SARS-CoV-2 XBB.1.5 infects wild-type C57BL/6 mice and induces a protective CD4+ T cell response required for viral clearance

Mouse models are critical for studying SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis and evaluating therapeutic and preventive strategies. Standard C57BL/6 mice are generally resistant to infection with the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strain due to inefficient binding of the viral spike protein to the murine angiotensin-convert...
