Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines provide essential tools for the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. A number of technologies have been employed to develop SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, including the inactivated SARS-CoV-2 particles, mRNA to express viral spike protein, recombinant spike proteins, and viral vectors. Here, we report the use of the vaccinia virus Tiantan strain as a vector to express the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. When it was used to inoculate mice, robust SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-specific antibody response and T-cell response were detected. Sera from the vaccinated mice showed strong neutralizing activity against the ancestral Wuhan SARS-CoV-2, the variants of concern (VOCs) B.1.351, B.1.617.2, and the emerging B.1.1.529 (omicron). This finding supports the possibility of developing a new type of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine using the vaccinia virus vector.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)疫苗为控制 COVID-19 大流行提供了重要工具。为了开发 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗,已经采用了多种技术,包括灭活的 SARS-CoV-2 颗粒、表达病毒刺突蛋白的 mRNA、重组刺突蛋白和病毒载体。在这里,我们报告了使用天坛株痘苗病毒作为载体来表达 SARS-CoV-2 刺突蛋白。当将其用于接种小鼠时,检测到了强大的 SARS-CoV-2 刺突蛋白特异性抗体反应和 T 细胞反应。来自接种疫苗的小鼠的血清显示出对原始武汉 SARS-CoV-2、关注变体(VOCs)B.1.351、B.1.617.2 和新兴的 B.1.1.529(奥密克戎)的强烈中和活性。这一发现支持使用痘苗病毒载体开发新型 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗的可能性。
