Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) causes severe respiratory disease in humans. We tested a recombinant modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) vaccine expressing full-length MERS-CoV spike (S) glycoprotein by immunizing BALB/c mice with either intramuscular or subcutaneous regimens. In all cases, MVA-MERS-S induced MERS-CoV-specific CD8(+) T cells and virus-neutralizing antibodies. Vaccinated mice were protected against MERS-CoV challenge infection after transduction with the human dipeptidyl peptidase 4 receptor. This MERS-CoV infection model demonstrates the safety and efficacy of the candidate vaccine.
中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒(MERS-CoV)可导致人类患上严重的呼吸道疾病。我们通过肌肉注射或皮下注射方案免疫BALB/c小鼠,对一种表达全长MERS-CoV刺突(S)糖蛋白的重组改良安卡拉痘苗病毒(MVA)疫苗进行了测试。在所有情况下,MVA-MERS-S均诱导产生了MERS-CoV特异性CD8(+) T细胞和病毒中和抗体。在用人类二肽基肽酶4受体转导后,接种疫苗的小鼠受到保护,免受MERS-CoV攻击感染。这种MERS-CoV感染模型证明了该候选疫苗的安全性和有效性。
