Two-component spike nanoparticle vaccine protects macaques from SARS-CoV-2 infection

TL;DR: A two-component protein-based nanoparticle vaccine that displays multiple copies of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein induces potent neutralizing antibody responses in mice, rabbits and cynomolgus macaques, resulting in strongly reduced viral infection and replication in upper and lower airways.

One dose of COVID-19 nanoparticle vaccine REVC-128 provides protection against SARS-CoV-2 challenge at two weeks post immunization

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the development of a nanoparticle vaccine candidate, REVC-128, in which multiple trimeric spike ectodomain subunits with glycine (G) at position 614 were multimerized onto nanoparticles, and demonstrate that a single dose of this vaccine induces potent serum neutralizing antibody titer at two weeks post immunization.
