Deskripsi

Examples of effective live attenuated viral vaccines include the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, as well as the chickenpox vaccine. In this work, the authors engineer a live attenuated SARS-CoV-2 virus that demonstrates attenuation in numerous in vivo models, and protection in hamsters upon challenge.
