Novavax NVX-COV2373 triggers neutralization of Omicron sub-lineages
The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) Variant of Concern (VOC) and its sub-lineages (including BA.2, BA.4, BA.5, BA.2.12.1) contain spike mutations that confer high level resistance to neutralizing antibodies induced by vaccination with ancestral spike or infection with previously circulating variants. The NVX-CoV2373 vaccine, a protein nanoparticle vaccine containing the ancestral spike sequence, has value in countries with constrained cold-chain requirements. Here we report neutralizing titers following two or three doses of NVX-CoV2373. We show that after two doses, Omicron sub-lineages BA.1 and BA.4/BA.5 were resistant to neutralization by 72% (21/29) and 59% (17/29) of samples respectively. However, after a third dose of NVX-CoV2373, we observed high titers against Omicron BA.1 (GMT: 1,197) and BA.4/BA.5 (GMT: 582), with responses similar in magnitude to those triggered by three doses of an mRNA vaccine. These data are of particular relevance as BA.4/BA.5 is dominating in multiple locations, and highlight the potential utility of the NVX-CoV2373 vaccine as a booster in resource-limited environments.

Book
Electricity
Over the past few hundred years, the introduction of electricity has changed how people live all over the world so much so that many can t imagine life without it! The earliest experiments with electricity, like those done by Ben Franklin and William Gilbert, will fascinate readers as they learn the basics of electricity, from atoms to circuits. Exemplified by familiar situations and items, the main science content supplements what readers will encounter in the classroom, including history as well as future energy sources such as wind and solar power. Vivid photographs and additional fact boxes make learning about science simply electrifying!
