NCIt definition : A plant-derived virus-like particle (VLP) mimicking severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus
2 (SARS-CoV-2), with potential immunizing activity against SARS-CoV-2. Upon intramuscular
administration of the coronavirus-like particle COVID-19 vaccine, the VLPs are taken
up by antigen-presenting cells and present SARS-CoV-2 antigens to the immune system.
This induces both a cell-mediated and an antibody-based immune response against SARS-CoV-2.
The plant-based VLPs are non-infectious and replication-deficient versions of SARS-CoV-2
and mimic the shape and dimensions of the virus.;
