Glycosylated Delta-receptor-binding domain mucosal vaccine elicits broadly neutralizing antibodies with protection against SARS-CoV-2 challenge

Summary: Mucosal COVID-19 vaccines are needed to block SARS-CoV-2 infection at the mucosal site. Intranasal delivery of a glycosylated Delta variant receptor-binding domain (Delta-RBD) mucosal vaccine elicited potent and balanced systemic antibody titers comparable to those induced by the intramuscu...

description Summary: Mucosal COVID-19 vaccines are needed to block SARS-CoV-2 infection at the mucosal site. Intranasal delivery of a glycosylated Delta variant receptor-binding domain (Delta-RBD) mucosal vaccine elicited potent and balanced systemic antibody titers comparable to those induced by the intramuscular injection of the same vaccine or Omicron-S subunit vaccine, as well as high mucosal IgA antibody responses. It elicited broadly neutralizing antibodies against the original SARS-CoV-2 strain, Delta and Omicron BA1/BA2 variants, completely protecting transgenic mice from lethal challenge with a Delta variant, including complete absence of weight loss. Of note, intramuscular priming with the Omicron-S protein followed by intranasal boosting with the Delta-RBD protein improved the vaccine’s ability to generate broad-spectrum neutralizing antibodies against recent BA5 and XBB Omicron variants. Overall, this vaccine has the potential to prevent the SARS-CoV-2 infection of the respiratory mucosa, while the i.m. priming and i.n. boosting vaccination strategy may offer protection against known and emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.
