Oxford Technology 2 VCT PLC
6 December 2000
Oxford Technology 2 VCT has invested £150,000 for ordinary shares in
Immunobiology Ltd initially representing about 16.6% of the equity. The
investment is part of a total investment of £450,000 alongside funds
advised by Scientific Generics and Yorkshire Fund Managers, giving the
company a fully diluted valuation of ca £1.25 million. A further
investment this month by a US VC group will complete the present funding
round and provide the necessary funds for the proof-of-principle
programme for ImmBio's vaccine platform technology.
ImmBio was set-up last year by Dr Camilo Colaco, previously Director of
IP at Quadrant Healthcare, to develop the next generation of vaccines for
infectious diseases and was awarded a DTI SMART award for feasibility
studies on the development of a TB vaccine. ImmBio's strategy is to
develop vaccines based on Dr Colaco's discovery of the mechanism of
antigen capture by the immune system. ImmBio's platform technology
utilises the pathogen-derived antigens that are naturally captured by the
immune system thus maximising immunogenicity without the need for non
specific adjuvants. As well as providing more effective vaccines,
ImmBio's approach should enable the rapid development of candidate
vaccines for new infectious disease targets.
