Allergy Therapeutics (LON:AGY) has published data in peer-reviewed journals from two preclinical studies analysing its immuno-therapy platform as a potential vaccine against malaria and the flu.

The two papers reported that Allergy’s immunotherapy Pollinex platform, microcrystalline tyrosine (MCT), both alone and in an adjuvant (immune system booster) system, had broad applications and boosted protection compared to conventional adjuvants.

The studies were carried out through Allergy’s Bencard Adjuvant Systems division. 

Manuel Llobet, chief executive, said: "These publications underpin the strategy for our Bencard Adjuvant Systems division, which focuses on extending the use of MCT and VLP (virus-like particle) in further developing vaccines against unmet needs, and new and emerging infectious diseases that require an effective depot adjuvant."
