Medicine:T-cell vaccine

From HandWiki

A T-cell vaccine is a vaccine designed to induce protective T-cells.[1]

T-cell vaccines are designed to induce cellular immunity. They are also referred to as cell-mediated immune (CMI) vaccines.[2]

It is thought that they can be more effective than conventional B-cell vaccines for protection from microbes that hide inside host cells, and viruses (such as HIV or influenza) that mutate rapidly.[citation needed]

T-cell vaccines underwent clinical trials for HIV/AIDS.[3]

(As of July 2012) none have been approved.[4]

As December 2020, The Pfizer-BioNTech Covid jab passed the FDA's emergency use authorization [5] and became the first FDA authorized T cell vaccine.[6][7]
