Study examines how monoclonal antibodies mitigate influenza and mycobacterium tuberculosis
Longhorn Vaccines and Diagnostics, a One Health company developing vaccines and diagnostic tools for global public health and zoonosis concerns, will present three abstracts at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) 2024. ECCMID will take place online and in-person in Barcelona, Spain, from April 27-30, 2024.
The first two abstracts will detail data on LHNVD-105, an adjuvanted composite peptide universal influenza vaccine, and the monoclonal antibodies it produces. A third abstract will be presented by the University of Pretoria on Longhorn's monoclonal antibodies for the prevention and treatment of infections caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis and gram-positive bacteria.
