IIT Madras Study Predicts Retained Efficacy of Spike Protein Vaccines Against Coronavirus Variants

IIT Madras

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Madras Study) researchers have shown that spike protein vaccines may be effective against multiple variants of Coronavirus (SARS COV-2). The results of the IIT Madras study suggest that the attack by selected variants Delta plus, Gamma, Zeta, Mink and Omicron may be dealt with by vaccine-induced T-cell responses despite the compromised neutralising antibodies responses.

IIT Madras Researchers are Studying The High Transmission Potential of Coronavirus

IIT Madras researchers are studying the high transmission rate and mortality of SARS-CoV-2, the scientific name for the coronavirus that causes Covid-19. Using computational tools, the team studied its two close variants — SARS-CoV and NL63. The team set out to understand how the spike proteins (which enables the coronavirus to penetrate human cells and […]
