And again: longer story on @capebiopharms investment #GreenVaccines #ISPMF
To think this all started with a hyper-optimistic TEDx talk in Cape Town 6 years ago π Well done, @capebiopharms; well done @UCT_news and @UCT_Research for backing them; wonderful that @EIB saw the potential; now letβs see you fly! #GreenVaccines #ISPMF
Two weeks, two great papers on plant-made papillomavirus VLPs by talented young MSc graduates from our lab. Paulinaβs turn: potential for a decavalent plant-produced HPV vaccine!! #ispmf #GreenVaccines!
#GreenVaccines π Congrats!
Shout out by Margaret Liu for Medicago's plant-made VLPs as a protein subunit vaccine for COVID π #TECHVAC #GreenVaccines
This is a big deal: β... the plant-derived QVLP [seasonal influenza] vaccine can provide substantial protection against respiratory illness and influenza-like illness caused by influenza viruses in adults.β #GreenVaccines
EXCELLENT talk by Brian Ward @medicagoinc on their plant-made vaccine: impressive antibody responses and neutralising titres, with dose sparing to <4 ug/dose being effective. I'd take it like a shot?! π #GreenVaccines
2/2
- it's hard to pull your stomach in all the time
- I touch my nose a lot.
Funnily enough, this is about my interest in 1918 Flu and flu history, and not my pet research. Although I did slip in a mention π #GreenVaccines Carte Blanche, here we come!!
#ISPMF2020 Well, still trying - since February - to get some actual money for COVID-19 work, although
@EmmanuelMargol1 and @capebiopharms
have been going full steam ahead with S and Se derivatives nonetheless! #greenvaccines
VERY cool! Cape Bio Pharms' new video. #GreenVaccines @leaf_expression
I heard today that someone's friend doesn't get vaccinated "Because the vaccines aren't vegan". Takes my breath away...of course, being as he's from our lab, he said "But ours are?!" #GreenVaccines ππ
#GreenVaccines Quicker. Safer. π
I heard some advance rumours here in Atlanta...B-) Go #GreenVaccines go!
Now HERE'S a nice piece of work: single shot intradermal vaccination with flu H5 HA-containing virus-like particles made in plants, with GLA-AF as an adjuvant! #GreenVaccines @medicagoinc
