Tetanus vaccine platform for embedding covid-19 vaccine

Abstract

A method of immunizing against COVID-19 by administering a recombinant SARS-CoV2 protein-based vaccine, developed by either embedding the epitopes/domains, or chemically attaching, to an already established vaccine candidate, e.g., a detoxified recombinant tetanus neurotoxin (DrTeNT). The developed vaccine will have three novel contributions compared to the present vaccine technology: a) providing a novel and very effective vaccine platform; b) priming with DrTeNT will prepare the host immune system for better response; and c) oral delivery of the vaccine candidate with a group of neurotoxin binding proteins (NAPs) from Clostridium sp. A Detoxified recombinant tetanus neurotoxin (DrTeNT) is prepared by mutation of the active site amino acid residues is an effective vaccine candidate, and is used for embedding epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 virus protein for vaccination against Covid-19. DrTeNT is a risk-free vaccine, free of formalin or any other chemical adjuvants.
