近日,美国国立卫生研究院Barney S. Graham等研究人员通过原型病原体实现SARS-CoV-2 mRNA疫苗的设计。相关论文于2020年8月5日在线发表在《自然》杂志上。

研究人员利用原子级结构指导了融合前稳定突变的应用,这些突变改善了β冠状病毒刺突蛋白的表达和免疫原性。使用这种免疫原设计,SARS-CoV-2序列的破译促进了融合前稳定的SARS-CoV-2突刺三聚体mRNA疫苗(mRNA-1273)的生产。
 
研究人员发现,mRNA-1273可以诱导对野生型(D614)和D614G突变体SARS-CoV-2的有效中和抗体反应以及CD8 T细胞反应,并能防止小鼠肺和鼻中的SARS-CoV-2感染,而且没有产生免疫病理。mRNA-1273当前处于3期功效评估中。

Abstract: A vaccine for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is needed to control the global coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) public health crisis. Atomic-level structures directed the application of prefusion-stabilizing mutations that improved the expression and immunogenicity of betacoronavirus spike proteins1. Using this established immunogen design, the release of SARS-CoV-2 sequences triggered immediate rapid manufacturing of an mRNA vaccine expressing the prefusion-stabilized SARS-CoV-2 spike trimer (mRNA-1273). Here we show that mRNA-1273 induces both potent neutralizing antibody responses to wild-type (D614) and D614G mutant2 SARS-CoV-2 and CD8 T cell responses, and protects against SARS-CoV-2 infection in the lungs and noses of mice without evidence of immunopathology. mRNA-1273 is currently in Phase 3 efficacy evaluation.
