A SARS-CoV-2 peptide vaccine which elicits T-cell responses in mice but does not protect against infection or disease

V. K. Baxter, E. J. Anderson, S. A. Taft-Benz, K. S. Olsen, M. Sambade, K. M. Gentry, W. A. Beck, J. Garness, A. Woods, M. Fini, B. Carpenter, C. C. Smith, M. T. Heise, B. G. Vincent, A. Rubinsteyn

This study evaluates a SARS-CoV-2 peptide vaccine in mice, finding it induces T-cell responses but fails to prevent infection or disease.

Host kinase CSNK2 is a target for inhibition of pathogenic β-coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2

X. Yang, R. J. Dickmander, A. Bayati, S. A. Taft-Benz, J. L. Smith, C. I. Wells, E. A. Madden, J. W. Brown, E. M. Lenarcic, B. L. Yount, E. Chang, A. D. Axtman, R. S. Baric, M. T. Heise, P. S. McPherson, , T. M. Willson

The paper shows that inhibiting the kinase CSNK2 blocks replication of several beta-coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, by preventing viral entry.

Woodsmoke particulates alter expression of antiviral host response genes in human nasal epithelial cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 in a sex-dependent manner

S. A. Brocke, G. T. Billings, S. A. Taft-Benz, N. E. Alexis, M. T. Heise, I. Jaspers

This study shows that exposure to red oak woodsmoke particulates reduces antiviral gene expression in female human nasal epithelial cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 more than in males.
