Description
CRV-101 is a next-generation shingles vaccine candidate designed to maximize the CMI protection by combining the gE protein antigen with our proprietary adjuvant
An effective VZV vaccine requires potent induction of VZV-specific cell-mediated immunity(CMI) since reduced CMI to VZV has been associated with increased risks of developing shingles
CMI: powerful means of immune protection against virus infection is mediated by T cells in the body.
This is called Cell-Mediated Immune (CMI) responses through triggering antigen-specific T cells that eliminate infected cells in the system.
