GenVec And Washington University at St. Louis Form Collaboration To Discover Targeted Adenovector-Based Therapeutics And Vaccines

GAITHERSBURG, Md., June 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- GenVec, Inc. ( NASDAQ: GNVC) today announced a multi-faceted collaboration with Dr. David T. Curiel and his team from the School of Medicine at Washington University at St. Louis (WUSTL). Dr. Curiel is the director of the Biologic Therapeutic Center and the Cancer Biology Division within the Department of Radiation Oncology.

Under the collaboration, GenVec and the WUSTL team will create modified versions of GenVec's gorilla adenovectors that incorporate specialized targeting antibodies on the surface of the vectors. These antibodies are produced only by camels, alpacas and other camelids and are smaller and more stable in intracellular environments than their mouse or human counterparts. The ultimate goal of this collaboration will be to create highly targeted therapeutics and vaccines.
