Quartet nanocage vaccine targets coronavirus variants effectively

News-Medical.Net May 8, 2024, 05:00 AM UTC

Summary: Researchers developed a vaccination technique using virus-like particles (VLPs) with multiple protein variations to broaden immune responses against infections like SARS-CoV-2. The study focused on Quartet Nanocages, combining receptor-binding domains (RBDs) from various coronaviruses to create a proactive vaccine. Quartet Nanocages stimulated significant neutralizing antibody titers against multiple coronaviruses, including new variants like Omicron XBB.1.5. This approach shows promise in providing broad protection against emerging viral threats.
