SARS-CoV-2 and immunology: antibody developments
Discover the latest in SARS-CoV-2 antibody research as we cover three of the most recent developments in this article.
news
Novel DNA-based COVID-19 vaccines induce immune responses in mice
The DREP-S vaccine candidate was found to be the most potent of the two investigational vaccine prototypes, eliciting high titers of SARS-CoV-2 neutralising antibodies after a single dose.
news
New COVID-19 vaccine elicits strong protective immunity in mice and monkeys
A new MVA-based vaccine has shown success at inducing COVID-19 antibody and T-cell responses in pre-clinical studies.
news
COVID-19 vaccine candidate stimulates neutralising antibody production in vivo
The novel haptenised SARS-CoV-2 s-Spike vaccine, BVX-0320, stimulated mice to create neutralising antibodies that were able to reduce SARS-CoV-2 plaques in a neutralisation test.
news
New method for rapid development of vaccines for pre-clinical tests
Using synthetic chemistry, researchers have fused hydrophobic adjuvants with water-soluble proteins to create a new type of vaccine.
news
Artificial intelligence analyses how viruses evade the immune system
The natural language processing model trained using viral protein sequence data was able to predict promising targets for vaccines against HIV, influenza and coronaviruses.
news
Nanoparticle vaccine could protect against multiple coronaviruses
A new protein-based nanoparticle vaccine protected mice against a variety of coronaviruses, researchers have shown.
news
Inhaled vaccine induces strong immune response in animal models
Scientists report their phage-based inhaled vaccine delivery system elicited a robust antibody response in both mice and non-human primates.
news
Triggering an IgA response could increase COVID-19 vaccine efficacy
Two new studies suggest that SARS-CoV-2-specific IgA antibodies are more neutralising and therefore COVID-19 vaccines should encourage an IgA response.
news
COVID-19 vaccine candidate is 96.4 percent effective in mice, study shows
Administering two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine called BVX-0320 is effective in mouse models, a pre-clinical study has shown.
article
Tweaking synonymous sites for gene therapy and vaccines
Professor Laurence D Hurst explains why understanding the nucleotide mutations in viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, can have significant implications for vaccine design.
news
SARS-CoV-2 mutations do not increase transmissibility, research shows
Having analysed the SARS-CoV-2 genomes from over 46,723 patients, researchers have found no mutations that increase transmissibility.
news
COVID-19 vaccine tablet significantly reduces viral load in hamsters
Hamster challenge study results suggests the oral COVID-19 vaccine induces a robust immune response, protecting the animals from infection.
