BERLIN - German biotech company CureVac said on Friday its potential vaccine against the coronavirus induced an immune response in pre-clinical animal studies.

CureVac said the potential vaccine, known as CVnCoV, produced neutralising antibodies and activated T-cells in hamsters and mice.

The vaccine, which is being tested in humans in early and mid-stage trials, also protected the lungs of hamsters when they were exposed to a live virus, the company said. "The pre-clinical data published today show that our COVID-19 vaccine candidate has the potential to induce an efficacious and balanced immune response, mimicking the natural immune defense and providing lung protection in a relevant challenge model,” said CureVac Chief Technology Officer Mariola Fotin-Mleczek.

Avigan trial in PH faces recruitment woes due to downtrend in COVID-19 casesThe clinical trial in the Philippines for anti-viral drug Avigan has hit another snag after the Department of Health reveals that hospitals are having trouble recruiting volunteer patients. Thanks to Persida It’s more of due to people realizing this pandemic is an overreaction. Don’t believe me? Read about the latest WHO infection fatality rates and just go outside and see how many people are already going out.
