VBI Vaccines Inc (VBIV)

[JordieSands]

SVACF's flagship product is a Hepatitis B vaccine called Sci-B-Vac. Hepatitis B transfers from carrier to carrier through sexual contact, blood contamination and from mother to child. The virus gets into and replicates in hepatocytes, which are the primary functioning cell in the human liver. This invasion of hepatocyte cells leads to an immune response, during which the immune system attacks infected cells, causing damage not only to the infected cells, but also to wider liver function.
