NanoViricides Inc. (NNVC)

[freethemice]

I have been thinking about the future uses for nanoviricides beyond viruses. If you think of a nanoviricide as a large antibody you can see other uses. A ligand for a glycoprotein specific for a bacterial family could be encoded into the nanoviricide then the NVs could attach to that glycoprotein all over the surface of the bacterium. This would be like an antibody opsonizing the bacterium. There could be a cytotoxic agent inside the NV which is released into the bacterium once the NV has fused with the bacterium. Not sure if this would work, but it is an idea.

On another note, it would seem that once the phase 1 is completed that NanoViricides could be a prime candidate for Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the FDA.
