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.
