Here we report a lipid nanoparticle system with capacity to carry antigens, including mRNA proteins, which is formed into virus-like structure by surface decoration spike demonstrating application against SARS-CoV-2 variants.

The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants and "anatomical escape" characteristics threaten the effectiveness current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. There is an urgent need to understand immunological mechanism broad-spectrum tract protection guide broader vaccines development. Here we investigate immune responses induced by NS1-deleted influenza virus vectored intranasal COVID-19 vaccine (dNS1-RBD) which provides against SARS-CoV-2 in hamsters. Intranasal delivery dNS1-RBD induces innate immunity, trained immunity tissue-resident memory T cells covering upper lower tract. It restrains inflammatory response suppressing early phase viral load post challenge attenuating pro-inflammatory cytokine (Il6, Il1b, Ifng) levels, thereby reducing excess immune-induced tissue injury compared with control group. By inducing local cellular represents a strategy reduce burden.

Infectious virus shedding from individuals infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is used to estimate human-to-human transmission risk. Control of SARS-CoV-2 requires identifying the immune correlates that protect infectious shedding. Mucosal immunity prevents infection by SARS-CoV-2, which replicates in epithelium and spreads rapidly other hosts. However, whether mucosal SARS-CoV-2-infected unknown. We examined relationship between viral RNA dynamics, duration shedding, antibody responses during infection. Anti-spike secretory IgA antibodies (S-IgA) reduced load infectivity more than anti-spike IgG/IgA nasopharyngeal samples. Compared response, S-IgA post-infection affected dynamics predicted regardless history. These findings highlight importance for preventing transmission. Developing medical countermeasures shorten response time may help control prevent future pandemics.

Broadly protective coronavirus vaccines are an important tool for protecting against future SARS-CoV-2 variants and could play a critical role in mitigating the impact of outbreaks or pandemics caused by novel coronaviruses. The Coronavirus Vaccines Research Development (R&D) Roadmap (CVR) is aimed at promoting development such vaccines. CVR, funded Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Rockefeller Foundation, was generated through collaborative iterative process, which led Center Infectious Disease Policy (CIDRAP) University Minnesota involved 50 international subject matter experts recognized leaders field. This report summarizes major issues areas research outlined CVR identifies high-priority milestones. covers 6-year timeframe organized into five topic areas: virology, immunology, vaccinology, animal human infection models, policy finance.
