General information

Ferritin-NP-RBD is a candidate COVID-19 vaccine. It contains SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein RBD conjugated to ferritin nanoparticles and was experimentally administered with CpG-1826 adjuvant. The vaccine provided long-lasting immunization in a mouse model (Wang et al., 2021).

The vaccine elicited efficient antibody response in mice, which lasted for at least 7 months post immunization. The persistent immune response was supported by maintained memory B cells. The day 35, 217, and 231 sera of immunized mice (on day 0 (vaccine), 14, 28, and 210 (boost)) of the vaccine neutralized live SARS-CoV-2 in Vero cells with average MN50 of 10^4.8/ml, 10^4/ml, and 10^4.3/ml, respectively.
