SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines: Status Report

Open access

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2, the causal agent of COVID-19, first emerged in late 2019 in China. It has since infected more than 870,000 individuals and caused more than 43,000 deaths globally. Here, we discuss therapeutic and prophylactic interventions for SARS-CoV-2 with a focus on vaccine development and its challenges. Vaccines are being rapidly developed but will likely come too late to affect the first wave of a potential pandemic. Nevertheless, critical lessons can be learned for the development of vaccines against rapidly emerging viruses. Importantly, SARS-CoV-2 vaccines will be essential to reducing morbidity and mortality if the virus establishes itself in the population.

  • The full-length S protein, S1, and RBD of SARS-CoV-2 are capable of inducing highly potent neutralizing antibodies and T cell-mediated immunity and have been widely selected as promising targets for coronavirus vaccine development.

    “The full-length S protein, S1, and RBD are capable of inducing highly potent neutralizing antibodies and T cell-mediated immunity and, therefore, have been widely selected as promising targets for coronavirus vaccine development (Amanat and Krammer, 2020).”

    From A thermostable mRNA vaccine against COVID-19 (2020) · cites this paper as Amanat and Krammer, 2020

    In “What Do We Know about Betacoronavirus Vaccine Design?” (page unavailable), the paper calls the S protein an ideal vaccine target and says spike-targeting antibodies can neutralize SARS-CoV-2. Its Figure 1 caption identifies the RBD as a main target of neutralizing antibodies, and “The Current Pipeline for SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines” lists multiple S-focused candidates. The copy does not establish that full-length S, S1, and RBD each induce highly potent neutralizing antibodies and T-cell-mediated immunity, or that S1 and RBD were each widely selected as vaccine targets.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
