testing. Fr example, researchers have been wrking t

develp an HIV/AIDS vaccine fr decades. Mre than 85

vaccines have demnstrated psitive tcmes in chim-

panzees, bt nne have been eective in hman trials.

The research cmmnity has seen similar failres in singchimpanzees in research t develp a hepatitis C vaccine.

The MIMIC System can prcess thsands f tests each

prcess f develping these and ther vaccineswhile

A Hman Immne

System in a Test Tbe

The immne system is cmplex, adaptive, and remark-ably eective. Its defense mechanisms are specic t anindividals bdy and its tisses and cells. Research sing

animals has been limited in its ability t predict hw the h-

man bdy will react t pathgens and treatments.

VaxDesign Crpratin recently develped a mdel f

immne respnse t a drg r vaccine candidate. MIMIC, r

the Mdlar Immne In vitr Cnstrct, is ne f a grwing

Becase MIMIC is based n hman immne cells, it

shws hman respnses and can accrately predict nde-

sirable respnses. The system can als inclde a dnr base
