Preferred Label : SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Plasmid DNA Vaccine CORVax;
NCIt synonyms : SARS-CoV-2 S-protein DNA Vaccine CORVax; SARS-CoV-2 S-protein Plasmid DNA Vaccine CORVax;
NCIt definition : A vaccine consisting of DNA plasmids encoding the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus
2 (SARS-CoV-2) surface antigen spike (S) protein, with potential immunizing activity
against SARS-CoV-2. Upon administration of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein plasmid DNA vaccine
CORVax and following electroporation (EP), the DNA plasmids enter the cells and the
cells produce the SARS-CoV-2 S protein. This may activate both humoral and cellular
immune responses which may result in protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection. S protein,
usually found on the surface of SARS-CoV-2, plays an essential role in the infection
pathway of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.;
