Here, we vaccinated rhesus macaques with the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S)-protein, then boosted with heterologous β-CoV S-proteins to focus responses to common conserved S2 bnAb epitopes. Initial SARS-CoV-2 priming elicited receptor-binding domain (RBD)-focused responses, while MERS-CoV boosting redirected responses toward the S2 region, including the stem-helix bnAb site. Although S2-directed serum cross-neutralization was undetectable and most isolated cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeted non-neutralizing epitopes, two S2 stem-helix mAbs were identified from memory B cells. These bnAbs neutralized diverse sarbeco- and merbecoviruses, including MERS-CoV, and conferred robust in vivo protection against SARS-CoV-2 challenge. Structural studies reveal that these macaque bnAbs closely mimic human S2 stem bnAbs induced by infection. These findings provide proof-of-principle for vaccination strategies that elicit broadly protective β-coronavirus responses and highlight non-human primates as a translational model for evaluating S2-targeted immunogens.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
