Creating Vaccines & Therapeutics Against Global Health Challenges

VaxSyna utilizes a easily modifiable Vaccine Platform to address unmet needs for both established and emerging infectious diseases

Naturally forming complexes

Platform Monomer

The vaccine platform displays multiple antigens on self-assembling higher order antibody complexes to induce a pathogen-specific immune response in minimal doses without an adjuvant

Multiple Antigen Display

Full Protection in 1-2 Doses

Easy to Modify

Our patented vaccine platform is made up of a human IgG antibody fused to a target vaccine antigen and an epitope tag specific to the vaccine platform's antibody. This configuration enables higher-order antibody complexes that trigger the immune response through Fc-Receptor binding and crosslinking. The platform is easily modified to any size target antigen and multiple antigens can be displayed on either the C- or N- terminus of the platform IgG.
