The Targeting Unmutatable Targets Bandwagon

Excerpt

"So when laboratory tests showed that the 501Y.V2 variant identified in South Africa (also called B.1.351) is partially resistant to antibodies raised against previous coronavirus variants, researchers wondered whether T cells could be less vulnerable to its mutations.

Early results suggest that this might be the case. In a preprint published on 9 February, researchers found that most T-cell responses to coronavirus vaccination or previous infection do not target regions that were mutated in two recently discovered variants, including 501Y.V22. Sette says that his group also has preliminary evidence that the vast majority of T-cell responses are unlikely to be affected by the mutations."


No Vaxil mention but Gritstone is pointed out. With a ~$700 million valuation the do seem to have a bit more . . . traction than Vaxil.

Maybe if clinical trials on the horizon for Vaxil that'll help close the valuation gap.
