Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an alphavirus that has emerged as a global health burden. There are 3 CHIKV genotypes: Asian, West African, and Eastern/Central/South African. No licensed CHIKV vaccine is available, and whether the antibody response elicited by one genotype can neutralize heterologous genotypes is unclear. We assessed neutralizing antibody (NAb) responses of volunteers in a phase 1 study of a CHIKV vaccine against 9 viral strains representing all 3 genotypes. Minimal differences in vaccine-elicited NAb responses were observed among genotypes, suggesting that vaccination with a single CHIKV strain can elicit cross-protective NAbs against all 3 genotypes.
基孔肯雅病毒(CHIKV)是一种已成为全球健康负担的甲病毒。CHIKV有3种基因型:亚洲型、西非型和东非/中非/南非型。目前尚无获得许可的CHIKV疫苗,且一种基因型引发的抗体反应能否中和异源基因型尚不清楚。我们在一项CHIKV疫苗1期研究中评估了志愿者针对代表所有3种基因型的9种病毒株的中和抗体(NAb)反应。各基因型之间在疫苗引发的NAb反应中观察到的差异极小,这表明用单一CHIKV毒株进行疫苗接种可引发针对所有3种基因型的交叉保护性NAb。
