Live attenuated measles virus vaccine strains for SARS-CoV-2 vaccineThe Need The need for effective vaccine development platforms has never been more pressing, especially in the face of evolving pathogens such as the measles virus. Current vaccine production methods often face challenges in achieving optimal expression levels and immunogenicity, hindering their efficacy. There is a crucial demand for a streamlined approach that can swiftly generate vaccine candidates with enhanced expression and immunogenic properties. The Technology Our Measles Platform for Generation of Vaccine Candidates offers a revolutionary solution to the challenges encountered in traditional vaccine development. By leveraging the highly conserved gene junction between the P and M genes of the measles virus genome, we have optimized a specific location for the insertion of foreign genes. This strategic insertion ensures maximal expression while maintaining viral viability. Furthermore, our technology incorporates antigen modification techniques, including codon optimization and structural modifications, to enhance immunogenicity and antigen stability.
