Covid vaccine that creates T-cells ‘gives better immune response than current jabs’
The TelegraphA new vaccine designed to specifically create T-cells against Covid produces a better immune response than the alternatives already in use, according to trial data. "The induction of SARS-CoV-2 T-cell immunity is a central goal for vaccine development and of particular importance for patients with congenital or acquired B-cell deficiencies," the researchers wrote in a paper published in Nature. T-cell response ‘is actually more durable’ Phase one trial data from 36 people who received the experimental jab early this year showed the vaccine to be safe and capable of producing a robust immune response. The scientists said the vaccine's T-cell response "surpassed those detected after SARS-CoV-2 infection as well as after vaccination with approved vaccines".
