ImmunoPrecise (NASDAQ:IPA), a leader in AI-driven biotherapeutics, provides a significant update following its June 5, 2025, press release ImmunoPrecise Announces AI-Driven Breakthrough in Universal Dengue Vaccine Discovery. This new release details the downstream validation of the epitope identified in that initial announcement—demonstrating that the computationally selected vaccine target is not only highly conserved across all four dengue virus types but also safe, immunologically active, and structurally stable.

"This is a major step forward," said Dr. Jennifer Bath, CEO of ImmunoPrecise. "Our AI technology not only found a new target for a universal dengue vaccine, but we've now shown it's safe and can trigger the right immune response. With this validation, we're excited to move ahead and advance this candidate toward the next stages of vaccine development."

Following the recent discovery of a unique "Achilles' heel" shared by all four types of dengue virus, ImmunoPrecise has confirmed—using its patented HYFT technology and LENSai Immunogenicity Screener—that the selected target not only remains conserved but also triggers a strong and specific immune response. This breakthrough may pave the way for a safer, more universal dengue vaccine.

The new target was discovered using the Company's proprietary LENSai platform. "Our ability to move from computational discovery to AI-guided immunogenicity validation is unique to our methodology and drug development," commented Dr. Jennifer Bath, ImmunoPrecise CEO. "Further, it ensures that our candidates are both theoretically promising and primed for real-world immune protection, a critical requirement for any viable vaccine candidate."
