COLUMBUS, Ohio - A new SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate, developed by giving a key protein s gene a ride into the body while encased in a measles vaccine, has been shown to produce a strong immune response and prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and lung disease in multiple animal studies.
Scientists attribute the vaccine candidate s effectiveness to strategic production of the antigen to stimulate immunity: using a specific snippet of the coronavirus spike protein gene, and inserting it into a sweet spot in the measles vaccine genome to boost activation, or expression, of the gene that makes the protein.
Even with several vaccines already on the market, researchers say this candidate may have advantages worth exploring - especially related to the measles vaccine s established safety, durability and high-efficacy profile.

New Delhi: He was speaking on the third in a series of webinars organised by CUTS International on “Improving India’s Competitiveness for Inclusive Economic Growth”.
“The problem boils down to the fact that we simply have not grown fast enough, as an economy. The underlying challenge is the ineffectiveness to translate broad uncontroversial objectives of competitiveness and growth into concrete and actionable policy programmes yielding results in a time-bound manner”,said Ahluwalia.
The webinar touched a wide spectrum of issues ranging from global to sub-national and macro to micro. On the issue of India not joining the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, there was a divided house with panellists putting forth their opinions. The pro-RCEP arguments were premised on the need to participate in the globalised economy in order to reap benefits of higher levels of global competition.
