ImmBio’s lead development candidate is an influenza vaccine based on the ImmunoBody® platform technology. An ImmunoBody is a fusion of a selected immuno-dominant antigen with a cell-binding domain — the Fc fragment of human IgG1. The use of recombinant Fc fusion proteins is well documented where it can help solubilize hydrophobic proteins, provide a handle for easy detection and purification, as well as improve half-life…
