Veterinary COVID-19 Vaccine results
On July 7, 2021, Applied DNA Sciences Inc and its program development partner, Evvivax S.R.L. announced results from an in vitro neutralization study of sera evaluating the company’s COVID-19 vaccine in felines.
The study showed neutralizing antibody titers against B.1.1.7 were not significantly impacted while neutralizing antibody titers against P1 and B.1.526 were reduced as expected and consistent with other CDC-reported data on vaccine-induced antibody neutralization against these variants. The Company believes these expected reductions in viral neutralization titers against P1 and B.1.526 are unlikely to lead to a significant reduction in the effectiveness of the vaccine candidate against these variants in domestic felines and other veterinary applications, such as farmed mink.
