Immunization with a Prefusion SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Vaccine (RBMRNA-176) Protects against Viral Challenge in Mice and Nonhuman Primates.

There is an urgent need for a broad-spectrum and protective vaccine due to the emergence and rapid spreading of more contagious SARS-CoV-2 strains. We report the development of RBMRNA-176, a pseudouridine (Ψ) nucleoside-modified mRNA-LNP vaccine encoding pre-fusion stabilized trimeric SARS-CoV-2 spike protein ectodomain, and evaluate its immunogenicity and protection against virus challenge in mice and nonhuman primates. A prime-boost immunization with RBMRNA-176 at intervals of 21 days resulted in high IgG titers (over 1:819,000 endpoint dilution) and a CD4+ Th1-biased immune response in mice.
