Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 SO the VAXGEN Vaccine was developed at Porton Down... F. Sorg Anthrax Vaccination Program Exposed http://www.avip2001.net/ gwvet@... Volunteers test new anthrax vaccine By Highfield, Science Editor (Filed: 05/03/2004) A new anthrax vaccine designed to combat bioterrorist attacks is being tested on humans, it was announced yesterday. Although it was developed at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory in Porton Down, Wilts, clinical trials are being carried out in the US on 115 volunteers. The two-shot vaccine is designed to give protection from anthrax spores and can be effective even if administered shortly after exposure. It is hoped it will replace the existing shot which needs four doses over six months. The vaccine will eventually provide a stockpile for civilian emergencies in America and the US government has requested three million doses. The ultimate aim is to have it licensed in Europe within five years. Unlike the current vaccine, which requires the handling of live anthrax bacteria, the new vaccine is based on a purified anthrax protein. DSTL has developed the vaccine with Avecia, the biotechnology company, which has been awarded a £40 million contract by the US government to manufacture three million doses. Avecia said it will bid to provide a further 75 million doses. Earlier this week, VaxGen, a Californian company, reported promising results of a clinical trial on 100 volunteers of another vaccine designed to induce antibodies that neutralise anthrax toxins but which cannot cause infection.
