MERS-CoV spike vaccine-induced N-terminal domain-specific antibodies are more protective than receptor binding domain-specific antibodies by Olubukola M. Abiona, Nianshuang Wang, Sarah R. Leist, Alexandra Schäfer, Adam S. Cockrell, Lingshu Wang, Sandhya Bangaru, Laura Stevens, Rachel L. Graham, Jacob F. Kocher, Yaroslav Tsybovsky, Masaru Kanekiyo, Azad Kumar, Kaitlyn M. Morabito, Osnat Rosen, Wei Shi, Anne Werner, Yi Zhang, Cynthia Ziwawo, Christian K.O. Dzuvor, Charis Palandjian, Connor Eastman, Hannah R. Matthews, Jeswin Joseph, James D. Chappell, Wing-Pui Kong, John R. Mascola, Andrew B. Ward, Mark R. Denison, Ralph Baric, Jason S. McLellan, Barney S. Graham, Kizzmekia S. Corbett-Helaire

“…To study which epitopes and subdomains contribute to in vivo protection, we utilized the prefusion-stabilized spike protein of MERS-CoV, MERS S-2P, as a vaccine immunogen. Vaccination with MERS S-2P elicited both receptor-binding domain (RBD)- and non-RBD-specific antibodies, including N-terminal domain (NTD)-specific G2-and CDC2-A2-like antibodies. …”
