We showed in this study that although rAd5 expressing S1 or CD40-targeted S1 were both capable of inducing significant levels of IgG and nAbs specific to MERS-CoV in immunized mice, incorporation of CD40L substantially enhances the immunogenicity of S1, as demonstrated by the effectiveness of a single immunization dose, which was sufficient to elicit stronger and robust immune responses compared to control groups, consistent with our previous reports [37, 38] . ./cache/cord-344954-gpb25fga.txt ./txt/cord-344954-gpb25fga.txt
