Arenavirus-Based Vectors Generate Robust SIV Immunity in Non-Human Primates

This press release details the collaboration between BIOQUAL, Inc. and Virginia Tech who established the cynomolgus macaque as one of the first non-human primate models of Mayaro virus infection.

A non-human primate model for human norovirus infection

BIOQUAL, Inc., in collaboration with Dan Barouch and his team at BIDMC, recently published an article in Science Translational Medicine. For this proof-of-concept study, rhesus macaques were vaccinated with the licensed ACAM2000 or JYNNEOS vaccines or with an Adenovirus-based vector that expressed 2 or 4 vaccinia virus antigens. Differences between the vaccines allowed an investigation of immune correlates of protection against Mpox. Details about the study can be found in the link below.
