Keywords: SARS-CoV-2, recombinant protein subunit vaccine and an inactivated vaccine, virus variants, primates
Summary of Study: Both vaccines evaluated in this study significantly reduced the viral load in the respiratory tract, alleviated pathological changes, and relieved lung inflammation in vaccinated macaques. The possible contribution of antibodies possessing neutralizing reactivity or cell-mediated cytotoxicity and immune memory to vaccine induced protection was also highlighted.

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.

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.
