Candidate coronavirus vaccines show promising results in early animal testing A candidate vaccine that could provide protection against the COVID-19 virus and other coronaviruses has shown promising results in early animal testing. The candidate coronavirus vaccines, created by Virginia Tech s University Distinguished Professor X.J. Meng and UVA Health s Professor Steven L. Zeichner, prevented pigs from being becoming ill with a pig coronavirus, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). The researchers have recently published their findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The candidate vaccine was developed using an innovative vaccine platform targeting a highly conserved genomic region of coronaviruses. The new vaccine platform utilizes a genome-reduced bacteria to express the coronavirus vaccine antigen on its surface. Such a vaccine platform can be manufactured with low cost in existing facilities around the world, which could meet the pandemic demand.
