    Nanoparticle Vaccine for Many SARS-Like Coronaviruses | Medgadget - 2 year(s) ago

    Researchers at the California Institute of Technology, better known as Caltech, have developed a nanoparticle vaccine that appears to confer broad protection against SARS-like betacoronaviruses. This includes SARS-CoV-2, responsible for the current pandemic, and SARS-CoV, which caused the original SARS pandemic in the early 2000s. The vaccine consists of protein nanoparticles that are…

    Structural Basis for Potent Neutralization of Betacoronaviruses by Single-Domain Camelid Antibodies - 4 year(s) ago

    Using llamas immunized with prefusion-stabilized betacoronavirus spike proteins, Wrapp et al. identify neutralizing cross-reactive single-domain camelid antibodies, which may serve not only as useful reagents for researchers studying the viruses causing MERS, SARS, and COVID-19, but also potential therapeutic candidates. Crystal structures further reveal how these antibodies bind spike proteins…
