AmVac AG Granted Patent for new Vaccine Development
The patent for the Sendai platform technology broadly covers its use for any recombinant, replication deficient negative-strand RNA virus with a mutation in the so-called P-gene. This broad protection covers all development activities in relation to the Sendai platform technology for developing vaccines against a number of infectious diseases.
This technology, which has been developed by Prof .Wolfgang Neubert's group at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, is to be used for numerous indications in the future. AmVac Research GmbH is concentrating on providing protection against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in the development of its first vaccine. This viral pathogen causes serious airway diseases which can lead to loss of function of the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract. Young children, the elderly, and individuals with a weakened immune system are particularly affected by this flu-like viral disease.
AmVac AG has filed the entire patent family beyond the borders of the EU in the other countries Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Hong-Kong, Eurasia, Israel, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Singapore, The United States, and South Africa. AmVac AG has already been successful in Mexico and South Africa. Both countries have granted patents with the same scope of protection as in Europe.
