    Abstract Summary: Currently approved COVID-19 vaccines administered parenterally induce robust systemic humoral and cellular responses. While highly effective against severe disease, there is reduced effectiveness of these vaccines in preventing breakthrough infection and/or onward transmission, likely due to poor immunity elicited at the respiratory mucosa. As such, there has been considerable interest in developing novel mucosal vaccines that engenders more localised immune responses to provide better protection and recall responses at the site of virus entry, in contrast to traditional vaccine approaches that focus on systemic immunity. In this review, we explore the adaptive components of mucosal immunity, evaluate epidemiological studies to dissect if mucosal immunity conferred by parenteral vaccination or respiratory infection drives differential efficacy against virus acquisition or transmission, discuss mucosal vaccines undergoing clinical trials and assess key challenges and prospects for mucosal vaccine development.

    Abstract Employing monoclonal antibodies to target vaccine antigens to different immune cells within lymph nodes where adaptive immunity is initiated can provide a mechanism to fine-tune the magnitude or the quality of immune responses. However, studying the effects of different targeting antibodies head-to-head is challenging due to the lack of a feasible method that allows rapid screening of multiple antibodies for their impact on immunogenicity. Here self-assembling ferritin nanoparticles are prepared that co-display vaccine antigens and the Fc-binding domain of Staphylococcal protein A, allowing rapid attachment of soluble antibodies to the nanoparticle surface. Using this tunable system, ten antibodies targeting different immune cell subsets are screened, with targeting to Clec9a associated with higher serum antibody titers after immunization. Immune cell targeting using ferritin nanoparticles with anti-Clec9a antibodies drives concentrated deposition of antigens within germinal centers, boosting germinal center formation and robust antibody responses. However, the capacity to augment humoral immunity is antigen-dependent, with significant boosting observed for prototypic ovalbumin immunogens but reduced effectiveness with the SARS-CoV-2 RBD. This work provides a rapid platform for screening targeting antibodies, which will accelerate mechanistic insights into optimal delivery strategies for nanoparticle-based vaccines to maximize protective immunity.

    Abstract Humans are exposed to influenza virus through periodic infections. Due to these repeated exposures, human populations commonly have elevated antibody titers targeting the conserved internal influenza virus nucleoprotein (NP). Despite the presence of anti-NP antibodies, humans are acutely susceptible to drifted influenza viruses with antigenically different surface proteins and the protective potential of human NP antibodies is unclear. In this study, high levels of anti-NP antibody and NP-specific B cells were detected in both adult humans and influenza-infected mice, confirming that NP is a major target of humoral immunity. Through sorting single B cells from influenza-exposed human adults, we generated a panel of 11 anti-NP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The majority of anti-NP human mAbs generated were capable of engaging cellular Fc receptors and bound NP on the surface of influenza-infected cell lines in vitro, suggesting that anti-NP mAbs have the potential to mediate downstream Fc effector functions such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent phagocytosis. However, human anti-NP mAbs were not protective in vivo when passively transferred into a murine influenza challenge model. Future in vivo studies examining the synergistic effect of anti-NP mAbs infused with other influenza-specific mAbs are warranted.

    Abstract Countermeasures against Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemics are urgently needed. In this study we generated a ZIKV virus-like particle (VLP) based vaccine candidate and assessed the immunogenicity of these particles in mice. The ZIKV-VLPs were morphologically similar to ZIKV by electron microscopy and were recognized by anti-Flavivirus neutralising antibodies. We observed that a single dose of unadjuvanted ZIKV-VLPs, or inactivated ZIKV, generated an immune response that lasted over 6 months, but did not neutralize ZIKV infection of cells in vitro. However, when we co-administered the ZIKV VLPs with either Aluminium hydroxide (Alhydrogel®; Alum), AddaVax or Pam

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has illustrated the potential for monoclonal antibody therapeutics as prophylactic and therapeutic agents against pandemic viruses. No such therapeutics currently exist for other human coronaviruses. NL63 is a human alphacoronavirus that typically causes the common cold and uses the same receptor, ACE2, as the highly pathogenic SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 pandemic viruses. In a cohort of healthy adults, we characterised humoral responses against the NL63 spike protein. While NL63 spike and receptor binding domain-specific binding antibodies and neutralisation activity could be detected in plasma of all subjects, memory B cells against NL63 spike were variable and relatively low in frequency compared to that against SARS-CoV-2 spike. From these donors, we isolated a panel of antibodies against NL63 spike and characterised their neutralising potential. We identified potent neutralising antibodies that recognised the receptor binding domain (RBD) and other non-RBD epitopes within spike.

    Abstract Reformulating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines with variant strains is being pursued to combat the global surge in infections. We hypothesize that this may be suboptimal due to immune imprinting from earlier vaccination or infection with the original SARS-CoV-2 strain. New strategies may be needed to improve efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 variant vaccines.
