Hawaii firm develops vaccine.
2003 AUG 13 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A Hawaii research company has developed a vaccine using genetically engineered viral proteins to protect human beings from contracting the West Nile virus.
David Watumull, president and chief executive officer of Hawaii Biotech, said the vaccine produced by the company protected 100% of 60 test animals who were injected with West Nile virus. In contrast, 77% of the 30 control animals died and the others showed some signs of sickness, he said.
Aiea-based Hawaii Biotech, a privately held biopharmaceutical company specializing in drug research and development, was founded in 1982 by nine University of Hawaii professors.
The company plans to test the vaccine on humans within the next 15 months, Watumull said.
