Monovalent XBB.1.5 mRNA Vaccine Recalls a More Durable and Coordinated Antibody Response to SARS-CoV-2 Spike than the Bivalent WT/BA.5 mRNA Vaccine

Susanna E Barouch, Kate S Levine, Ross Blanc…·Ryan P. McNamara

This study compares antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein between monovalent XBB.1.5 and bivalent WT/BA.5 mRNA vaccines, finding the monovalent vaccine induces higher and more durable antibody responses.

Compartment-Specific Antibody Correlates of Protection to SARS-CoV-2 Omicron in Macaques

Xin Tong, Qixin Wang, Wonyeong Jung…·Ryan P. McNamara

This study identifies compartment-specific antibody correlates of protection against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron in macaques, showing neutralizing antibodies in serum and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis in bronchiolar lavage are strongest correlates.
