Self-amplifying RNA SARS-CoV-2 lipid nanoparticle vaccine candidate induces high neutralizing antibody titers in mice

Here, the authors develop a self-amplifying RNA encoding the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein encapsulated within a lipid nanoparticle as a vaccine candidate and show induction of neutralization antibody titers in mice that are comparable to titers in convalescent sera of patients.
