2004 FEB 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (BPA) announced that it has been awarded a subcontract valued at $658,207 for the development of anthrax vaccines for delivery via alternative routes of administration.

Under the subcontract, BioSante will provide BioVant, its proprietary nanotechnology-based vaccine adjuvant and delivery system, and DVC will provide recombinant antigens to be used in potential vaccines against anthrax. The objective is to assess the immunogenic potential of BioVant when used in anthrax vaccines versus the immunogenic response of anthrax vaccines that use Alhydrogel as the vaccine adjuvant.
BioSante is responsible for developing formulations of BioVant with the anthrax vaccine antigens and will conduct immunization studies in animals to determine the immunogenicity of the ...
