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.

Mutations leading to omicron variant did not enable virus to fully escape immune system

The Pharma Data

People who gained immunity – either through vaccination or exposure – against the original strain of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, also are likely to have some protection against the pathogen’s omicron variant. The samples were stored after the researchers measured the T cell response. population.

The Vaccine Development Landscape and Its Associated Challenges

DrugBank

These epitopes serve as the primary targets for the immune system, triggering a response that protects against future infection. For instance, the influenza virus is notorious for its ability to undergo antigenic drift, accumulating mutations in its surface proteins that can render existing vaccines less effective.

Is Recent Gene Therapy Setback for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Déjà vu All Over Again?

PLOS: DNA Science

Can they deliver healing genes without triggering an overactive immune response? The details are disturbingly reminiscent of the famous case of Jesse Gelsinger , who died from a ferocious immune response to experimental gene therapy in September 1999. But a more recent case was an infant who received the $2.25
