The mRNA vaccine is an innovative new platform that can be developed rapidly, offering a robust tool to managing infectious diseases like COVID-19. However, non-clinical evaluations are essential for safety use. In this study, the efficacy, general toxicity, and safety pharmacology of a novel multivalent mRNA-encapsulated lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccine (RGV-DO-003) were evaluated using a focus reduction neutralization test (FRNT), virus challenge test, single- and repeated-dose studies, immunogenicity tests, and neurobehavioral, body temperature, respiratory, and cardiovascular system assessments in experimental animals. The administration route was intramuscular, and the vaccine doses were 5 and 50 μg/head for each efficacy test and toxicity study. Neutralizing antibodies were observed in the vaccinated group through FRNT and virus challenge tests. Macroscopic observations revealed a tendency for the lung lesion area to decrease in the vaccinated group. In the general toxicity study, mild symptoms were observed at the injection site in the vaccine administration group. Immunogenicity analysis revealed an increase in the binding antibody titer in the vaccine-administered group. Safety pharmacology study revealed no significant toxicological changes associated with LNP or vaccine administration. Overall, the RGV-DO-003 mRNA vaccine is effective and safe under experimental conditions, suggesting it is a potential candidate for clinical trials.
信使核糖核酸(mRNA)疫苗是一种能够快速研发的创新型新平台,为应对像新冠病毒病(COVID-19)这样的传染病提供了一种强有力的工具。然而,非临床评估对于安全使用至关重要。在本研究中,使用蚀斑减少中和试验(FRNT)、病毒攻击试验、单剂量和重复剂量研究、免疫原性试验以及对实验动物的神经行为、体温、呼吸和心血管系统评估,对一种新型多价mRNA包裹脂质纳米颗粒(LNP)疫苗(RGV-DO-003)的疗效、一般毒性和安全药理学进行了评估。给药途径为肌肉注射,每次疗效试验和毒性研究的疫苗剂量为5和50μg/只。通过FRNT和病毒攻击试验在接种组中观察到中和抗体。大体观察显示接种组肺损伤面积有减小趋势。在一般毒性研究中,疫苗给药组在注射部位观察到轻微症状。免疫原性分析显示疫苗给药组结合抗体滴度升高。安全药理学研究显示未发现与LNP或疫苗给药相关的显著毒理学变化。总体而言,RGV-DO-003 mRNA疫苗在实验条件下有效且安全,表明它是临床试验的一个潜在候选疫苗。
