Abstract

The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants with frequent mutations has seriously damaged the effectiveness of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine. There is an 
urgent need to develop a broad-spectrum vaccine while elucidating the underlying immune mechanisms. Here, 
we developed a SARS-CoV-2 virus-like particles (VLPs) vaccine based on the Canarypox-virus vector (ALVACVLPs) using CRISPR/Cas9. Immunization with ALVAC-VLPs showed the effectively induce SARS-CoV-2 specific T 
and B cell responses to resist the lethal challenge of mouse adaptive strains. Notably, ALVAC-VLPs conferred 
protection in golden hamsters against SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan-Hu-1 (wild-type, WT) and variants (Beta, Delta, 
Omicron BA.1, and BA.2), as evidenced by the prevention of weight loss, reduction in lung and turbinate tissue 
damage, and decreased viral load. Further investigation into the mechanism of immune response induced by 
ALVAC-VLPs revealed that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) mediates the recruitment of dendritic cells (DCs) to secondary lymphoid organs, thereby initiating follicle assisted T (Tfh) cell differentiation, the proliferation of 
germinal center (GC) B cells and plasma cell production. These findings demonstrate the immunogenicity and 
efficacy of the safe ALVAC-VLPs vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 and provide valuable insight into the development 
of COVID-19 vaccine strategies.

严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2SARS-CoV-2)变种的频繁突变已经严重削弱了2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)疫苗的有效性。COVID-19的突破感染案例继续成为临床领域的一个重要问题。针对严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2SARS-CoV-2)的传播迅速开发了多种COVID-19疫苗,主要集中在通过中和抗体介导的体液免疫反应。虽然现有的COVID-19疫苗在预防重症和减少住院方面表现出显著的效果,但它们面临一定的局限性。已经观察到,免疫力会随时间减弱,完成第二或第三剂疫苗接种几个月后,中和抗体显著下降。导致突破感染的另一个因素是严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2的变种的出现,即关注变种(VOCs),它们能够逃避免疫反应并降低疫苗的有效性。特别是Omicron变种显示出更高的传播性和对中和抗体的显著逃逸,进一步增加了预防和控制COVID-19大流行的难度。这些变种引发了对疫苗效果可能降低以及需要更新免疫策略以应对其影响的担忧。因此,重新评估COVID-19疫苗开发策略至关重要,考虑到抗体水平下降和病毒突变的出现。研究者迫切需要开发一种广谱疫苗,同时阐明其潜在的免疫机制。

重要发现,

在此,研究者开发了一种基于金丝雀痘病毒载体(ALVAC-VLPs)的SARS-CoV-2病毒样颗粒(VLPs)疫苗。研究显示,ALVAC-VLPs免疫能有效诱导SARS-CoV-2特异性的T细胞和B细胞反应,以抵抗致命的小鼠适应株挑战。值得注意的是,ALVAC-VLPs在金仓鼠中对SARS-CoV-2武汉株(野生型,WT)及其变种(Beta, Delta, Omicron BA.1BA.2)提供了保护,证据包括防止体重下降、减少肺和鼻甲组织损伤以及降低病毒载量。进一步研究表明,ALVAC-VLPs诱导的免疫反应机制是通过Toll样受体4TLR4)介导树突状细胞(DCs)向次级淋巴器官的募集,从而启动滤泡辅助性TTfh)细胞分化、生发中心(GCB细胞增殖和浆细胞的产生。这些发现表明,ALVAC-VLPs疫苗对SARS-CoV-2的免疫原性和有效性,并为COVID-19疫苗策略的开发提供了宝贵的见解。
