COVID-19 vaccine candidate stimulates neutralising antibody production in vivo
The novel haptenised SARS-CoV-2 s-Spike vaccine, BVX-0320, stimulated mice to create neutralising antibodies that were able to reduce SARS-CoV-2 plaques in a neutralisation test.

N439K variant of SARS-CoV-2 is resistant to some neutralising antibodies, shows study
The N439K mutation improves the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and the viral receptor ACE2 and eludes antibody-mediated immunity, say investigators.
