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. The study showed this broad immune response led to the complete clearance of the virus in a matter of days after infection of previously-vaccinated primates.

Another dangerous consequence can occur when the therapeutic or vaccine introduces proteins that can activate an uncontrolled immune response. In the case of therapeutics, the aim is usually to avoid patients’ immune responses. Impurities can integrate into the final product at various points during production.
