Changing the makeup of a specific protein has the potential to neutralize the virus. A University at Buffalo-led research team has discovered a technique that…
Two separate studies have documented the persistence of antibodies that target SARS-CoV-2 in hundreds of patients with COVID-19 at least 3 months after symptom onset….
None of the current trials are designed to detect a reduction in any serious outcome such as hospitalizations, intensive care use, or deaths. Vaccines are…
One of the most significant questions about the novel coronavirus is whether people who are infected are immune from reinfection and, if so, for how…
With computer models and lab experiments, researchers are working on a strategy for vaccines that could protect against any influenza virus. Each year, the flu…
Vaccines currently being developed for Covid-19 should not be affected by recent mutations in the virus, according to a new study involving a University of…
New platform technology uses red blood cells to generate targeted immune responses in mice. Red blood cells do more than shuttle oxygen from our lungs…
Scientists have found an ingredient that makes a vaccine more effective through an approach more often seen in materials science — testing molecules that self-assemble…
Well-intentioned “citizen scientists” developing homemade COVID-19 vaccines may believe they’re inoculating themselves against the ongoing pandemic, but the practice of self-experimentation with do-it-yourself medical innovations…
But many experts surveyed also believe vaccine development will take place at an accelerated rate. Experts working in the field of vaccine development tend to…
COVID-19 may not influence parents’ beliefs about the flu vaccine, with just 1/3 believing it’s more important for children to get vaccinated this year. The…
Researchers at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin have identified highly effective antibodies against the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and are…
Partnership to test SARS-CoV2 DNA vaccine in healthy Australians. The University of Sydney is testing a novel DNA-based COVID-19 vaccine with the goal of being…
A fourth Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating an investigational vaccine for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has begun enrolling adult volunteers. The trial is designed to…
Vaccines have curtailed the spread of several infectious diseases, such as smallpox, polio and measles. However, vaccines against some diseases, including HIV-1, influenza and malaria,…
A comprehensive analysis of antibody responses in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients could inform the development of an effective vaccine, according to a study published…
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientists have isolated the smallest biological molecule to date that completely and specifically neutralizes the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is…
Two recent studies were unable to rule out that H1N1 (“swine flu”) vaccination (“Pandemrix”) and seasonal influenza vaccination given to pregnant women might be associated…
