The Impact n Animals
In iin scienic cnsieins, spekes willexmine he ehicl cnsieins niml expei-
testing. Fr example, researchers have been wrking t
develp an HIV/AIDS vaccine fr decades. Mre than 85
vaccines have demnstrated psitive tcmes in chim-
panzees, bt nne have been eective in hman trials.
The research cmmnity has seen similar failres in singchimpanzees in research t develp a hepatitis C vaccine.
The MIMIC System can prcess thsands f tests each
mnth and is highly predictive. It cld help accelerate the
prcess f develping these and ther vaccineswhile
prdcing data relevant t hman pplatins.
VaxDesign is already wrking with the Internatinal
AIDS Vaccine Initiative, ther nngvernmental rgani-
zatins, the federal gvernment, and leading pharma-

A Hman Immne

The immne system is cmplex, adaptive, and remark-ably eective. Its defense mechanisms are specic t anindividals bdy and its tisses and cells. Research sing
animals has been limited in its ability t predict hw the h-
man bdy will react t pathgens and treatments.
VaxDesign Crpratin recently develped a mdel f
the hman immne system that can predict an individals
immne respnse t a drg r vaccine candidate. MIMIC, r
the Mdlar Immne In vitr Cnstrct, is ne f a grwing

Becase MIMIC is based n hman immne cells, it
shws hman respnses and can accrately predict nde-
sirable respnses. The system can als inclde a dnr base

Contact the FDA About Animal Testing
Every day, thsands f animals are experimented n and killedt create and test drgs, many f which will never help a sickhman being. Thats why PCRM and an internatinal calitin
f scientists, dctrs, and animal-prtectin rganizatins filed
the Mandatry Alternatives Petitin with the u.S. Fd and Drg
Administratin. The petitin asks the FDA t mandate the se f
validated nnanimal testing methds, when thse alternatives
exist, t create safer drgs fr American cnsmers.
The FDA is crrently reviewing the initiative. Dring this time, we
need y t cntact the FDA and rge the agency t mandate the
se f validated alternatives t animal tests. Please write t:
