There are multiple types of coronaviruses, but a research team from Cambridge University and other institutions has developed a vaccine that can be used against previously unknown coronaviruses. The team administered the nanocage vaccine to mice and infected them with SARS-CoV-1,the coronavirus that caused the SARS outbreak. 'The development of the nanocage vaccine is a step towards our larger goal of developing a vaccine before a pandemic starts. The research team also revealed that the next step will be to test the nanocage vaccine in humans. If the test results prove that the nanocage vaccine is safe, it could be used asagainst COVID-19.
