The natural language processing model trained using viral protein sequence data was able to predict promising targets for vaccines against HIV, influenza and coronaviruses.
A new protein-based nanoparticle vaccine protected mice against a variety of coronaviruses, researchers have shown.
Scientists report their phage-based inhaled vaccine delivery system elicited a robust antibody response in both mice and non-human primates.
Two new studies suggest that SARS-CoV-2-specific IgA antibodies are more neutralising and therefore COVID-19 vaccines should encourage an IgA response.
Administering two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine called BVX-0320 is effective in mouse models, a pre-clinical study has shown.
Professor Laurence D Hurst explains why understanding the nucleotide mutations in viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, can have significant implications for vaccine design.
Having analysed the SARS-CoV-2 genomes from over 46,723 patients, researchers have found no mutations that increase transmissibility.
Hamster challenge study results suggests the oral COVID-19 vaccine induces a robust immune response, protecting the animals from infection.
Researchers have found that the level of antibodies in the serum of SARS-CoV-2 patients correlated with disease severity.
A common SARS-CoV-2 mutation known as D614G should not impact on the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, a study has shown.
Researchers studied 180 convalescent COVID-19 patients to reveal T-cell epitopes that they say can be targeted by a vaccine.
Researchers have developed a novel vaccine using nucleotide untranslated regions that successfully protected mice from COVID-19.
A genetic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 sequences reveal the virus has mutated minimally since December 2019, suggesting only one vaccine is needed to combat COVID-19.
Researchers report that while the spike protein and RNA polymerase proteins have stabilised, other regions of the SARS-CoV-2 genome are becoming increasingly variable.
A potential COVID-19 vaccine, made from a modified vesicular stomatitis virus with the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, was shown to protect mice against the virus.
