Short thread 👇🏼

“Vaccine-mediated protection against merbecovirus and sarbecovirus challenge in mice” biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We were interested in developing vaccination strategies against highly pathogenic human #coronaviruses with epidemic potential. Our previous studies, and those of others, defined the #RBD as a major target of neutralizing antibodies.
We therefore looked to #ferritin nanoparticles as a scaffold to display genetically divergent RBDs from both Group 2c merbecoviruses (#MERSCoV) and Group 2b sarbecoviruses (#SARSCoV , #SARSlike viruses, and #SARSCoV2). Our vaccines elicited broad binding antibodies in mice.
