    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for inducing immunity against a virus such as a coronavirus in the mucosal tissue of a patient, include administering a vaccine composition to the patient by oral administration (e.g., nasal injection, nasal inhalation, oral inhalation, and/or oral ingestion). Also disclosed are compositions for assaying the presence of antiviral antibodies induced by the administered vaccine or the presence of viral proteins in a saliva sample include a stabilizing solution and may also include the use of aragonite particle beads. Compositions and methods are presented for prevention and/or treatment of a coronavirus disease wherein the composition comprises a recombinant entity. The recombinant entity is bivalent, comprising a nucleic acid encoding a coronavirus 2 nucleocapsid protein CoV2 nucleocapsid protein fused to an endosomal targeting sequence, and a nucleic acid encoding a CoV2 spike protein sequence optimized for cell surface expression.

    Abstract: Methods for detecting the presence of sever acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are provided. The methods comprise incubating a sample comprising T-cells from an individual with one or more SARS-CoV-2 antigens, each antigen having a T-cell epitope, and detecting a change in state of T-cells in the sample. The change in state may be detected by determining the presence or level of a secreted, immune response indicator, such as interferon-gamma (IFN-γ).
