Our Technology

Next generation synthetic vector based therapeutics the ONCoat™ vector engineering platform

ONCoat™

DevaCell is developing next-generation, engineered, synthetic vector based therapeutics based on the company’s ONCoat™ synthetic vector platform technology, enabling a pipeline of high impact therapeutics across three key segments: armed oncolytic immunotherapeutics, vaccines, and gene therapy/gene editing applications. 

ONCoat™ Synthetic Vector Process

Naked Adenovirus
Naked Adenovirus

Highly infectious
Highly immunogenic
High transduction efficiency

Organic Polymer Coating
Organic Polymer Coating

Acts as a foundation for sol-gel reaction
Synergistic role in endosomal lysis and escape

Inorganic Sol-gel Reaction
Inorganic Sol-gel Reaction

Masks the surface of the virus
Transitions through pH mediated degradation in late endosomal stage
Forms a foundation for high density, flexible functionalization

Surface Functionalization
Surface Functionalization

High density surface functionalization
Bi-functional PEG molecules
One side strongly attaches to ONCoat™ surface through specific linker chemistry
Solution facing side carries folate molecules enabling efficient cellular uptake

ONCoat™ Virus – Uptake Mechanism

ONCoat™ Virus Uptake Mechanism
KEY ADVANTAGES

Prevents Viral Neutralization:

Potential for enhanced immune system activation by preventing viral vector neutralization and increasing gene expression

Enables Repeat and Systemic Delivery:

Synthetic vector platform enables repeat administration and systemic delivery, without neutralizing antibody effects

Safety:

Improved safety with potential to reduce dose levels and toxicity

Scalable:

Low cost, scalable manufacturing process Strong intellectual property position with multiple worldwide patent applications covering the ONCoat™ platform technology, next generation therapeutics, vaccines, and gene therapy/gene editing applications, as well as methods, process and manufacturing IP
