  • the present disclosure relates to methods and agents for vaccination against coronavirus infection and inducing effective coronavirus antigen-specific immune responses, such as antibody and/or T cell responses. These methods and agents are particularly useful in preventing or treating coronavirus infections.
  • This disclosure also describes methods for preparing the vaccines and immunological evaluation of the vaccines.
  • the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a new strain of coronavirus that has never been found in humans before. This virus is the seventh coronavirus (CoV) that can infect humans.
  • the incubation period for human infection with SARS-CoV-2 is generally 1 to 14 days. Common signs after infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. In more severe cases, the infection can lead to pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and even death.
  • the latest data from the WHO website shows that as of November 26, 2021, a total of 259,502,031 confirmed cases and 5,183,003 deaths have been reported globally.
  • the new coronavirus is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA ((+)ssRNA) enveloped virus encoding four structural proteins: spike protein (S), envelope protein (E), membrane protein (M) and nucleocapsid protein (N).

  • New coronavirus vaccines currently on the market and under development mainly include mRNA vaccines, inactivated vaccines, adenovirus vector vaccines, DNA vaccines, recombinant protein vaccines, etc.
  • mRNA epidemic Vaccines deliver in vitro-transcribed mRNA to cells, where they are translated to produce proteins, thereby stimulating the body's specific immune response.
  • mRNA vaccines do not need to enter the nucleus and are only expressed in the cytoplasm, so there is no risk of insertional mutations in the host genome.
  • the rapid, simple preparation method and low cost of mRNA are also one of the advantages of vaccines, which greatly shortens the response time to respond to sudden infectious diseases and reduces the cost of prevention and control.
