A team of scientists at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has recently made an important discovery in identifying a set of potential vaccine targets for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, providing crucial leads for guiding experimental efforts toward the vaccine development against the novel pneumonia (COVID-19) caused by the virus.
Like SARS-CoV, which caused the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) outbreak in 2003, SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the same Betacoronavirus genus.
