E un vaccin diferit? Cine il produce? Eu am inteles ca tehnologia folosita in producerea vaccinului anti covid si cercetarile care s-au facut ar putea crea un vaccin anti cancer pe baza aceleiasi tehnologii. Mihaela cred ca poate explica mai bine, ea e experta .
Este vorba de Novavax.
Novavax's Covid vaccine uses different technology than Pfizer's and Moderna's shots, which rely on messenger RNA to turn human cells into factories that produce copies of the virus spike protein, inducing an immune response that fights Covid. The spike is the part of the virus that latches onto and invades human cells.
Novavax's shots, on the other hand, fully synthesize the virus spike outside the human body. The genetic code for the spike is put into a baculovirus that infects insect cells, which then produce copies of the spike that are purified and extracted. The spike copy, which can't replicate or cause Covid, is injected into people to induce an immune response against the virus.
The vaccine also uses an adjuvant that contains an extract purified from the bark of a tree in South America, to induce a broader immune response. The adjuvant has been used in licensed vaccines against malaria and shingles. Novavax's stand-alone Covid shots consist of 5 micrograms of the spike copy and 50 micrograms of the adjuvant.

Nu sunt experta in vaccinuri, ca eu lucrez cu analize medicale. Dar din ce am citit, e vorba de vaccinurile mRNA care ar folosi o tehnica ce ar putea aduce vaccinuri eficace împotriva cancerului. Dar nu prea m-am documentat.
