The immune response of nano carbon-based photic-driving vaccines to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
Abstract
As the most severe novel infectious disease in this century, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) faces tremendous challenges due to the hysteresis of drugs and vaccine development. Elucidating the panoramic mechanism of coronavirus-host immune interaction is a strategy for disease surveillance, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and immunity assessment of COVID-19. A robust carbon nanotube (CNT)-based photic vaccine technology contributes to address the core scientific issues of these challenges. This perspective states the latest prevention and control strategy of CNT-based photic vaccine and its broad-spectrum resistance to high transmissible and pathogenic variants. Furthermore, this perspective covers the potential immune response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) under the CNT-based photic vaccine intervention and finally evaluates its efficacy and the underlying interactive mechanisms. In the future, findings of the highly efficient and conservative T cell epitopes depending on an intelligent chem-physical modulation would provide a promising basis for the development of next generation vaccines. Ideally, these next generation vaccines are prone to be with the function of dynamic allostery responding to the chem-physical changing and present the allosteric epitopes which are affinity to the viral variation.
