NCIt definition : A vaccine composed of artificial antigen presenting cells (aAPCs) that have been lentivirally
transduced with synthetic minigenes that have been engineered based on conserved domains
of selected severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral structural
proteins and immune modulatory genes, with potential immunizing and anti-viral activities.
Upon subcutaneous administration of the Covid-19 aAPC vaccine, the viral proteins
and immune modulatory genes are expressed and may activate the immune system to elicit
a specific cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) response against the SARS-CoV-2 viral antigens encoded
by the minigenes.;
