Immunization With a RBD/Nucleocapsid Fusion Protein Promotes Neutralizing Antibody-Independent Resistance to the Wild-Type and the Delta Variant of SARS-CoV-2
2022-02-18
Abstract excerpt
We generated a chimeric protein that comprises the receptor binding domain (RBD) from Spike (S) and the nucleocapsid (N) antigens (SpiN) from SARS-CoV-2 . Both vaccinated and COVID-19 convalescent individuals presented memory CD4<sup>+</sup> T and CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell responses to SpiN. In rodents, SpiN elicited a strong IFN -γ response by T cells and high levels of antibodies to the inactivated virus, but no n...
