Live attenuated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidates. Cold-adapted mutants replicate more slowly in the lower respiratory tract and lungs, compared to the wild type strain. Temperature-sensitive mutants cannot replicate at these locations. Codon de-optimized mutants show lower proliferation rates than the wild type strain, at any location.
