Well-Capitalized VaxInnate Corporation Gets Another $6 Million For Its Bacteria-Based Flu Vaccines

New Jersey’s VaxInnate is developing inoculations to ward off seasonal and pandemic flu, dengue fever and Clostridium difficile. The well-capitalized company has raised a recent round of $6 million, according to a regulatory filing.

The company genetically fuses vaccine antigens to flagellin, a protein that forms the flagella of a bacterium that’s known for being highly recognizable by the immune system. Indeed, mammals in particular are known to have a strong innate (thus the company’s name) immune response to flagellated bacteria.
