COVID-19 Spike Protein

Spike protein mapping could lead to more effective COVID-19 vaccine boosters and therapies

March 25, 2021

New research from the Sprenger and Whitehead groups aims to identify and map common mutations in “Spike” proteins—the proteins that allow the virus to enter and infect cells. This would provide researchers with a roadmap to anticipate and counteract the development of future SARS-CoV-2 strains with effective vaccines and vaccine boosters.
