| Abstract | Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and its societal impact is very high due to its high rate of transmission. While effective vaccines exist for the current strains of SARS-CoV-2, preventative approaches remain limited, and novel variants may limit the efficacy of current vaccines. The spike protein (S), the major biomarker of COVID-19, projects from the surface of the virus, facilitates the virus’s entry into host |
