PRE-CLINICAL

The TriGrid® Delivery System has been used for delivery of nucleic acid candidates encoding antigens, proteins and monoclonal antibodies in numerous mammalian and avian species.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Enhanced nucleic acid delivery in vivo[1]
  • Favorable performance over other vaccination approaches  [2][3]
  • Electroporation procedure adapted for use in 15 animal species  [4]
  • Extensive GLP safety characterization [5]
  • > 50 peer reviewed publications demonstrating enhanced nucleic acid delivery and improved efficacy

Delivery of the reporter gene encoding Green Fluorescent Protein demonstrateing that intramuscular administration with the Ichor® TriGrid (left) dramatically enhances gene expression compared to conventional DNA injection (right).
