Information
iBio’s patented lichenase booster molecule (LickM) is a modified thermostable variant of the lichenase protein from the thermophilic bacterium Clostridium thermocellum. Studies have shown that iBio’s LicKM functions both as a carrier of immunogenic epitopes for presentation to antigen-presenting cells during vaccination and as an adjuvant enhancing immunity. LicKM fusion proteins have been shown to strengthen the initial quantitative immune response to the antigen and to increase the duration of the immune response compared with the antigen alone.
