Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) as a novel platform for development of COVID-19 vaccines$303Kvalue2021start2022end

The University of Guelph developed a vaccine to protect against the novel coronavirus disease that emerged in 2019 (COVID-19) using a safe vector known as avian orthoavulavirus-1 (AOaV-1) with a transgene encoding the full-length spike protein (FLS) from severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). In a hamster challenge model of COVID-19, intranasal vaccination with AOaV-1-FLS completely protected against disease, and SARS-CoV-2 could not be detected. This correlated with the induction of a SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses in the lungs. The next step requires that this va
