“…We compared neutralizing antibody responses elicited following vaccination of BALB/c mice with three distinct AddaVax-adjuvanted protein subunit immunogens. Mice were immunized at weeks 0 and 3 with a clinical-stage, multivalent RBD-nanoparticle (RBD-NP) (Arunachalam et al, 2021;Walls et al, 2020aWalls et al, , 2021Arunachalam et al, 2022;Song et al, 2022), an S ''2P'' prefusion-stabilized S (Pallesen et al, 2017;Walls et al, 2020a), or a next-generation prefusion-stabilized HexaPro S (Hsieh et al, 2020;Walls et al, 2021). Sera were collected 2, 5, and 8 weeks post-prime, and serum neutralizing activity (expressed as the dilution inhibiting 50% of entry: ID 50 ) was evaluated using single-round vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) Report ll pseudotyped with G614 S, Beta S (B.1.351: L18F, D80A, D215G, L242-L244 deletion, R246I, K417N, E484K, N501Y, D614G, A701V), or Gamma S (P.1: L18F, T20N, P26S, D138Y, R190S, K417T, E484K, N501Y, D614G, H655Y, T1027, V1176F) in two distinct cell lines (VeroE6/TMPRSS2 [Lempp et al, 2021] and HEK293T/human ACE2 [Crawford et al, 2020]).…”
