SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines confer protection in diet-induced obese mice despite altered immune cell profiles in the lung

Abstract Hypertension, diabetes, and obesity are comorbidities that influence severe cases of COVID-19 and are associated with weak humoral immunity after vaccination. We hypothesized that the diet-induced obese (DIO) K18-hACE2 mouse model could be utilized to reveal sex and DIO- specific difference...
