Isconova’s Matrix M™ selected for further studies
Isconova’s adjuvant Matrix M™ has been selected by the Swiss biotech-company Evolva Holding SA (“Evolva”) as one of three immune-stimulating substances for further studies (pre-IND). The properties of the product have made it appropriate for use against bio-terrorism.
Isconova’s Matrix M™, used also in vaccines, stimulates the immune system defence and increases the ability to withstand infectious diseases in humans. The aim of Evolva’s study is to develop therapeutical substances effective against unidentified microorganisms that can be used in biological warfare or bio-terrorism.
Lena Söderström, CEO of Isconova, comments; “We’re happy to have been selected for further development. It’s a confirmation that our technology platform holds the highest standards. Matrix M™ is a very promising product with favourable properties and we look forward to the results of the study.”
