In what seems to be a groundbreaking scientific development scientists at Migal Galilee Research Institute from Israel have found antibodies that neutralizes the corona virus.

Migvax Corp. an affiliate of The Migal Galilee Research Institute in Kiryat Shmona, MigVax is developing a new oral subunit human vaccine against Covid-19 by using the methods from its parent firm.

The MigVax approach utilizes a chimeric protein that presents the viral proteins to the immune system via the oropharynx.

This method, based on the IBV vaccine, generates three kinds of immunological response:
1.) mucosal immunity- IgA
2.) Blood-based immunity-IgG
3.) Cell-mediated immunity.
The MigVax vaccine is based on a vaccine developed for Infectious Bronchitis Virus which is a coronavirus that infects chickens.​

The company also has partnered with US pharma giant Moderna to mass distribute the vaccine around that globe.

Israel's ministry of defense made a series of tweets earlier on this groundbreaking research :
