25 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Live attenuated vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 activate all phases of host immunity resembling a natural infection and they block viral transmission more efficiently than existing vaccines in human use. In our prior work, we characterised an attenuated SARS-CoV-2 variant, designated d16, which harbours a D130A mutation in the NSP16 protein, inactivating its 2'-O-methyltransferase function. The d16...
