Immuno Technologies
Private Company
Funding information not available
Overview
Immuno Technologies is a privately held, preclinical biotech company advancing a novel intranasal, viral-vector based vaccine for Lyme disease, branded as LymeMist™, alongside diagnostic assays. The company operates on a capital-efficient model, leveraging SBIR grant funding to de-risk its programs up to the pre-IND stage before seeking strategic licensing partnerships for commercialization. With an estimated 476,000 annual cases in the U.S., the lack of a marketed human Lyme disease vaccine presents a significant unmet medical need and commercial opportunity for ITi's lead candidate.
Technology Platform
Parainfluenza 5 (PIV5) viral vector platform for intranasal vaccine delivery, coupled with modified antigen design (e.g., OspA for Lyme). Additional platform for point-of-care diagnostic assay development.

Competitive Landscape
The Lyme vaccine space is competitive, with Pfizer/Valneva's VLA15 (injectable, Phase 3) as the most advanced candidate, though facing delays. Other biotechs are also pursuing OspA-based and other vaccine strategies. The diagnostic market has several established players, though room exists for improved point-of-care tests.
