About GeoVax

GeoVax Labs, Inc. (OTCQB: GOVX) is a biotechnology company developing human vaccines using its novel DNA/MVA vaccine delivery platform. The Company's lead development program is focused on vaccines to prevent, and treat, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections. Recently it has initiated a program to develop an Ebola virus vaccine. GeoVax's unique, two component HIV vaccine, a recombinant DNA and a recombinant modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA), is designed to stimulate both anti-HIV antibody and anti-HIV T cell immune responses. GeoVax's DNA and MVA vaccines are used in a prime/boost protocol in which priming is done with the DNA and boosting with the MVA. Priming and boosting can also be done with the MVA. Both the DNA and MVA express the three major proteins of the HIV virus: Gag, Pol, and Env, and produce non-infectious virus-like particles. GeoVax's vaccines are unique in expressing virus-like particles that display the native form of the trimeric membrane-bound HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein. Clinical trials for GeoVax's preventive HIV vaccines have been conducted by the US National Institutes of Health-supported HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN) with funding from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID). Overall, GeoVax's vaccines, in various doses and combinations, have been tested in close to 500 humans. GeoVax is using its MVA vaccine platform to develop a vaccine to prevent acquisition of the Ebola virus. Efforts are focused against the current epidemic version of the virus.
