APOBEC3G Splicing Defects in Nonhuman Primate Models Result in Disparate Viral Mutational Profiles Relative to Humans

Armando D. Mendez, Rachael Springman-Rodriguez, Ayub Bokani…·Diako Ebrahimi

This study identifies APOBEC3G splicing defects in nonhuman primates that lead to different viral mutation profiles compared to humans.

Single dose alum adjuvanted RBD protein vaccine provides protection against homologous challenge with SARS-CoV-2 Washington strain and heterologous rechallenge with Delta and Omicron BA.5 variants in K18 hACE2 mouse model

Rajesh Thippeshappa, Viraj Kulkarni, Varun Dwivedi…·Ricardo Carrion

A single dose of alum-adjuvanted RBD protein vaccine from the Wuhan strain protects against homologous SARS-CoV-2 WA strain challenge but not heterologous Delta and Omicron BA.5 rechallenge, unless mice survive the initial WA challenge.
