Vaccine development company receives European patent allowance for enhanced immune response

ImmunoVaccine Technologies, Inc. (Halifax, Canada), a privately held life sciences vaccine development company, received a patent allowance from the European patent office for their patent application entitled 'Vaccines with enhanced immune response and methods for their preparation'. The patent number provided to IVT was 01 983 349.0-2402. All of the claims filed for the patent were allowed following modification of claims 43, 44 and 45. These claims were modified to conform to European patent presentation.

Upon receiving the notification Dr. Warwick Kimmins, President and CEO stated, "The issuance of the European patent complements the US patent protection for our VacciMax vaccine platform technology and is good news for IVT's shareholders and our industry partners."

IVT is best known for its proprietary vaccine enhancement platform, VacciMax. The company has significantly advanced the technology since the company was founded in 2000 by Dr. Kimmins, a former Dalhousie University (Halifax, Canada) Dean of Science. IVT's first product was SpayVac, a contraceptive vaccine effective in many animals. According to Dr. Kimmins, the logical next step for the development of the VacciMax platform was in the area of infectious diseases and cancer.

IVT is currently focused developing its VacciMax platform, through licensing the technology to partner companies, both mid to large size, in the animal and human health sectors.
