Potent and persistent antibody responses against the receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV spike protein in recovered patients
4 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV not only mediates receptor-binding but also induces neutralizing antibodies. We previously identified the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of S protein as a major target of neutralizing antibodies in animal models and thus proposed a RBD-based vaccine. However, the antigenicity and immunogenicity of RBD in humans need to be characterized. RESULTS: Two panels of serum...
