Products
mRNA-encoded adjuvant platform
A platform whereby mRNAs encode immunostimulatory proteins that are formulated in lipid nanoparticles to act as encoded adjuvants, intended to increase T cell memory responses when combined with antigen-encoding mRNAs.
Dendritic cell hyperactivation platform
A platform using hyperactivator molecules to induce a DC state that combines antigen presentation, co-stimulation, migration, polarization cytokine secretion and memory-signal release (IL-1β) to produce long-lived memory T and B cell responses.
