Abstract excerpt
The continued antigenic evolution of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants has progressively eroded vaccine-elicited protective immunity, driving demand for next-generation candidates that confer broad-spectrum protection against phylogenetically divergent strains. Here we report the design and preclinical evaluation of SV, an mRNA vaccine encoding a heterodimeric receptor-binding domain (RBD) antigen. In this...
