Identifying a recurring pattern in broadly neutralizing antibodies that can target an epitope on SARS-CoV-2

Interesting research decrypts a recurring sequence in antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and identifies it to be a board neutralizing antibody that targets a conserved epitope on the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein.

Scientists develop and characterize variant-specific vaccines against SARS-CoV-2

In a recent study conducted at Yale University, USA, scientists have investigated the immunogenicity of mRNA-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine candidates encoding the spike proteins of different severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants. The findings reveal that the vaccines induce robust immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 variants. The study is currently available on the bioRxiv* preprint server.
