This study examined the antigenic properties of the vaccine antigens by immunoassays and EM, revealing inconsistent presentation of AR1/5 epitopes. The vaccine elicited mainly strain-specific neutralizing antibodies in humans and non-human primates, highlighting the need for rational antigen design to improve vaccine breadth. |
