EpiVacCorona vaccine formed a triple immune defense – Drugs

Russia’s EpiVacCorona coronavirus vaccine forms a triple immune defense, Russia’s Consumer Protection Agency Rospotrebnadzor said.

The data on the principles of action of the preparation are published on the official website of the ministry, reports BNR.

Mass production of the third Russian vaccine against COVID-19 has begun

Antibodies interfere with the interaction of the coronavirus protein S with the cellular receptor, thus forming the first protective line. In the second line, antibodies act that prevent fusion of the viral envelope with the cell membrane, preventing the penetration of SARS-CoV-2, indicated by Rospotrebnadzor.

However, if the pathogen enters the cell, a third line of defense is activated: the cells of the immune system are activated.
