*Only results for the optimal dose, i.e., the strongest responses without unacceptable side effects, are recorded. When the number of immunizations differed between groups, the one inducing the strongest response was chosen. VP, virus particle.
†Antibody binding was measured in S protein immunoglobulin G (IgG) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) 2 weeks after the last immunization, and the values are listed as median effective dilution (ED50), end point (EP), or ELISA units derived from comparison with a standard curve (EU); GM, geometric mean; AUC, area under the curve.
‡Neutralization was quantified in pseudo-virus (PV) or replicating virus (RV) assays, as indicated. The potency was measured as median inhibitory dilution (ID50) or ID>99 values [CPE100 in (10) is the approximate equivalent of ID>99 in (9)].
§T cell responses were measured in enzyme-linked immune absorbent spot (ELISpot) interferon-γ (IFN-γ) assay as spot forming cells (SFC) per 106 cells after stimulation with different SARS-CoV-2 S-derived peptides. The days between immunization (day 0) and sampling are also listed (in parentheses). AM, arithmetic mean.
║ND, not done (no data were presented in the paper).
¶Data are for the two-dose (prime boost) group.
