Assessing the long-term efficacy of MPXV vaccine candidates is crucial for the global response to the ongoing mpox epidemic. Built upon our previous study of the mpox quadrivalent mRNA vaccine, herein we reported that MPXV-1103 could elicit sustained humoral and cellular immunity in mice, including the induction of MPXV A35/B6/A29/M1-specific IgG antibodies, VACV neutralizing antibodies and activated cytotoxic CD8T cells, which provides 100% protection against lethal VACV challenge even at 280 days after the first vaccination. Our results provide critical insights for orthopoxvirus vaccine development.

The outbreak of clade II monkeypox virus (MPXV) and the additional outbreak in Central Africa of clade I virus from 2023 have attracted worldwide attention. The development of a scalable and effective vaccine against the ongoing epidemic of mpox is urgently needed. We previously constructed two bivalent MPXV mRNA vaccines, LBA (B6R-A29L) and LAM (A35R-M1R), and a quadrivalent mRNA vaccine, LBAAM (B6R-A35R-A29L-M1R).

Article Synopsis
  • * The study demonstrated that mice vaccinated with this new quadrivalent lipid nanoparticle vaccine not only developed protective immune responses but also significantly reduced virus spread in their bodies after exposure.
  • * Findings indicate that even a single dose of the vaccine offers considerable protection, which can be enhanced with a booster, suggesting strong potential for mRNA vaccines in preventing orthopoxvirus infections and warranting further clinical testing.

Article Synopsis
  • The outbreak of monkeypox virus (MPXV) in nonendemic areas poses a serious global health threat, highlighting the urgent need for an effective vaccine.
  • Researchers developed a new multivalent mRNA vaccine, MPXV-1103, that targets multiple MPXV proteins and shows a better immune response than previous vaccine types.
  • MPXV-1103 demonstrated strong protection in mice against lethal viral challenges without causing harmful side effects, indicating it could be a promising candidate for public distribution.

The 2022 mpox outbreak led the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare it a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). There is a need to develop more effective and safer mpox virus (MPXV)-specific vaccines in response to the mpox epidemic. The mRNA vaccine is a promising platform to protect against MPXV infection.
