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.
