Coronavirus vaccine first successfully tested in mice

The coronavirus vaccine was successfully tested on mice for the first time. Scientists have managed to produce sufficient

the amount of antibodies in the body of animals.

This was reported by experts from the Pittsburgh Universityuniversity. They already had experience creating a vaccine against the old coronavirus SARS-CoV. This virus is similar to the new one - SARS-CoV-2. This helped scientists develop a vaccine. It uses parts of the viral protein to create immunity in the human or animal body. Modern flu shots work on the same principle.
