French term or phrase: pistes vaccinales
"En 2006, [nom de société] coordonne la mise à disposition de lots d’essais cliniques pour le vaccin anti-Malaria MSP3, et réalise la synthèse du vaccin (96 AA) et pistes vaccinales MSP3 développée par l’Institut XXXX"

So the company manufactured both the MSP3 vaccine and the MSP3 "pistes vaccinales"... what does this latter term refer to?

Thanks in advance.

candidate vaccines
Explanation:
piste vaccinale means a new potential target for a vaccine (such as an antigen on a virus) but in this case I would use "candidate vaccines"
