This study shows that mucosal adenoviral-vectored vaccines provide durable protection against XBB.1.16 infection in nonhuman primates, outperforming intramuscular boosting in reducing virus replication in both upper and lower airways.

This study shows that CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are necessary to prevent SARS-CoV-2 persistence in the nasal compartment but not in the lungs.

This study shows a gorilla adenovirus-based vaccine provides durable immunity against SARS-CoV-2 in both airways of non-human primates, with enhanced protection from aerosol delivery and prime-boost regimens.

The paper compares SARS-CoV-2 antigenicity across assays and in human and animal model sera, finding similar immunodominance patterns and antigenic maps but differences in titer magnitude and assay-specific fold change.
