General information

MVC-COV1901 is a COVID-19 candidate protein subunit vaccine being developed by Medigen Vaccine Biologics Corporation/NIAID/Dynavax. It is based on a prefusion SARS-CoV-2 spike immunogen with CpG 1018 (a Th1-biasing synthetic toll-like receptor 9 agonist) and aluminum hydroxide serving as adjuvants (Kuo et al., 2020). Currently, this COVID-19 candidate vaccine is being evaluated in Phase I and Phase II clinical trials.

Protein factor Animal model Mixed substance
HEK293-hACE2 cells; Vero E6 cells; female BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice; Wuhan-Hu-1 strain SARS-CoV-2 spike protein pseudovirus; live SARS-CoV-2 (hCoV-19/Taiwan/CGMH-CGU-01/2020, GenBank accession MT192759)

Used with CpG 1018 (a Th1-biasing synthetic toll-like receptor 9 agonist) and aluminum hydroxide as adjuvants, the candidate vaccine induced high titer of neutralizing antibodies against pseudotyped virus or live SARS-CoV-2 in sera of immunized mice. No serious adverse reactions were noted.
