Northwestern Medicine scientists have shown for the first time that coronavirus vaccines and prior coronavirus infections can provide broad immunity against other, similar coronaviruses. The findings build a rationale for universal coronavirus vaccines that could prove useful in the face of future epidemics.

FDA ACCEPTS FOR PRIORITY REVIEW PFIZER’S APPLICATION FOR TICOVAC (TICK-BORNE ENCEPHALITIS VACCINE). If approved, the vaccine may help reduce the risk of TBE for people traveling to endemic areas, potentially including military personnel serving in these locations. 1,2 If approved, TicoVac would be the first vaccine in the U.S.

He uses these fundamental insights to guide the design of vaccines and therapeutics, including promising monoclonal antibodies. These days, the Veesler lab has been hard at work to understand SARS-CoV-2 and the human immune response to the virus. Despite carrying all of these viruses, bats rarely show symptoms of being sick.

That information led, thanks to vaccine shelved from the first SARS circa 2003, to the rapid development and deployment of mRNA vaccines against the new infectious disease. The fear is that a variant of the deadly virus might emerge that infects people, and, worst-case-scenario, passes from person to person.

While reading all the sequences present in a sample, researchers want to find any that are out of place, such as those that belong to a never-before-seen virus. In 2003, the DHS launched the BioWatch program after five people died and twenty fell ill from touching envelopes laced with anthrax spores.
