Adaptive immunity against SARS-CoV-2 is persistent and robust in COVID-convalescent children

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection incites adaptive cellular immune responses. In many SARS-CoV-2 studies, peripheral blood is analyzed to study the immune responses. Now, a new study under consideration at the Nature Portfolio Journal analyzes the peripheral blood, tonsils, and adenoids of children to understand local and systemic immune responses to SARS-CoV-2.

A novel mRNA vaccine encoding delta RBD induces high neutralizing antibody titers

A team of international scientists has developed an mRNA-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine encoding the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) delta variant. The vaccine candidate has shown high efficacy in inducing neutralizing antibodies and protecting against delta infection in mice. The study is currently available on the bioRxiv* preprint server.
