RBD-Fc Vacc
An experimental COVID-19 subunit vaccine.
General information
RBD-Fc Vacc is an experimental COVID-19 subunit vaccine prepared by a fusion of 2 SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein RBDs with a human IgG1 Fc. It is used adjuvanted with aluminum (Sun et al., 2021).

Humoral immune response was prevalent. In a viral challenge, vaccinated primates had lower viral RNA copy numbers. Analogical observations were made in a mouse model. In vaccinated primates, significantly reduced lung tissue pathology was noted after the viral challenge compared to the non-vaccinated ones. |
