TargetFish - delivering improved vaccines

摘要

Marine Scotland Science is taking part in a new 5-year EU funded project, TargetFish,http://targetflsh.eu/, which aims to reduce the impact of fish disease on European aquaculture through the development of targeted vaccination strategies. Development of new vaccines can be slow due to challenges such as sub-optimal delivery systems, a weak immune response to vaccines, and gaps in our knowledge of the immune response offish. The TargetFish project meets a large number of these challenges by bringing together expertise of 30 academic and industrial partners in fish pathology, immunology,biotechnology and vaccine development. Participating partners are listed in Table I.
