In December 2007, Maxygen licensed its proprietary dengue virus antigen technology to sanofi pasteur, the vaccines division of the sanofi-aventis Group. Under the terms of the agreement, Maxygen transferred to sanofi pasteur a portfolio of preclinical dengue antigens for development and worldwide commercialization of a second generation vaccine. In addition to royalties, total event payments to Maxygen, including an upfront fee, could total $24.5 million.
