Subjects must fulfill all of the following criteria for entry into the study.
1. Volunteer to participate in the clinical trial and provide signed informed consent.
2. Cohorts 1 to 8: Male, aged 18 to 45 years.
3. Subjects with a female spouse/partner of childbearing potential must agree to use effective birth control starting at screening and continuing throughout the clinical study period and for a period of up to 6 months after study completion.
4. Cohorts 4 to 8: previous immunisation with tetanus toxoid (TT) but not within 6 months prior to the screening visit as reported by the volunteer.
5. Cohorts 4 to 8: anti-TT immunoglobulin G (IgG) response > 0.1 IU/mL and * 50 IU/mL at screening.
1. Experiencing a clinically significant, chronic or acute infection requiring treatment at screening or prior to first IMP administration.
2. A body weight of * 60.0 kg or * 120.0 kg.
3. A body mass index (BMI) * 18.0 or * 30.0 kg.
4. History of disease of the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, kidney, liver, digestive system, respiratory system or metabolic/endocrine system or suffered from other disease that in the opinion of the PI (or medically qualified designee) may make participation unsafe for the subject or interfere with trial evaluations or otherwise considered clinically significant.
5. History of immunological abnormality (e.g., immune suppression, severe allergy or anaphylaxis) that in the opinion of the PI (or medically qualified designee) may make participation unsafe for the subject or interfere with trial evaluations or otherwise considered clinically significant.
6. History of malignancy, or known current malignancy.
7. Leukocyte absolute value < 3.50 × 109/L or > 9.50 × 109/L, neutrophil absolute value < 1.8 × 109/L, platelet counts < 100 × 109/L, haemoglobin < 12.0 g/dL.
8. Taken part in other clinical trials within 3 months of screening for this study or > four trials in the year preceding the first IMP administration.
9. Donated or lost more than 500 mL of blood or plasma within 3 months of screening.
10. Cohorts 1 to 8: prescription drug taken within 2 weeks of screening or likely to be taken during the trial.
11. Live immunisation within 3 months of screening or plans to receive such immunisation during the clinical trial or for a period of 6 months after the end of the trial.
12. Taking or likely to take over-the-counter (OTC) medication, including herbal medicines, that in the opinion of the PI (or medically qualified designee) may make participation unsafe for the subject or interfere with trial evaluations.
13. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), Hepatitis C antibody (HCV-Ab), or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) positive.
14. History of or current drug or substance abuse considered significant by the PI (or medically qualified designee) including a positive urine drug screen.
15. Current smoker and/or regular user of other nicotine-containing products (e.g., patches).
16. Average consumption of more than 14 units of alcohol/week.
17. Clinically significant abnormal screening values in clinical (electrocardiogram (ECG), vital signs, physical examination) and laboratory tests in the opinion of the PI (or medically qualified designee).
18. Cannot communicate adequately or cannot commit to full participation in all trial procedures.
19. For Cohorts 4 to 8:
a. Confirmed previous exposure to immunocyanins, such as keyhole limpet haemocyanin (KLH);
b. Known allergy to thiomersal or other components of Tetanus vaccine or Immucothel®;
c. History of schistosomiasis.
20. Any observation that, in the opinion of the PI (or medically qualified designee) makes the subject unsuitable for participation in this study.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The safety and tolerability of KY1005 will be evaluated by<br /><br>measurement/recording of:<br /><br>- Adverse events (AEs);<br /><br>- Vital signs;<br /><br>- Laboratory safety tests;<br /><br>- ECGs;<br /><br>- Changes in physical examination;<br /><br>- Changes in anti-viral antibody levels and viral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA);<br /><br>- Changes in acute cytokine levels (selected cohorts).</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>- Serum concentrations of KY1005;<br /><br>- Serum anti-KY1005 antibody titres;<br /><br>- Serum anti-Immucothel and anti-TT antibody titers;<br /><br>- Immunophenotyping (analysis of cell subsets) in whole blood and evaluation of<br /><br>OX40L and/or OX40 expression on specific cell subsets where evaluable;<br /><br>- A blood sample taken before the first dose of study drug will be processed<br /><br>and stored for possible future sequencing for single nucleotide polymorphisms<br /><br>and/or deletions/duplications;<br /><br>- Any excess serum samples after planned analyses are complete will be retained<br /><br>for future evaluation of target related PD markers. </p><br>
