China Biopharma and HYTE Research LLC Enter into Technology Partnership to Improve Safety and Efficacy of Human Vaccines

China Biopharma, Inc. , a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and distributing human vaccine products in China, announced today that it has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with HYTE Research LLC, a New Jersey-based biotechnology research company. According to the agreement, the companies will jointly develop and commercialize Nano-Poly Enhancement technology for improving the effectiveness and reducing the side effects of human vaccines.

The resulting new technology will be used to combine with current human vaccines to achieve the immune-enhancing properties of surface antigen. Due to its superior field efficacy, this technology may be used to replace commonly used chemical adjuvants. An adjuvant is a substance that helps and enhances the pharmacological effect of a drug or increases the ability of an antigen to stimulate the immune system.

China Biopharma CEO Peter Wang stated, "Most of the vaccines produced in China do not use an adjuvant to improve the protective antibody responses after immunization. Our technology partnership with HYTE Research is very exciting as it would create a potentially 'disruptive technology' in the Chinese immunization market. We believe this technology could lead to wide commercial applications in the global human vaccine industry." China Biopharma will utilize its existing platforms to conduct the development and commercialization of the new technology. According to the LOI, China Biopharma will hold 55% of the intellectual property rights on the technology.

Chairman of HYTE Research LLC Dr. Yimin Yu commented, "China Biopharma's impressive portfolio of human vaccine products makes it an ideal partner. We share in their same goal, to develop and commercialize improving technologies that drive the industry's standard for best-in-practice human vaccines. We look forward to progressing with our development activities, and pursuing new marketing opportunities."
