In a ground breaking development, Italian scientists have made marked progress in developing vaccine for Corona Virus. The vaccines were tested on mice. The mice reportedly developed antibodies immediately after a single injection which prevents the virus from infecting human cells.

During the vaccine development experiments, it was seen that antibodies have developed in mice and they also blocked the viral action in the human body.

Upon testing the vaccine, they found it had neutralized the virus in human cells, a first in the world since the search for a coronavirus vaccine began, said Luigi Aurisicchio, Takis’ CEO, the company that is developing the vaccine.

He further hinted that the human testing might start in summer.

To succeed in this research, they need the support not only from their government but also from foreign organizations and collaborators who may wish to extend their hand to help speed up the process. Takis’ CEO declined to call the rapid move to develop vaccines a race and asked all companies to combine strengths and skills.

These tests were conducted at a hospital in Rome. The scientists tested their vaccine on mice. The mice developed antibodies immediately after a single injection, which prevented the virus from infecting human cells. Researchers selected two of the five candidates for the vaccine after studying them with the best results.
