    Abstract Influenza viruses initiate infection via specific interactions of hemagglutinin (HA) with host cell surface sialic acid-containing glycans. Antigenic drift has resulted in HA amino acid sequence changes that affect binding properties for sialic acids. Further, viral propagation in eggs and cell culture for vaccine production can yield variants with mutations that affect the conformation and affinity of HA for sialic acids. Therefore, influenza vaccine researchers and manufacturers need robust analytical methods to assess directly the ability of vaccine candidates to bind to their specific sialic acid ligand. We developed a surface plasmon resonance method that uses an extended, biantennary glycan terminating with α-2,6 linked sialic acids to bind influenza HA and assess this interaction. Recombinant HA (rHA) from both influenza A and B viruses isolated from 1999 to 2017 strongly and specifically bind this sialic acid ligand, suggesting the binding ability of divergent HA for this ligand is resistant to antigenic drift. Importantly, the method can differentiate between wild type and mutant rHA for which binding to this sialylated glycan and red blood cells in hemagglutination assays is compromised. We believe this method can be a powerful tool to screen influenza A and B vaccine candidates and final vaccine preparations for their functional ability to bind sialic acids, which allows manufacturers to identify preparations in which mutations that affect sialic acid binding have arisen during propagation. Evaluation of vaccine rHA antigen integrity by confirmation of the receptor binding site functionality is a prudent cautionary step to assure the antigenic quality of seasonal influenza vaccines.

    Abstract Emerging variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) show immune evasion of vaccine-derived immunity, highlighting the need for better clinical immunogenicity biomarkers. To address this need, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based, human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) binding inhibition assay was developed to measure antibodies against the ancestral strain of SARS-CoV-2 and was validated for precision, specificity, linearity, and other parameters. This assay measures the inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein binding to the receptor, hACE2, by serum from vaccine clinical trials. Inter- and intra-assay precision, specificity, linearity, lower limit of quantitation, and assay robustness parameters successfully met the acceptance criteria. Heme and lipid matrix effects showed minimal interference on the assay. Samples were stable for testing in the assay even with 8 freeze/thaws and up to 24 months in -80 °C storage. The assay was also adapted for variants (Delta and Omicron BA.1/BA.5), with similar validation results. The hACE2 assay showed significant correlation with anti-recombinant S immunoglobulin G levels and neutralizing antibody titers. This assay provides a rapid, high-throughput option to evaluate vaccine immunogenicity. Along with other clinical biomarkers, it can provide valuable insights into immune evasion and correlates of protection and enable vaccine development against emerging COVID-19 variants.

    Abstract Influenza vaccine effectiveness varies annually due to the fast evolving seasonal influenza A(H3N2) strain and egg-derived mutations-both of which can cause a mismatch between the vaccine and circulating strains. To address these limitations, we have developed a hemagglutinin (HA)-based protein-detergent nanoparticle influenza vaccine (NIV) with a saponin-based Matrix-M™ adjuvant. In a phase 1 clinical trial of older adults, the vaccine demonstrated broadly cross-reactive A(H3N2) HA antibody responses. Two broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies derived from NIV-immunized mice were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), antibody competition assays, fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis, and protein-protein docking. These antibodies recognize two conserved regions of the head domain, namely the receptor binding site and the vestigial esterase subdomain, thus demonstrating the potential for an HA subunit vaccine to elicit antibodies targeting structurally and antigenically distinct but conserved sites. Antibody competition studies with sera from the phase 1 trial in older adults confirmed that humans also make antibodies to these two head domains and against the highly conserved stem domain. This data supports the potential of an adjuvanted recombinant HA nanoparticle vaccine to induce broadly protective immunity and improved vaccine efficacy.

    Abstract SARS-CoV-2 variants have emerged with elevated transmission and a higher risk of infection for vaccinated individuals. We demonstrate that a recombinant prefusion-stabilized spike (rS) protein vaccine based on Beta/B.1.351 (rS-Beta) produces a robust anamnestic response in baboons against SARS-CoV-2 variants when given as a booster one year after immunization with NVX-CoV2373. Additionally, rS-Beta is highly immunogenic in mice and produces neutralizing antibodies against WA1/2020, Beta/B.1.351, and Omicron/BA.1. Mice vaccinated with two doses of Novavax prototype NVX-CoV2373 (rS-WU1) or rS-Beta alone, in combination, or heterologous prime-boost, are protected from challenge. Virus titer is undetectable in lungs in all vaccinated mice, and Th1-skewed cellular responses are observed. We tested sera from a panel of variant spike protein vaccines and find broad neutralization and inhibition of spike:ACE2 binding from the rS-Beta and rS-Delta vaccines against a variety of variants including Omicron. This study demonstrates that rS-Beta vaccine alone or in combination with rS-WU1 induces antibody-and cell-mediated responses that are protective against challenge with SARS-CoV-2 variants and offers broader neutralizing capacity than a rS-WU1 prime/boost regimen alone. Together, these nonhuman primate and murine data suggest a Beta variant booster dose could elicit a broad immune response to fight new and future SARS-CoV-2 variants.

