A third vaccination with a single T cell epitope confers protection in a murine model of SARS-CoV-2 infection

Vaccination regimens and the number of doses required for optimal immunity and protection are critical factors in the translation of vaccines. Here the authors show administration of a three dose protocol of a single T cell epitope to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein induces a robust CD8+ T cell respons...

Description
Summary:Vaccination regimens and the number of doses required for optimal immunity and protection are critical factors in the translation of vaccines. Here the authors show administration of a three dose protocol of a single T cell epitope to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein induces a robust CD8+ T cell response and confers protection in a lethal murine challenge model of infection.
