In an update on developments around a potential vaccine for COVID-19 based on VSV, New York-based Humane Genomics is reporting a new success in the lab. By showing that the proposed vaccine is binding the ACE2 receptor, the lab has proven that the vaccine has the typical COVID-19-like spike protein on the outside. “This is super exciting”, CEO Peter Weijmarshausen says. “Because if the theory holds, that our immune system can be trained by a weak virus with the spike protein, then we are in good shape.”Innovation Origins
