An Israel based biotech company announced that it has completed in silico analyses and believes that it has successfully identified a coronavirus vaccine candidate for the COVID-19 disease.
Vaxil Bio Ltd.’s vaccine candidate is based on unique and patent-protected signal peptide technology, utilizing Vaxil’s proprietary VaxHit™ bioinformatics platform.
Announced in a press release on February 14, 2020, this COVID-19 vaccine candidate’s design is based on successful in vivo experiments testing a tuberculosis signal peptide vaccine.
“We are very excited to have been able to isolate a preliminary (vaccine) candidate that might address the current and emerging need in such a short time,” said David Goren, Vaxil’s Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Goren continued to explain in this press release that “we have identified signal peptide combinations which we believe can be effective as a prophylactic vaccine against the current coronavirus and might also demonstrate therapeutic value in the future.”
