Boosting with Omicron-matched or historical mRNA vaccines increases neutralizing antibody responses and protection against B.1.1.529 infection in mice

TL;DR: In mice, boosting with mRNA- 1273 or mRNA-1273 enhances protection against B.1.1-CoV-2 infection with limited differences in efficacy measured, and the levels of inhibitory antibodies were higher, and viral burden and cytokines in the lung were slightly lower in mice given the Omicron-matched mRNA booster.

Fc-γR-dependent antibody effector functions are required for vaccine-mediated protection against antigen-shifted variants of SARS-CoV-2

TL;DR: In this paper , passive and active immunization studies in mice suggest that Fc-FcγR engagement and alveolar macrophages are required for vaccine-induced antibody-mediated protection against infection by antigenically changed SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Omicron strains.

Fcγ receptor-dependent antibody effector functions are required for vaccine protection against infection by antigenic variants of SARS-CoV-2

TL;DR: In this paper , passive and active immunization approaches in wild-type and Fc-gamma receptor (FcγR) KO mice were used to determine the requirement for Fc effector functions to protect against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
