An Intranasal SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Candidate
Intranasal administration with a single dose of a chimpanzee adenovirus-vectored SARS-CoV-2 vaccine induces potent immune responses.
Dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine-Induced Antibody Immunity
It is slowly becoming clear that the immunity induced by SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is of overall better quality than that induced by COVID-19.
TWiV 684: Persistence of SARS-CoV-2 immune memory
Daniel Griffin provides a clinical report on COVID-19, and Shane Crotty explains a study of antibodies, B cells and T cells in patients which suggests that immunological memory to SARS-CoV-2 might be long-lived.

TWiV 657: Shane Crotty on SARS-CoV-2 immunity
Immunologist Shane Crotty joins TWiV to discuss the antibody and T cell responses to infection with SARS-CoV-2, followed by answers to listener questions.
TWiV 257: Caveat mTOR
On episode #257 of the science show This Week in Virology, the TWiV team consider how the kinase mTOR modulates the antibody response to provide broad protection against influenza virus, and explore the problems with scientific research. You can find TWiV #257 at www.microbe.tv/twiv.
