SARS-CoV-2 RBD trimer protein adjuvanted with Alum-3M-052 protects from SARS-CoV-2 infection and immune pathology in the lung

Efficient vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 are needed. Here, the authors show that a trimeric form of the receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike adjuvanted with alum-3M-052 protects non-human primates from disease and inhibits infection.
