As SARS-CoV-2 variants continue to arise and reduce the protection afforded by vaccination or prior infection, Creative Biolabs deploys subunit vaccine development solutions targeting more conserved regions of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein.
Recent research described that S2-targeted vaccination induced the production of antibodies in mice that could neutralize diverse alphacoronaviruses and betacoronaviruses. It indicates that subunit vaccine design for SARS-CoV-2 targeting more conserved regions of the spike protein may be a strategy to achieve pan-SARS-CoV-2 immunity. In order to help researchers get prepared as emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants are revealed to reduce existing vaccination effectiveness, Creative Biolabs deploys comprehensive recombinant S protein subunit vaccine development solutions for SARS-CoV-2 based on its innovative vaccine development platform.
“We’re at a tipping point for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, having figured out challenges like stability, but the industry is now looking for better vaccine targets to respond to emerging viral variants. Subunit vaccines only use a portion of the virus to activate the immune system and contain no microorganism components other than necessary antigens, so they reserve a low risk of adverse reactions. Meanwhile, the trimeric S protein is where the virus bind to the host cell surface receptor ACE2. So we think the trimeric S protein could be an attractive candidate for developing subunit vaccines.” According to a researcher at Creative Biolabs.
Creative Biolabs’ innovative subunit vaccine development platform is available today, and scientists working on novel COVID-19 vaccine discovery will benefit from:
- Faster Recombinant Subunit Vaccine Design. Scientists can design subunit vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 more efficiently using comprehensive solutions, including gene synthesis, vector construction, protein expression and purification, and immunoassay. The one-stop vaccine development platform enables protein expression on diverse systems, such as bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cells.
- Streamlined Collaboration. All procedures across the entire vaccine R&D lifecycle can now be entrusted to Creative Biolabs’ customized subunit vaccine development solutions. That said, scientists can avoid laborious processes, including multiple handoffs and back-and-forth team communication.
- High-quality Vaccine Evaluation & Data Insights. Neutralization capability is one of the most important evaluation indicators in the development of COVID-19 drugs and vaccines. Scientists can verify and improve SARS-CoV-2 vaccine design accuracy, including evaluating their neutralization capability utilizing Creative Biolabs’ SARS-CoV-2 neutralization assays. Creative Biolabs ensures high-level data integrity and data traceability so that scientists can make data-driven decisions more easily to optimize their vaccine development projects.
Besides revealing the full SARS-CoV-2 subunit vaccine development full solution, Creative Biolabs is also launching additional new products and services for SARS-CoV-2 variants, such as SARS-CoV-2 peptide discovery serving for new antiviral drug research.
