The COVID-19 pandemic enabled the successful launch of mRNA-based vaccines that, when given intramuscularly, elicit spike-specific antibodies and prevent severe disease, but do not promote mucosal immunity. New data suggest how to boost systemic immunity and elicit pulmonary immunity in a way that more effectively controls infection and impairs transmission.
COVID-19 大流行推动了基于 mRNA 的疫苗的成功研发,这些疫苗经肌肉注射后可引发针对刺突蛋白的抗体,预防重症疾病,但不能促进黏膜免疫。新数据提示了如何增强全身免疫并引发肺部免疫,从而更有效地控制感染并降低传播风险。
