1/n Sharing our latest work published in Nature Medicine on SARS-CoV-2 correlates of protection (CoP) against the Delta and Omicron variants, with a focus on infection-induced immunity. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Research briefing that comes along with the paper:"Neutralizing antibodies do not fully explain SARS-CoV-2 protective immunity" nature.com/articles/s4159…

SARS-CoV-2 variant-specific neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) mediate protection against infection by the cognate variant to distinct extents, while the majority of protection elicited by natural infection may not be mediated by nAbs nature.com/articles/s4159…
