Wry impressive: “We measured the T-cell responses in 9 volunteers vaccinated with the mRNA vaccines under EUAs and compared them in the same assays at the same timepoints to T-cell responses induced in subjects participating in our clinical trial (N=26 paired samples, or N=7 in the sub-study). Our vaccine appeared to produce CD8+ T-cell responses of a higher magnitude,” said Dr. Sean Tucker, chief scientific officer at Vaxart. “CD8+ T-cells produced by our vaccine can recognize and are capable of destroying cells infected with the virus, including in the mucosa. If you are effective at killing the virus-infected cells in the upper respiratory tract, you may be more likely to recover quicker or have a very mild course of infection,”
