Abstract

Propose to evaluate the efficacy of self-amplifying mRNA SAM technology to develop a potent vaccine against the SARSCoV-2. Our approach involves production of vaccine antigen inside the host by delivering a self-amplifying mRNA that encodes the antigen of interest. S protein of SARS-CoV-2 is being used as the vaccine antigen.
