ABSTRACT The common cold coronaviruses are a source of ongoing morbidity and mortality particularly among elderly immunocompromised individuals. While cross-reactive immune responses against multiple have been described following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection vaccination, it remains unclear if these confer any degree cross-protection the coronaviruses. A recombinant fowl adenovirus vaccine expressing SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (FAdV-9-S19) was generated, protection from challenge shown in K18-hACE2 mice. Vaccinated mice were also challenged with human (HCoV)-OC43 HCoV-NL63 by intranasal route, viral shedding lung burden reduced groups compared to unvaccinated animals. Histopathological analysis tissues revealed significantly less inflammation lower pathology scores that received FAdV-9-S19 .

1Using computational methods, we designed 60-mer nanoparticles displaying SARS-like betacoronavirus (sarbecovirus) receptor-binding domains (RBDs) by (i) creating RBD sequences with 6 mutations in the SARS-COV-2 WA1 that were predicted to retain proper folding and abrogate antibody responses variable epitopes (mosaic-2COMs; mosaic-5COM), (ii) selecting 7 natural sarbecovirus RBDs (mosaic-7COM). These antigens compared mosaic-8b, which elicits cross-reactive antibodies protects from challenges animals.

Abstract Development of intranasal vaccines for respiratory viruses has gained popularity. However, currently only a live-attenuated influenza vaccine is FDA-approved administration. Here, we focused on virus as it circulates seasonally, pandemic potential, and formulations that present hemagglutinin (HA) in different structural arrangements. These display differences have not been correlated with induction pan-H1 antibodies or shown to provide protection. Using electron microscopy, biochemistry animal studies, identified HA complexes arranged lipid discs multiple trimeric HAs displayed along the perimeter, termed spike nanobicelles (SNB). We utilized structure-guided approach synthesize vitro assembled spiked (IA-SNB) from classical 1934 H1N1 virus. IA-SNBs elicited provided protection against antigenically divergent via immunizations. Viral glycoprotein spikes SNBs could aid combating antigenic variation innovative universal development.
