In article number 2005637, Jonathan F. Lovell and co‐workers show that the SARS‐CoV‐2 RBD surface protein becomes a potent immunogen when presented in nanoparticle format. Using a vaccine adjuvant that spontaneously converts soluble recombinant antigens into stable particles, immunization studies in mice and rabbits shows that the particle‐based RBD elicits strong immune responses and potent antibodies capable of neutralizing the virus.
