BECC438b

Vaxjo ID 123       
Vaccine Adjuvant Name BECC438b       
Adjuvant VO ID VO_0005298
Description small molecule with TLR4 receptor that induces Th1/Th2 response       
Stage of Development Research       
Location Licensed US (University of Maryland, Baltimore)       
Host Species for Testing Mouse       
Components novel bacterial enzymatic combinatorial chemistry (BECC)-derived toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) agonists and the aluminum hydroxide adjuvant Alhydrogel (did not always include Alhydrogel .. dependent on experimental study)       
Preparation novel TLR4Ls were generated by BECC mutations in Yersinia pestis strain KIM6+ (pCD1−), an attenuated (BSL2) strain       
Function Induces mucosal immunity, induces epitope spreading
