SignificanceAlthough the need for a universal influenza vaccine has long been recognized, only a handful of candidates have been identified so far, with even fewer advancing in the clinical pipeline. The 24-amino acid ectodomain of M2 protein (M2e) has been developed over the past two decades. However, M2e-based vaccine candidates have shortcomings, including the need for several administrations and the lack of sustained antibody titers over time. We report here a vaccine targeting strategy that has the potential to confer sustained and strong protection upon a single shot of a small amount of M2e antigen. The current COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of developing versatile, powerful platforms for the rapid deployment of vaccines against any incoming threat.
意义 尽管人们早就认识到需要一种通用的流感疫苗,但迄今为止,只有少数候选疫苗被确定,而在临床研发管道中推进的候选疫苗则更少。过去二十年来,M2 蛋白(M2e)的 24 个氨基酸的外结构域已经得到了发展。然而,基于 M2e 的疫苗候选物存在一些缺点,包括需要多次接种以及随着时间的推移抗体滴度不能持续。我们在此报告了一种疫苗靶向策略,该策略有可能在单次注射少量 M2e 抗原时提供持续且强大的保护。当前的 COVID-19 大流行凸显了开发多功能、强大平台的重要性,以便能够快速部署针对任何传入威胁的疫苗。
