Since May 2022, mutant strains of mpox (formerly monkeypox) virus (MPXV) have been rapidly spreading among individuals who have not traveled to endemic areas in multiple locations, including Europe and the United States. Both intracellular and extracellular forms of mpox virus have multiple outer membrane proteins that can stimulate immune response. Here, we investigated the immunogenicity of MPXV structural proteins such as A29L, M1R, A35R, and B6R as a combination vaccine, and the protective effect against the 2022 mpox mutant strain was also evaluated in BALB/c mice. After mixed 15 μg QS-21 adjuvant, all four virus structural proteins were administered subcutaneously to mice. Antibody titers in mouse sera rose sharply after the initial boost, along with an increased capacity of immune cells to produce IFN-γ alongside an elevated level of cellular immunity mediated by Th1 cells. The vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies significantly inhibited the replication of MPXV in mice and reduced the pathological damage of organs. This study demonstrates the feasibility of a multiple recombinant vaccine for MPXV variant strains.
自 2022 年 5 月以来,在多个地区(包括欧洲和美国),从未前往流行地区的人群中,猴痘(以前称为猴痘)病毒(MPXV)的突变株正在迅速传播。MPXV 的细胞内和细胞外形式都有多种能够刺激免疫反应的外层膜蛋白。在这里,我们研究了 A29L、M1R、A35R 和 B6R 等 MPXV 结构蛋白作为组合疫苗的免疫原性,并在 BALB/c 小鼠中评估了其对 2022 年猴痘突变株的保护作用。在混合 15μg QS-21 佐剂后,将所有四种病毒结构蛋白皮下注射到小鼠体内。在最初的加强后,小鼠血清中的抗体滴度急剧上升,同时免疫细胞产生 IFN-γ 的能力增强,Th1 细胞介导的细胞免疫水平升高。疫苗诱导的中和抗体显著抑制了 MPXV 在小鼠体内的复制,并减轻了器官的病理损伤。这项研究证明了针对 MPXV 变异株的多种重组疫苗的可行性。
