a time of Monday, October 18, 2021 at 7:30 a.m. Eastern time has
been set for Khursheed Anwer, Ph.D., executive vice president and
chief science officer, to deliver his presentation at the
International Vaccines Congress. A link to Dr. Anwer’s
presentation, titled “Immunogenicity of DNA Vaccines based on
Multicistronic Vectors and Synthetic DNA Delivery Systems,” will be

About the PLACCINE
Platform
PLACCINE is Celsion’s proprietary plasmid and
DNA delivery technology and the subject of a provisional patent
application that covers a broad range of next-generation DNA
vaccines. An adaptation of the Company’s TheraPlas technology,
PLACCINE is a DNA vaccine technology platform characterized by a
single plasmid DNA with multiple coding regions. The plasmid vector
is designed to express multiple pathogen antigens along with a
potent immune modifier. It is delivered via a synthetic delivery
system and has the potential to be easily modified to create
vaccines against a multitude of infectious diseases,
addressing:
- Viral Mutations:
PLACCINE may offer broad-spectrum and mutational resistance
(variants) by targeting multiple antigens on a single plasmid
vector.
- Enhanced Efficacy:
The potent immune modifiers such as cytokines and chemokines may
improve humoral and cellular responses to viral antigens and can be
incorporated in the plasmid.
- Durable Efficacy:
PLACCINE delivers a DNA plasmid-based antigen that can result in
durable antigen exposure and a robust vaccine response to viral
antigens.
- Storage &
Distribution: PLACCINE allows for stability that is
compatible with manageable vaccine storage and distribution.
- Dosing &
Administration: PLACCINE is a synthetic delivery system
that should require a simple injection that does not require
viruses or special equipment to deliver its payload.

including the ability of the Company’s platform to provide broad
protection against COVID-19, and possible future mutations of
SARS-CoV-2 or other coronaviruses, the issuance of a patent to the
Company for use of its technology platform for treating or
preventing infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes
COVID-19, unforeseen changes in the course of research and
development activities and in clinical trials; the uncertainties of
and difficulties in analyzing interim clinical data, particularly
in small subgroups that are not statistically significant; FDA and
regulatory uncertainties and risks; the significant expense, time
and risk of failure of conducting clinical trials; the need for
Celsion to evaluate its future development plans; possible
acquisitions or licenses of other technologies, assets or
businesses; possible actions by customers, suppliers, competitors
