カルテックの研究者らが開発した新しいワクチン「モザイク-8」は、既存の免疫がある場合でも複数のサルベコウイルスとSARS-CoV-2の変異株に対して広範な抗体反応を誘発することが判明しました。動物実験では、モザイク-8が保存されたウイルス領域をターゲットにする抗体を生成し、将来のパンデミック予防に寄与する可能性が示されました。この研究は、2025年に予定されているフェーズ1の臨床試験に向けた重要なステップとなります。

Highlights

  • Pan-sarbecovirus vaccine evaluated in pre-vaccinated monkeys and mice
  • Mosaic nanoparticles elicited broad antibody responses after COVID-19 vaccinations
  • Epitope and molecular fate mapping revealed cross-reactive recall responses
  • Original antigenic sin did not diminish immune responses to a mosaic vaccine

Summary

Immunization with mosaic-8b (nanoparticles presenting 8 SARS-like betacoronavirus [sarbecovirus] receptor-binding domains [RBDs]) elicits more broadly cross-reactive antibodies than homotypic SARS-CoV-2 RBD-only nanoparticles and protects against sarbecoviruses. To investigate original antigenic sin (OAS) effects on mosaic-8b efficacy, we evaluated the effects of prior COVID-19 vaccinations in non-human primates and mice on anti-sarbecovirus responses elicited by mosaic-8b, admix-8b (8 homotypics), or homotypic SARS-CoV-2 immunizations, finding the greatest cross-reactivity for mosaic-8b. As demonstrated by molecular fate mapping, in which antibodies from specific cohorts of B cells are differentially detected, B cells primed by WA1 spike mRNA-LNP dominated antibody responses after RBD-nanoparticle boosting. While mosaic-8b- and homotypic-nanoparticles boosted cross-reactive antibodies, de novo antibodies were predominantly induced by mosaic-8b, and these were specific for variant RBDs with increased identity to RBDs on mosaic-8b. These results inform OAS mechanisms and support using mosaic-8b to protect COVID-19-vaccinated/infected humans against as-yet-unknown SARS-CoV-2 variants and animal sarbecoviruses with human spillover potential.
