Interlaboratory assessment of quantification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA by reverse transcription digital PCR

For the analytical method, nine laboratories employed one-step RT-dPCR approach using kits corresponding to the spe-cific dPCR platforms. One laboratory employed a two-step RT-dPCR approach, where (cDNA) was synthesized in a separate reaction tube.

Single-dose immunization with a chimpanzee adenovirus-based vaccine induces sustained and protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Front. in Immun

Single-dose intranasal administration of this vaccine completely protected human DPP4 knock-in mice from lethal MERS-CoV challenge. Passive transfer of immune sera also conferred a survival advantage in lethal challenge mouse models (32).
