Bill Gates Foundation Grants $30M for Malaria Vaccine Project
December 08, 2007 at 1:11 PM
Drug News
When combined with an antigen, adjuvants prompt an effective immune system response and bolster the strength and lifespan of specific immune responses.
According to an IDRI release, most adjuvants are owned by large pharmaceutical companies and are not easily available to researchers who work on vaccines for diseases that largely affect developing countries.
IDRI will work with the World Health Organization and the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative to identify promising vaccine candidates.
The new vaccines will then be given adjuvants provided by the new Gates grant. "This grant enables IDRI to help advance the development of malaria vaccines," Steven Reed, head of IDRI's research and development program, said.