    Abstract Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants, young children, and older adults. There is no licensed vaccine and prophylactic treatment options are limited. The RSV fusion (F) glycoprotein is a target of host immunity and thus a focus for vaccine development. F-trimers are metastable and undergo significant rearrangements from the prefusion to a stable postfusion structure with neutralizing epitopes on intermediate structures. We hypothesize that vaccine strategies that recapitulate the breathable F quaternary structure, and provide accessibility of B-cells to epitopes on intermediate conformations, may collectively contribute to protective immunity, while rigid prefusion F structures restrict access to key protective epitopes. To test this hypothesis, we used the near full-length prefusogenic F as a backbone to construct three prefusion F variants with substitutions in the hydrophobic head cavity: (1) disulfide bond mutant (DS), (2) space filling hydrophobic amino acid substitutions (Cav1), and (3) DS, Cav1 double mutant (DS-Cav1). In this study, we compared the immunogenicity of prefusogenic F to prefusion F variants in two animal models. Native prefusogenic F was significantly more immunogenic, producing high titer antibodies to prefusogenic, prefusion, and postfusion F structures, while animals immunized with DS or DS-Cav1 produced antibodies to prefusion F. Importantly, prefusogenic F elicited antibodies that target neutralizing epitopes including prefusion-specific site zero (Ø) and V and conformation-independent neutralizing sites II and IV. Immunization with DS or DS-Cav1 elicited antibodies primarily to prefusion-specific sites Ø and V with little or no antibodies to other key neutralizing sites. Animals immunized with prefusogenic F also had significantly higher levels of antibodies that cross-neutralized RSV A and B subtypes, while immunization with DS or DS-Cav1 produced antibodies primarily to the A subtype. We conclude that breathable trimeric vaccines that closely mimic the native F-structure, and incorporate strategies for B-cell accessibility to protective epitopes, are important considerations for vaccine design. F structures locked in a single conformation restrict access to neutralizing epitopes that may collectively contribute to destabilizing F-trimers important for broad protection. These results also have implications for vaccine strategies targeting other type 1 integral membrane proteins.

    Abstract There is an urgent need for a safe and protective vaccine to control the global spread of SARS-CoV-2 and prevent COVID-19. Here, we report the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of a SARS-CoV-2 subunit vaccine (NVX-CoV2373) produced from the full-length SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein stabilized in the prefusion conformation. Cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis) immunized with NVX-CoV2373 and the saponin-based Matrix-M™ adjuvant induced anti-S antibody that was neutralizing and blocked binding to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) receptor. Following intranasal and intratracheal challenge with SARS-CoV-2, immunized macaques were protected against upper and lower infection and pulmonary disease. These results support ongoing phase 1/2 clinical studies of the safety and immunogenicity of NVX-CoV2327 vaccine (NCT04368988).

    Abstract Globally, human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of severe lower respiratory infection in infants and young children. There are no licensed vaccines despite the high worldwide disease burden. RSV fusion (F) glycoprotein vaccine is the most advanced candidate for maternal immunization. In this report, a baboon maternal immunization model was used to assess the immunogenicity and protection of infants against pulmonary challenge with human RSV/A. Vaccination in the third trimester produced high anti-RSV F IgG titers and virus-neutralizing antibodies. Infants born to immunized females had high levels of serum RSV antibodies that were comparable to maternal levels at birth and persisted for over 50 days with a half-life of 14–24 days. Furthermore, infants from immunized females and challenged with RSV/A were healthy, developed less severe disease, and had only mild pulmonary inflammatory changes whereas infants born to non-vaccinated females developed more severe disease with marked to moderate interstitial pneumonia, pulmonary edema, and bronchiolar obstruction. These results support the further development of the RSV F vaccine for maternal immunization.
