ImmunityBio’s hAd5 T-Cell COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate Shows Complete Protection of Airways in Non-Human Primates

The Pharma Data

The vaccine targeted both the inner nucleocapsid (N) and the outer spike (S) proteins of the virus to maximize the immune response. The goal of targeting both S and N was to both activate virus-specific T cells and generate anti-SARS-CoV-2-neutralizing antibodies. This press release features multimedia. Graphic: Business Wire).

Researchers find potential path to a broadly protective COVID-19 vaccine using T cells

The Pharma Data

If a virus is disease-causing, the right mutation can allow the virus to escape the immune response by changing the viral pieces the immune system uses to recognize the virus as a threat, pieces scientists call epitopes. The team obtained sequences from the newly circulating B.1.1.7 1.351 Beta, P1 Gamma, and B.1.617.2

Next Generation RNA Therapeutics and Vaccines – A Marvel of The Lifesciences Industry

Roots Analysis

Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA): Self amplifying RNA is an engineered form of RNA, combining the amplifying genome (native to certain viruses) to the therapeutic gene of interest. This allows generation of multiple copies of the gene of interest at the target owing to the amplification property of the template.
