GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has partnered with Xiamen Innovax Biotech to support the development of a recombinant protein-based vaccine candidate against Covid-19.
The vaccine candidate, Covid-19 XWG-03, is being developed by Innovax Biotech in alliance with Xiamen University, based on multiple truncated S (spike) proteins.
As part of the collaboration, GSK agreed to offer its pandemic adjuvant system for preclinical assessment of the vaccine candidate.
During the preclinical testing, Innovax Biotech will evaluate the series of S proteins related to the vaccine candidate to establish a lead candidate based on immunogenicity data.
