We compared the protective effects of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines derived from the ancestral and the currently circulating BA.5.2 strains against infection with multiple variants in Syrian golden hamsters. Vaccination with BA.5.2 effectively protected against infection with the Omicron subvariants including XBB.1, but not the Alpha or Delta variant. In contrast, hamsters vaccinated with the ancestral strain demonstrated decent neutralization activity against both the Omicron and non-Omicron variants. Our findings might instruct future design and formulation of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.
我们比较了源自原始毒株和当前流行的BA.5.2毒株的灭活新冠病毒疫苗对叙利亚金黄地鼠感染多种变体的保护作用。用BA.5.2疫苗接种可有效预防包括XBB.1在内的奥密克戎亚变体感染,但对阿尔法或德尔塔变体无效。相比之下,用原始毒株接种的地鼠对奥密克戎和非奥密克戎变体均表现出良好的中和活性。我们的研究结果可能为未来新冠病毒疫苗的设计和配方提供指导。
