Optimized intramuscular immunization with VSV-vectored spike protein triggers a superior immune response to SARS-CoV-2

Abstract Immunization with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-vectored COVID-19 vaccine candidates expressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in place of the VSV glycoprotein relies implicitly on expression of the ACE2 receptor at the muscular injection site. Here, we report that such a viral vector vacc...
