BI-Eng2

Vaxjo ID 149       
Vaccine Adjuvant Name BI-Eng2       
Adjuvant VO ID VO_0005507
Description Vaccine adjuvant with CLR(dectin, mincle) that is primarily composed of protein and actives innate immune pathways to induce a mixed Th1/Th2 response       
Stage of Development Research       
Location Licensed US (University of Wisconsin)       
Host Species for Testing Mouse       
Second Host Species for Testing Rabbit       
Components glycoprotein       
Function Type: microbial derivative vaccine adjuvant. Target Receptor: C-type lectin domain family 6 member A (Dectin-2) | C-type lectin domain family 4 member E (Mincle). Induces Th1/Th2 mixed immune profile. induces the production of IL-1β and IL-6 by dendritic cells and acts as an adjuvant to promote differentiation of CD4+ T cells into anti-fungal Th17 cells
