mRNA vaccine-induced IgG mediates nasal SARS-CoV-2 clearance in mice.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccines that have contributed to controlling the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic induce specific serum antibodies, which correlate with protection. However, the neutralizing capacity of antibodies for emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants is altered. Suboptimal antibody responses are observed in patients with humoral immunodeficiency diseases, ongoing B cell depletion therapy, and aging.

Assessment of Immunogenicity and Efficacy of CV0501 mRNA-Based Omicron COVID-19 Vaccination in Small Animal Models.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron and its subvariants (BA.2, BA.4, BA.

Comparative immunogenicity of an mRNA/LNP and a DNA vaccine targeting HIV conserved elements in macaques.

Immunogenicity of HIV-1 mRNA vaccine regimens was analyzed in a non-human primate animal model. Rhesus macaques immunized with mRNA in lipid nanoparticle (mRNA/LNP) formulation expressing HIV-1 Gag and Gag conserved regions (CE) as immunogens developed robust, durable antibody responses but low adaptive T-cell responses. Augmentation of the dose resulted in modest increases in vaccine-induced cellular immunity, with no difference in humoral responses.

mRNA vaccines induce rapid antibody responses in mice.

mRNA vaccines can be developed and produced quickly, making them prime candidates for immediate outbreak responses. Furthermore, clinical trials have demonstrated rapid protection following mRNA vaccination. Thus, we sought to investigate how quickly mRNA vaccines elicit antibody responses compared to other vaccine modalities.
