A new paper in Biology Methods and Protocols, published by Oxford University Press, indicates that researchers studying SARS-CoV-2 may have developed new methods to administer vaccines orally, which would be both easier to administer and more effective at combatting illnesses.

The scientists tested the vaccine pill on monkeys. They showed substantial effectiveness in producing antibodies against COVID-19 without any visible side effects.

THURSDAY, Sept. 14, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- An oral vaccine for COVID-19 appears to produce the sort of immune response that could quickly stamp out a developing infection, according to

A new paper in Biology Methods and Protocols indicates that researchers studying SARS-CoV-2 may have developed new methods to administer vaccines orally, which would be both easier to administer and more effective at combatting illnesses.

A new paper in the journal Biology Methods and Protocols, published Wednesday by Oxford University Press, suggests that researchers in Japan have developed a way to administer the COVID-19 vaccine orally.

Researchers in Japan have developed a Covid vaccine in pill form which, when given to monkeys, saw them produce the necessary antibodies to protect against Covid without visible side effects.

While researchers have only tested their vaccine in preclinical trials on monkeys, easier-to-deliver oral vaccines could soon be given to human patients.

Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies (Terumo BCT), a medical technology company, announced the publication of a peer-reviewed manuscript regarding a new protocol for automated expansion of HEK293T cells that are used to produce the viral vectors powering cell and gene therapies. The accepted manuscript, published ...

A new paper in Biology Methods & Protocols shows it may be possible to design vaccines that will induce a stronger immune response to infecting pathogens, such as the virus causing COVID-19. In this study, the authors proposed and tested a new bioinformatic approach and tool that allows researchers to select parts of proteins that will elicit a strong immune response. Vaccines developed based on this approach would provide better protection from diseases.
