Virus-Like Particle Approaches to Coronavirus Diagnostics and Vaccines - an Update
Prof. M.G. Finn -  James A. Carlos Family Chair for Pediatric Technology, Professor & ChairSchool of Chemistry & Biochemistry, School of Biological Sciences; Georgia Institute of Technology

Antibody production is an important component of the mechanism of action of anti-coronavirus vaccines, and high-affinity antibodies are also useful reagents in diagnostics and potential therapeutic applications. This presentation will update last year’s talk on our development of monoclonal antibodies and the characterization of their different functional properties with respect to coronavirus binding and neutralization.
