The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in millions of cases and hundreds of thousands of deaths. Beyond there being no available antiviral therapy, stimulating protective immunity by vaccines is the best option for managing future infections. Development of a vaccine for a novel virus is a challenging effort that may take several years to accomplish. This mini-review summarizes the immunopathological responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection and discusses advances in the development of vaccines and immunotherapeutics for COVID-19.
由 SARS-CoV-2 引起的 COVID-19 大流行导致了数百万人感染和数十万人死亡。除了没有可用的抗病毒疗法外,通过疫苗刺激保护性免疫是管理未来感染的最佳选择。开发针对新型病毒的疫苗是一项具有挑战性的工作,可能需要数年时间才能完成。这篇迷你综述总结了 SARS-CoV-2 感染的免疫病理反应,并讨论了 COVID-19 疫苗和免疫疗法的进展。
