Corbett et al. use the rhesus macaque model to evaluate the ability of the mRNA-1273 (Moderna) COVID-19 vaccine to protect against challenge with the antibody-evading Beta variant of SARS-CoV-2. Their key finding is that the vaccine prevents severe lung pathology, principally because it is able to induce a strong enough antibody resistance to overcome the variant’s relative resistance.

Beta测试猴子模型

科比特等人。使用恒河猴模型评估 mRNA-1273 (Moderna) COVID-19 疫苗抵御 SARS-CoV-2 的抗体逃避 Beta 变体攻击的能力。他们的主要发现是疫苗可以预防严重的肺部病变，主要是因为它能够诱导足够强的抗体抗性来克服变体的相对抗性。
