M-001: A COMMON DENOMINATOR OF FLU VIRUSES
BiondVax’s M-001 Existing vaccines
Universal: Broad coverage Strain specific Single formulation enabling year-round vaccination New vaccine every year Quick, robust year-round production (6-8 weeks) Long (4-6 month) production cycle Induces cellular (CMI) and enhances humoral (HAI priming effect) immune response to flu Limited vaccine effectiveness Shelf life up to 24 months at 2-8⁰C (testing is ongoing) and 6 months at ~25⁰C (room temperature) Not applicable, since new vaccine every season
Target Common Regions
Nine common regions (epitopes) of flu strains are connected to make one recombinant protein called M-001 produced in E.coli
HemAgglutinin (HA) NucleoProtein (NP) Matrix protein (M1)
The Influenza Virus
Universal Flu Vaccine
A common denominator for Seasonal & Pandemic strains

BiondVax’s M-001 Dual Mode of Action
M-001’s dual mode of action potentially offers multi-season and multi-strain protection One • For All : The Universal Flu Vaccine
Cellular (CMI) Works inside infected cells Humoral (HAI) Works outside cells
Our immune system has 2 arms:
B-cell T-cell

In the clinical trials we looked for the intrinsic CMI M-001 immunogenicity compared to baseline and its priming effect
