Top result for Imugene's bird flu vaccine
May 21, 2007
Imugene : 100 per cent of vaccinated broiler chickens survived H5N1
...
The first dose of the drug was injected into the eggs of the trial group, and an oral booster was then given when the chickens were seven days old.
The birds were then exposed to a highly pathogenic Asian strain of the H5N1 avian influenza virus, with all showing no signs of the disease.
...
Seven out of eight unvaccinated chickens died
...refused to speculate as to when the drug would appear on the market,
Imugene is developing two vaccines, one for broiler or meat producing birds,
and the other for breeding and egg layer birds.
Shares in Imugene leapt with news of the trial's success, rising 6c or 25.53 per cent to 29.5 shortly after midday.

----------------------------
they don't say, against which H5N1-strain they tested the vaccine
and what amount of cross-protection can be expected for other strains.
Can the vaccine also be used by humans , maybe after some modification ?
