In this study, two adjuvants Al(OH) and ODN2395 working through different mechanisms were used to prepare inactivated PDCoV vaccines, and the immune effects of PDCoV inactivated vaccines were assessed in mice. From the results, we found that both PDCoV/Al(OH) vaccine and PDCoV/2395 vaccine could induce IgG and neutralizing antibodies with high levels in mice.
