I was re-reading 'Ian Frazer The man who saved a million lives' by Madonna King and thought I would share with you this excerpt which will give you some insight into just how significant both Professor Frazer and Dr Zhou Jian believe their codon modification discovery to be…….
(From the book)
"Coridon, an unlisted company, was set up by Ian, Janet Caffin who met Ian through UniQuest, Jian's widow, Xiao Yi, and Jimmy Botella, a Bisbane academic, to own and milk a second discovery - codon modification - developed by Ian and Jian many years earlier. It is just as complex as it sounds, and both Jian and Ian believed this discovery would be at least as, if not more, significant as the VLP."
What is the VLP?
Again from the book……
(This is while Ian and Jian were in the early stages of working on a HPV vaccine)
Eventually, one day, and after many false starts, Jian finally cracked it. A developed photograph sat in front of him. He could see a virus-like particle - a VLP, or harmless virus casing that could be used to prompt the immune system to churn out antibodies……..
Jian repeated (to Frazer) that they'd made a VLP.
'No, Jian,' Ian said slowly. 'We've got a vaccine.'
About the technology……
Coridon has 6 granted US patents protecting its codon optimisation DNA technology, which enhances protein expression in the cell or tissue targeted and results in an improved humoral response. The second component of the technology, also patent protected, is to use a mixture of DNAs encoding ubiquitinated and non ubiquitinated proteins. This strategy enhances the degradation of the protein and optimises T cell responses, while preserving structural epitopes necessary for B cells responses, resulting in vaccines with prophylactic and therapeutic potential.
