Current Process
- Virus grown in embryonated chicken eggs
- Killed vaccine requires chemical inactivation
- Live attenuated vaccine requires extensive safety evaluation
- HPAI viruses (i.e. 1918, H5) kill the chicken embryo and prevent vaccine production
- Slow process when possible

VLP Technology
- VLP produced in cultured cells
- VLPs are non-infectious, inactivation is not required
- Less safety concerns during production
- VLP for HPAI viruses can be produced safely
- VLP production is more rapid
- TechnoVax production time is 3-4 months
