Chinese Covid-19 vaccine candidate shows promise in animal tests

Another potential Covid-19 vaccine developed by Chinese researchers has shown potential in animal tests. The experimental messenger RNA (mRNA)-based vaccine  shows that it triggers an immune response against the novel coronavirus, according to a peer-reviewed study. 

Results of trials of ARCoV vaccine in mice and monkeys, published in the journal Cell, show both single and two-dose inoculations induced strong antibody and T-cell responses against several SARS-CoV-2 virus strains.
