A trans-amplifying mRNA vaccine with consensus spike elicits broadly cross-neutralizing antibody response against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants

Abhinay Gontu, Sougat Misra, Shubhada K. Chothe…·Suresh Varma Kuchipudi

This study evaluates a trans-amplifying mRNA vaccine with a consensus spike protein, showing it elicits broad cross-neutralizing antibodies against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants with reduced antigen dose.
