Researchers have used the body’s own immune cells to develop a nano-vaccine against COVID-19, according to a new study conducted in mice.
Unlike currently used vaccines, which use synthetic materials or adenovirus to package and deliver antigens, the researchers from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi have taken a step forward towards next-generation vaccine for COVID-19, the study said.
According to the study, this naturally derived nano-vaccine developed by the researchers could have several advantages over currently approved vaccines.
It will minimise the chance of blood clotting, which was otherwise observed in vaccinated individuals, the study said.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, scientists from around the world have been studying the disease and its epidemiology to develop effective vaccines. The immune response elicited by this vaccine was tested in mice.
