ImmunityBio’s hAd5 T-Cell COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate Shows Complete Protection of Airways in Non-Human Primates

The Pharma Data

The vaccine targeted both the inner nucleocapsid (N) and the outer spike (S) proteins of the virus to maximize the immune response. ImmunityBio’s platform is based on the foundation of three separate modalities: antibody cytokine fusion proteins, synthetic immunomodulators, and second-generation human adenovirus (hAd5) vaccine technologies.
