摘要: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes acute illness characterized by fever and long-lasting arthritic symptoms. The need for a safe effective vaccine against CHIKV infections is on the rise due to on-going vector spread increasing severity of clinical complications. Here we report results comparative vaccination-challenge experiment in mice using three different candidates produced insect cells recombinant baculoviruses: (i) secreted (s)E1 (ii) sE2 glycoprotein subunits (2 μg/immunization), (iii) virus-like particles (VLPs) (1 μg E2 equivalent/immunization). These experiments show that vaccination with two subsequent administrations 1 Matrix M adjuvanted VLPs completely protected AG129 from lethal challenge. Vaccination E1 provided partial protection, half surviving but significantly lower neutralizing antibody titres as compared VLP vaccinated mice. This study provides evidence even modest response sufficient protect infections. Neutralization was prominent correlate protection. In addition, provide superior immune protection CHIKV-induced disease individual CHIKV-sE1 -sE2 subunits.
