General information

ELI-005 is a candidate protein subunit vaccine composed of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (S2) receptor binding domain (RBD) adjuvanted with an amphiphile (AMP-CpG). It was shown to induce potent Th1-biased immune response in mice, with high neutralizing antibody titres. The elicited cellular and humoral responses were present in aged mice, as well (Steinbuck et al., 2021).

The vaccine was shown to induce potent Th1-biased immune response in mice, with high neutralizing antibody titres and strong CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses in blood, spleen, lung tissue, or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The formulation enables dose-sparing of Spike RBD with preserved humoral and cellular immune responses. The elicited cellular and humoral responses were present in aged mice, as well.
