Coronavirus: 'Significant breakthrough' in race for vaccine made by UK scientists

4.完整新聞內文:
A vaccine may be close to being tested on animals and then humans, depending on the level of funding researchers get.

The scientist leading the UK's research into a coronavirus vaccine says his team have made a significant breakthrough by reducing a part of the normal development time from "two to three years to just 14 days".

Professor Robin Shattock, head of mucosal infection and immunity at Imperial College London, said he is now at the stage to start testing theaccinen animals as early as next week with human studies in the summer if enough funding is secured.

He told Sky News: "Conventional approaches usually take at least two to three years before you even get to the clinic. And we've gone from that sequence to generating a candidate in the laboratory in 14 days.

"And we will have it in animal models by the beginning of next week. We've short-tracked that part. The next phase will be to move that from early animal testing into the first human studies.

"And we think with adequate funding we could do that in a period of a few months."

Professor Shattock is part of a global effort to develop a vaccine that could potentially save hundreds or thousands of lives if this coronavirus outbreak develops into a full blown pandemic.

The vaccine will be too late for this current outbreak but it will be crucial if there is another one.

倫敦帝國學院科學家聲稱把疫苗研發期間從兩到三年縮短到14天，目前在動物試驗的初始階段。如果資金充足的話，可望在夏季進行人體試驗。
