GeoVax Labs (OTCQB:GOVX) published research showing that a single intramuscular dose of its Ebola vaccine, GEO-EM01, provided 100% protection in rhesus macaques challenged with a lethal dose of Ebola virus.
GEO-EM01 uses GeoVax’s Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) virus-like particle platform, which generates a cell- and antibody-mediated immune response. According to GeoVax, this is the first time a single-dose vaccination using an MVA vector has conferred full protection against a lethal Ebola virus challenge in macaques.
