Technology

There are many other infectious diseases to which the same traditional vaccine approaches fail to generate protective vaccines. Major obstacles in vaccine design are ineffective immune responses and antigenic variation. While there are a multitude of research and development activities directed at improving the magnitude of vaccine immune responses, i.e. novel vectors, adjuvants, antigen-presentation strategies, expression systems, and cytokines, vaccine solutions have not yet addressed the problem of genetic instability and antigenic variation of the pathogen, which we believe stands as the single most important obstacle in vaccine design today. BMI’s Immune Dampening and Refocusing Technology is a method that defeats this problem of antigenic variation or “Deceptive Imprinting.”
