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.

Robotic trunk perturbation magnitude affects standing postural responses in individuals with motor complete spinal cord injury receiving epidural stimulation
After a severe spinal cord injury (SCI), the human spinal circuitry receiving epidural stimulation can generate lower limb postural responses to sensory inputs associated with trunk perturbation. Here, we assessed the effects of different trunk perturbative forces on standing postural responses in six individuals with chronic, motor complete SCI receiving epidural stimulation to facilitate standing. The robotic upright stand trainer (RobUST) provided constant assistance for pelvic control and delivered precise trunk perturbations with different magnitudes (10 ± 4%BodyWeight (BW) -Low, 14 ± 4%BW -Mid, and 18 ± 4%BW -High) and directions (left, right, front, back). Trunk excursion, ground reaction forces (GRF), and electromyography (EMG) amplitude were assessed. Perturbation magnitude significantly affected trunk excursion and GRFs in all tested directions (
p
≤ 0.002), with larger modulations elicited by higher perturbation magnitudes. Lower limb EMG amplitude responses were less consistent. In some instances, perturbation magnitude did not affect EMG amplitude. In others, high-magnitude perturbations promoted larger EMG amplitude modulation compared to weaker perturbations, resulting in higher or lower levels of activation depending on muscle and direction. These findings contribute to characterize the residual postural control potential of the human spinal circuitry below the level of SCI, which should be considered when defining postural training protocols with spinal cord neuromodulation.
