SARS-CoV-2 protein subunit vaccine (NVX-CoV2373)

Active ingredient description

SARS-CoV-2 protein subunit vaccine (NVX-CoV2373) is composed of purified full-length SARS-CoV-2 recombinant spike (S) protein that is stabilised in its prefusion conformation. The addition of the saponin-based Matrix-M adjuvant facilitates activation of the cells of the innate immune system, which enhances the magnitude of the S protein-specific immune response. The two vaccine components elicit B- and T-cell immune responses to the S protein, including neutralising antibodies, which may contribute to protection against COVID-19.
