Swedish researchers at the University of Umeå have found that “vector vaccines” such as “Johnson and Johnson” and “Sputnik-V” are more effective than any other coronavirus vaccine. In addition, the Russian vaccine is the most effective.
Recently, researchers at the University of Umeå, along with researchers from Germany and the Netherlands, published a paper in the scientific journal PNAS, which shows that some vaccines enter the cell differently than previously thought, meaning they can work on better than other vaccines.
“It was previously thought that all vaccines in which adenovirus is used as a carrier use protein S as a” key “to enter cells. But when we tried to repeat this in the lab, we couldn’t prove it. Then we started studying another protein, the so-called hexone, and we saw that this protein acts as a “key” for the cell.
Because adenovirus contains only twelve S proteins, but as many as 240 hexons, it is clear that hexon protein vaccines as “keys” are more effective than vaccines that use protein S. We have not yet proven this. that 240-key vaccines are more effective than 12-key vaccines, ”explained Niklas Arnberg, a professor of virology at Umeå University.
Does this mean that the Johnson and Johnson and Sputnik-V vaccines are the most effective?
You receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine with only one dose and the Russian vaccine with two, which means that Sputnik-V provides better protection than Johnson & Johnson after being vaccinated with two doses. “
Niklas Arnberg’s research team uses the new, Nobel Prize-winning technology to edit the CRISPR-Cas9 genome in their research. The discovery is believed to have significant implications for the fight against future pandemics.
