New study results from Austrian biotech AFFiRiS support continued development of its vaccine against the key Parkinson's protein alpha-synuclein. Today the company announced its "boost" follow-up study -- funded with a $1.04 million grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation -- showed that an additional dose is safe and can elicit antibodies against alpha-synuclein. AFFiRiS will present a poster on the study at the World Parkinson Congress in Portland, Oregon on Wednesday, September 21.

The whole area of immunotherapy for PD is new for me, so I did some reading to try to get a basic understanding. In the process I came across quite a good review article, which is also fairly recent (2015). It covers both active immunotherapy (injecting "manufactured" antigens) and passive immunotherapy (injecting "manufactured" antibodies). The active immunotherapy section includes a paragraph describing the work of AFFiRiS.
