972225Room temperature stable MVA-GP pox vectored vaccine against CCHFClosedSmall Business Research InitiativeInnovate UKThe objective of the proposed programme is to achieve a room-temperature stable, ready-to-inject vaccine against Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF). HydRIS (Hypodermic Re-hydration Injection System) stabilisation platform with a proven track record of successfully stabilising live viral and bacterial vectors will be assessed to stabilise MVA-GP vaccine- a novel pox-vector based vaccine against CCHF developed by the Health Protection Agency. The successful completion of the programme will enable to develop a CCHF vaccine that will not rely on the cold-chain-distribution, which is especially challenging in certain parts of the world vulnerable to CCHF. As a platform technology, this programme will further demonstrate the applicability to a range of MVA-vectored vaccines.
