"The approach used by EpiVax is called Antigen-Specific Adaptive Tolerance Induction (ASATI) to specifically target and reduce undesirable immune responses.

The promising treatment, called Epi-13, may have application to a broad range of auto-immune disorders.


EpiVax is pioneering the use of immunoinformatics for making safer, more effective human therapeutics. This approach also offers hope for individualizing therapies, also known as immuno-pharmacogenomics.
