Researchers have made a major step forward in their work to develop a biologically engineered organism that can effectively deliver an antigen in the body.

The researchers report that they have been able to use live salmonella bacterium as the containment/delivery method for an antigen.

(Arizona State University) Researchers at the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University have made a major step forward in their work to develop a biologically engineered organism that can effectively deliver an antigen in the body.

The researchers report that they have been able to use live salmonella bacterium as the containment/delivery method for an antigen.

(Cure Lab, Inc.) One of the most pressing biomedical issues is the development of techniques that increase the efficiency of vaccines.

In a paper published on April 24, 2008 in the journal Vaccine, a Massachusetts biotechnology company, Cure Lab, Inc. has proposed a new technology for anti-viral and potentially anti-cancer vaccination.

Cure Lab demonstrates that deriving a vaccine antigen in two forms and then applying these two forms in combination elicits a much stronger immune response.
