Nakano, a professor of neurosurgery and academic neurosurgeon at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Vito Coviello and Concettina La Motta, University of Pisa, Italy, are doing
further preclinical evaluation of the GA11 and its analogs.
Because of a lack of standardised and harmonised
preclinical studies, there is limited information we can so
far obtain from literature on the relative predictive value of different animal models and alternative methods for vaccine
evaluation.
