About Juvaris
Juvaris BioTherapeutics was created in 2003 to develop an immunotherapeutic product platform for the treatment of infectious diseases and cancers using lipid-DNA complexes. Cationic lipids are formulated with non-coding DNA (plasmid) to create the JuvImmune Immunostimulant, a lipid-DNA complex, which as a single product will have utility in multiple infectious disease and cancer applications. The JuvImmune product has been shown to be at least 50-times more potent at triggering innate immune activation and interferon release than current immune stimulants.
When combined with disease-specific antigens, the technology creates
JuvaVax vaccines capable of activating substantial antibody- and
cell-mediated immune responses, particularly induction of cytotoxic T
lymphocytes (CTL). Immunological responses elicited by the lipid-DNA
complexes have been successfully demonstrated in both prophylactic and
therapeutic settings in a variety of mammals including rodents, rabbits,
cats, dogs and non-human primates. This platform provides the opportunity
to develop many disease-specific immunotherapy products, for which
