The Long Road to End Tuberculosis

Codon

Even after microbiologists discovered the bacterium that causes the illness in 1882, it wasn’t until the 1920s that researchers were able to develop a vaccine for TB. These breakthroughs have significantly curbed cases, with vaccination reducing the odds of death by 74 percent. tuberculosis , to develop the vaccine.

Second-Generation mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate, CV2CoV, Demonstrates Improved Immune Response and Protection in Preclinical Study

The Pharma Data

The study assessed cynomolgus macaques vaccinated with 12µg of either the first or second-generation vaccine candidate. During challenge with the original SARS-CoV-2 virus, animals vaccinated with CV2CoV were found to be better protected based on highly effective clearance of the virus in the lungs and nasal passages.

Not all neoantigens are created equal

Drug Target Review

These newly formed mutated proteins are called neoantigens and they are only present on tumour cells and are not found in normal, healthy cells. These neoantigens are identified by T cells of the immune system as foreign proteins and thus trigger an immune response.
