How did pharma develop a vaccine so quickly?

World of DTC Marketing

First, a novel approach was used that didn’t require traditional vaccine production in cell cultures or eggs. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines copied RNA sequence from the virus genome and found a way to manufacture it at scale with high-level processes and quality control. 1455NO-HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS_VACCINES_PFIZER_O_.

Gene Therapy and Pharmacokinetics

Camargo

It is a comprehensive term which encompasses a large variety of therapy products including viral and bacterial vectors, plasmid DNA, human gene editing technology, and patient-specific cellular gene therapy. For example, it is beneficial to administer RNA treatments for some lung diseases directly to the disease site through inhalation.

HDT Bio receives Emergency Use Approval for Covid-19 vaccine in India

Pharmaceutical Technology

The vaccine leverages self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), which can replicate itself after administration and could be effective at very low doses. This technology can stimulate an immune response with a dose up to 20 times lower than current vaccines, which enhances safety, lowers costs, and increases production speed. .

Second-Generation mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate, CV2CoV, Demonstrates Improved Immune Response and Protection in Preclinical Study

The Pharma Data

Better activation of innate and adaptive immune responses was achieved with CV2CoV, resulting in faster response onset, higher titers of antibodies, and stronger memory B and T cell activation as compared to the first-generation candidate, CVnCoV. “In Induction of innate immunity was investigated via specific cytokine markers.

COVID-19 neutralising antibody tests – an integrated approach

pharmaphorum

PCR tests screen for the presence of viral RNA from a swab, detecting whether an individual is currently infected. Because antibody tests detect neutralising antibodies rather than monitoring for an active infection, a positive result can prove that the immune system has developed the capacity to defeat a future infection.
