Keywords: SARS-CoV-2, immune biomarkers, reinfection, immune response, primates
Summary of Study: A specific set of SARS-CoV-2-specific humoral features, including spike RBD-specific IgG1 titers, nucleocapsid-specific IgG3 titers, and anti-spike RBD FcyR2A binding activity, were identified as robust biomarkers of reinfection that translate across species. When reinfection cannot be confirmed by viral sequence, changes in SARS-CoV-2 humoral immune responses may offer inexpensive, reliable, and effective measures to track reinfection.

Keywords: SARS-CoV-2, pan-sarbecovirus vaccines, STING agonist CF501, virus variants, immune response, mice, rabbits, primates.
Summary of Study: A pan-sarbecovirus vaccine was designed by using human IgG Fc-conjugated RBD from the original SARS-CoV-2 strain as the vaccine's immunogen and the STING agonist CF501 as the vaccine's adjuvant. This CF501/RBD-Fc vaccine candidate was able to induce extremely potent, durable, and broad-spectrum nAb and T cell responses, as well as protective immunity, suggesting its potential for development as a highly potent and durable pan-sarbecovirus vaccine.

Summary of Study: Administration of CCP had minimal effects on reducing virus replication in the respiratory tract, but it significantly reduced lung inflammation. These data, combined with the results of monoclonal antibody studies, emphasize the need to use products with high titers of neutralizing antibodies, and guide the future development of antibody-based therapies.
