Article Abstract

ChulaCov19 mRNA vaccine demonstrated promising phase 1 results. Healthy adults aged 18-59 years were double-blind randomised 4:1 to receive two intramuscular doses of ChulaCov19 50 µg or placebo. Primary endpoints were safety and microneutralization antibody against-wild-type (Micro-VNT50) at day 50. One hundred fifty adults with median (IQR) age 37 (30-46) years were randomised. ChulaCov19 was well tolerated, and most adverse events were mild to moderate and temporary. Geometric mean titres (GMT) of neutralizing titre against wild-type for ChulaCov19 on day 50 were 1367 IU/mL. T-cell IFN-γ-ELISpot showed the highest responses at one week (Day29) after dose 2 then gradually declined. ChulaCov19 50 µg is well tolerated and elicited high neutralizing antibodies and strong T-cell responses in healthy adults.Trial registration number: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT04566276, 28/09/2020.

Sea perch is one of the most important fish species farmed in China. However, the frequent outbreak of viral diseases induced by sea perch iridovirus (SPIV) always caused high mortality and heavy economic losses in sea perch aquaculture. Up to now, no effective countermeasures against SPIV infection have been established.

A Safe and Broad-spectrum SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccine with a New Delivery System for In-situ Expression.

Since the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 in late 2019, the cumulative number of confirmed cases worldwide has surpassed 778 million, and the number of deaths has exceeded 7 million, posing a significant threat to human life and health while inflicting enormous losses on the global economy. At the stage where sequential immunization is recommended, there is a pressing demand for mRNA vaccines that can be rapidly adapted to new sequences, are easy to industrialize, and exhibit high safety and effectiveness. We developed a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) system, designated as WNP, which facilitates essentially in situ expression at the injection site and results in lower levels of pro-inflammatory factors in the liver, thus enhancing its safety compared to liver-targeted alternatives.

For some of the COVID-19 vaccines, the drug substances released to market were manufactured differently than those used in clinical trials. Manufacturing nucleoside-modified mRNA (modRNA) for commercial COVID-19 vaccines relies on RNA polymerase transcription of a plasmid DNA template. Previous studies identified high levels of plasmid DNA in vials of modRNA vaccines, suggesting that the removal of residual DNA template is problematic.

As a diverse natural polymer called Chitosan, it created ground-breaking advancements in nucleic acid therapeutic delivery techniques for handling essential DNA and RNA delivery hurdles. The article investigates how nucleic acids form stable polyplexes with chitosan through electrostatic bonds, as well as explores their chemical and biological properties. The review explores how molecular weight, combined with the degree of deacetylation, combined with advanced functionalization strategies, help enhance delivery results.
