Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause serious illness in older adults (i.e., those aged ≥60 years). Because options for RSV prophylaxis and treatment are limited, the prevention of RSV-mediated illness in older adults remains an important unmet medical need. Data from prior studies suggest that Fc-effector functions are important for protection against RSV infection. In this work, we show that the investigational Ad26.RSV.preF/RSV preF protein vaccine induced Fc-effector functional immune responses in adults aged ≥60 years who were enrolled in a phase 1/2a regimen selection study of Ad26.RSV.preF/RSV preF protein. These results demonstrate the breadth of the immune responses induced by the Ad26.RSV.preF/RSV preF protein vaccine.
呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)可导致老年人(即年龄≥60 岁的人群)发生严重疾病。由于 RSV 预防和治疗的选择有限,因此预防老年人 RSV 介导的疾病仍然是一个重要的未满足的医疗需求。来自先前研究的数据表明,Fc 效应功能对于预防 RSV 感染很重要。在这项工作中,我们表明,在接受 Ad26.RSV.preF/RSV preF 蛋白疫苗的 1/2a 期方案选择研究中,≥60 岁的成年人中诱导了 Ad26.RSV.preF/RSV preF 蛋白的 Fc 效应功能免疫应答。这些结果证明了 Ad26.RSV.preF/RSV preF 蛋白疫苗诱导的免疫应答的广度。
