Immunogenicity and structures of a rationally designed prefusion MERS-CoV spike antigen

TL;DR: An engineering strategy for stabilization of soluble S proteins in the prefusion conformation is described, which results in greatly increased expression, conformational homogeneity, and elicitation of potent antibody responses, and an engineered immunogen is able to elicit high neutralizing antibody titers against MERS-CoV.
