TLDR
At 35 days, NVX-CoV2373 appeared to be safe, and it elicited immune responses that exceeded levels in Covid-19 convalescent serum, and the addition of adjuvant resulted in enhanced immune responses, was antigen dose–sparing, and induced a T helper 1 (Th1) response.
Abstract
Background NVX-CoV2373 is a recombinant severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (rSARS-CoV-2) nanoparticle vaccine composed of trimeric full-length SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoproteins a...

Neutralizing antibody levels are highly predictive of immune protection from symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection.

TL;DR: It is shown that neutralization level is highly predictive of immune protection, and an evidence-based model of SARS-CoV-2 immune protection that will assist in developing vaccine strategies to control the future trajectory of the pandemic is provided.

SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in development.

TL;DR: The development of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 is reviewed, including an overview of the development process, the different types of vaccine candidate, and data from animal studies as well as phase I and II clinical trials in humans.

Adaptive immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19.

TL;DR: In this article, a picture has begun to emerge that reveals that CD4+ T cells, CD8+ Tcells, and neutralizing antibodies all contribute to control SARS-CoV-2 in both non-hospitalized and hospitalized cases of COVID-19.

Cryo-EM structure of the 2019-nCoV spike in the prefusion conformation.

TL;DR: The authors show that this protein binds at least 10 times more tightly than the corresponding spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)–CoV to their common host cell receptor, and test several published SARS-CoV RBD-specific monoclonal antibodies found that they do not have appreciable binding to 2019-nCoV S, suggesting that antibody cross-reactivity may be limited between the two RBDs.

WHO Declares COVID-19 a Pandemic.

TL;DR: The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, noted that over the past 2 weeks, the number of cases outside China increased 13-fold and theNumber of countries with cases increased threefold, and further increases are expected.

The spike protein of SARS-CoV — a target for vaccine and therapeutic development

TL;DR: Recent advances in the development of vaccines and therapeutics based on the S protein are highlighted, which plays key parts in the induction of neutralizing-antibody and T-cell responses, as well as protective immunity, during infection with SARS-CoV.

Characterization of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of 2019 novel coronavirus: implication for development of RBD protein as a viral attachment inhibitor and vaccine.

TL;DR: The receptor-binding domain (RBD) in SARS-CoV-2 S protein was identified and it was found that the RBD protein bound strongly to human and bat angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors and could block the binding and, hence, attachment of SARs-Cov-2 RBD and SARS -CoV RBD to ACE2-expressing cells, thus inhibiting their infection to host cells.
