Current Severe Outbreaks of Foot and Mouth Disease Predicted by Replikins' BioRadar™ One Year in Advance (June 2009)
Replikins TransFoot and Mouth Disease(FMD) Vaccine™ now available. Highest replikin count in FMDV in 52 years found in 2009
LONDON, July 16, 2010 -- BioRadar UK Ltd. predicted one year ago the current severe Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreaks after recording an increase of the Replikin Count of the FMD Virus (FMDV) to its highest level in 52 years. Based on these findings, a new synthetic Replikins Trans-Strain FMD Vaccine, called TransFMDV™, has been developed and is now available... Read more 
Both H5N1 Bird Flu and H1N1 Swine Flu Replikin Counts™ Increasing
Boston, April 9, 2010 - The most recent BioRadar™ (FluForecast™) analysis of the virus genomes of both H5N1, known for high lethality, and H1N1, known for high infectivity, indicates that the Replikin Counts™ of both strains are rising. Such Count increases in a specific strain have been invariably associated with clinical outbreaks of that strain... Read more 
Lethality of H1N1 Virus Drops to "Non-Epidemic Resting Levels" in Current Cycle; Virus' Infectivity Remains Increased
Boston, November 27, 2009 - Biotech firm Replikins Ltd., which has analyzed the H1N1 virus' genomic data from the 1918 pandemic through the prediction, outbreak, and progress of the current H1N1 pandemic, today issued its latest biochemical analysis of the virus... Read more

The current spread of bird flu has drawn attention to the need for improved public health measures to predict, prevent and counter both natural and man-made emerging epidemic threats.
Our FluForecast™ software technology has shown that an increase in Replikin Count™ peptide quantities precedes observed epidemics. In addition, after an epidemic has run its course, there is a decline in Replikin Count™ peptide quantities.
Previously, no quantitative virus protein changes were known which correlate with, let alone predict, influenza epidemics such as the current H5N1 Bird Flu, or indicate their cessation. Advance specific warning, made possible by our discovery of a biochemistry of rapid replication, now allows time a) for public health measures to be instituted, and b) for an early start on synthetic vaccine development. |

Recent outbreaks of SARS, H5N1 (bird flu) and H1N1 (swine flu) have increased awareness of the need for rapid vaccine development in response to emerging viral threats. Replikins software-driven technology allows for earlier development of vaccine candidates, as well as rapid prototyping and production of the vaccines that emerge from early clinical trials.
Replikins are a new class of peptides whose increase in concentration in virus
proteins (Replikin Count™ peptide quantities) is associated with rapid replication. Subtypes of
these peptides are consistently present in a wide range of rapidly-replicating
viruses, pointing the way towards synthesis of vaccine candidates. |
