ABOUT US

Kermode is an American privately-held, biotechnology company focused on solving the challenges of animal health. Our immediate focus is on livestock viruses such as African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) and Swine Flu (SIV or S-OIV). Our current pipeline includes 2 products and is focused on both therapeutic antibodies and immune-stimulating vaccine proteins against ASFV:

KT100
ASFV vaccine

KT101
therapeutic antibody

ABOUT AFRICAN SWINE FEVER VIRUS

The spread ASFV has devastated the commercial swine industries in Europe, Russia, and most recently China, resulting in billions of lost dollars and the loss of a major nutritional staple. It is a matter of time before ASFV infiltrates North American livestock.

ASFV is a highly contagious viral pathogen that swiftly infects swine livestock.

Once the swine are infected, the virus will kill the animal within 24 to 48 hours.

The mortality rate for ASFV-infected animals is 100%.

OUR APPROACH

We are utilizing computational approaches to define vulnerable targets in viral structure, genetic composition and replication cycles. Once these targets are defined, we deploy state-of-the-art antibody discovery platforms to isolate therapeutic candidates with the highest potential to protect livestock against viral infections. This approach will allow Kermode to identify strong antibody therapeutics and construct vaccine candidates with long-lasting in vivo responses.
