optimización de las proteínas y vacunas terapéuticas.

Camuflaje inmune que se elude y patógenos sigilosos para conseguir vacunas mejores
Estudios científicos validan los conceptos de "virus sigiloso" y "camuflaje inmune" descritos con más detalle en las publicaciones por medio de De Groot and Moise que se están accesibles desde PubMed.

Declaración de fondos del NIH
La investigación ha indicado que este número cuenta con el apoyo del National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases de los National Institutes of Health bajo el número de beca R43AI118189.
