The drug is based on the genetic material of the most conservative epitopes of the virus, selected using a machine learning algorithm. An experiment on genetically modified mice showed that the vaccine was able to induce a strong immune response that successfully protected animals from severe illness and death.
Unlike most COVID-19 vaccines that use an S protein as a target, the latest development reportedly uses T lymphocytes to identify and destroy infected cells.
Experts urge the next phase of their scientific work to test the effectiveness of the universal vaccine, along with vaccines that trigger antibody production.
