A broadly cross-protective influenza vaccine that can be administrated by a painless self-immunization method would be a value as a potential universal mass vaccination strategy. This study developed a minimally-invasive microneedle (MN) patch for skin vaccination with virus-like particles containing influenza virus heterologous M2 extracellular (M2e) domains (M2e5x VLPs) as a universal vaccine candidate without adjuvants. The stability of M2e5x VLP-coated microneedles was maintained for 8weeks at room temperature without losing M2e antigenicity and immunogenicity. MN skin immunization induced strong humoral and mucosal M2e antibody responses and conferred cross-protection against heterosubtypic H1N1, H3N2, and H5N1 influenza virus challenges. In addition, M2e5x VLP MN skin vaccination induced T-helper type 1 responses such as IgG2a isotype antibodies and IFN-γ producing cells at higher levels than those by conventional intramuscular injection. These potential immunological and logistic advantages for skin delivery of M2e5x VLP MN vaccines could offer a promising approach to develop an easy-to-administer universal influenza vaccine.
一种可通过无痛自我免疫方法接种的具有广泛交叉保护作用的流感疫苗,作为一种潜在的通用大规模疫苗接种策略将具有重要价值。本研究开发了一种微创微针(MN)贴片,用于皮肤接种含有流感病毒异源M2细胞外(M2e)结构域(M2e5x VLPs)的病毒样颗粒,作为无佐剂的通用疫苗候选物。M2e5x VLP包被的微针在室温下稳定性可维持8周,且不会丧失M2e抗原性和免疫原性。MN皮肤免疫诱导了强烈的体液和黏膜M2e抗体反应,并对异源亚型H1N1、H3N2和H5N1流感病毒攻击提供了交叉保护。此外,M2e5x VLP MN皮肤接种诱导的1型辅助性T细胞反应,如IgG2a同种型抗体和产生IFN-γ的细胞,其水平高于传统肌肉注射。M2e5x VLP MN疫苗皮肤给药的这些潜在免疫和后勤优势,可为开发一种易于接种的通用流感疫苗提供一种有前景的方法。
