Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The impact of spike protein mutations on T cell responses, particularly in SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants, remains incompletely elucidated. METHODS: In this study, DNA vaccines encoding the spike protein of both the ancestral virus and Omicron variants were developed and administered in conjunction with a Th1-type adjuvant to BALB/c mice. Cross-reactive T cell responses to the spike proteins were...
