Fig. 7.
Weight change of hamsters after exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Hamsters from experiment described in Fig. 6 were monitored daily for weight change. Results are represented for each animal in each groups as kinetic of weight change from SARS-CoV-2 exposure to day 9 after infection. (a) represents the weight change observed in the 2-dose regimen (II), (b) represent the weight change observed in the single dose regimen (I). One animal from Saline group II and one animal from VBI-2902(II) were sacrificed at day 6 and day 7 respectively, because they presented intense distress. Animal from Saline(II) presented typical clinical signs of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Severe clinical presentation of animal in VBI-2902a(II) could not be related to SARS-CoV-2 infection and have not been determined. Significant days of weight loss relative to Saline group (p < 0.005) are indicated on the left panel. Statistical analysis was performed with unpaired non parametric multiple t test using Holm-Šidák method.
