HepaVaxx B
HepaVaxx B vaccine consists of a recombinant chimeric molecule containing a hepatitis B viral antigen and a portion of a murine monoclonal antibody. The molecule is designed to target dendritic cells, which play a significant role in antigen presentation and initiation of an immune response. In preclinical testing, HepaVaxx B has produced both cellular and humoral immune responses. ViRexx believes that the development of humoral and cellular responses may be effective in clearing the virus from patients with chronic hepatitis B infection.
