TapImmune Inc. is a biotechnology company specializing in the development of innovative therapeutics and vaccines in the areas of oncology and infectious disease. The company’s lead product, the TAP vaccine performs a key step in moving characteristic markers called antigens to the surfaces of cells. Without TAP, there are no cancer markers, so the immune system fails to spot the rogue cells and the cancerous cells can grow undetected. The Company’s vaccine has shown effective restoration of TAP which restores and augments the marker (antigen) presentation and subsequent recognition and killing of cancer cells by the immune system. The TAP molecule also works as an adjuvant or ‘accelerant’ to enhance targeted vaccines against infectious diseases. Including TAP in the studied Smallpox Vaccine showed potency was increased by 100-1000 times. The company is currently developing AdhTAP for the commencement of toxicology studies leading to the initiation of Phase I clinical trials.
