Science continues to advance on its way to discover new weapons against the coronavirus.
A
vaccine
against the
coronavirus
based on nanoparticles and developed by scientists at the
Scripps Research
(USA) causes immune responses that suggest a very powerful protection.
This
experimental
vaccine
does not use
viruses
, messenger RNA, or single copies of the
SARS-CoV-2
spike protein
, and is instead made of proteins.

A new vaccine candidate shows great promise against coronavirus variants
A
vaccine
against the
coronavirus
based on nanoparticles and developed by scientists at the
Scripps Research
(USA) causes immune responses that suggest a very powerful and comprehensive protection against
SARS-CoV-2
in a preclinical study.
The results, published in the journal
Science Advances
, need to be confirmed in human trials, but they point to the possibility of achieving strong and long-lasting immunity against all major variants of
SARS-CoV-2
.
This experimental vaccine does not use viruses, messenger RNA, or single copies of the
SARS-CoV-2
spike protein
, and is instead made of proteins that self-assemble into virus-like nanoparticle structures.
The researchers found that, in mice, these nanoparticle structures elicit immune responses that powerfully neutralize the original Wuhan strain of
SARS-CoV-2
, and with the same potency all other major variants of interest, including the fast-spreading delta variant. .
The scientists also examined the cell roots of the immunity induced by their experimental vaccine, showing how their coronavirus-like particles - compared to the loose copies of the
SARS-CoV-2
spike protein
used by other vaccines - they had a much longer and stronger commitment to immune cells that give rise to long-term immunity.
