Abstract
In this study, we presented two strategies for designing an envelope domain III (EDIII)-based tetravalent dengue virus (DENV) vaccine. The first approach was conjugation of the EDIIIs from all four DENV serotypes to a norovirus-like particle (NoV-LP) scaffold, yielding the NoV::tetEDIII vaccine. The second approach linked the EDIIIs of all four serotypes into a single polypeptide chain, which was also conjugated to the NoV-LP scaffold by using the SpyTag/SpyCatcher system, creating the NoV::quartetEDIII vaccine. These tetravalent DENV vaccines were evaluated for their immunogenicity against all DENV serotypes. Both vaccines elicited strong antibody responses against all serotypes in a prime-and-boost immunization regimen. Furthermore, the single-round infectious particle (SRIP) assay demonstrated that these antibodies had neutralizing capabilities superior to those of traditional subunit vaccines. Our study proposes a promising DENV vaccine strategy that may protect against all four serotypes, potentially promoting public health efforts to prevent and control dengue disease.
期刊介绍:
Biomacromolecules is a leading forum for the dissemination of cutting-edge research at the interface of polymer science and biology. Submissions to Biomacromolecules should contain strong elements of innovation in terms of macromolecular design, synthesis and characterization, or in the application of polymer materials to biology and medicine.
Topics covered by Biomacromolecules include, but are not exclusively limited to: sustainable polymers, polymers based on natural and renewable resources, degradable polymers, polymer conjugates, polymeric drugs, polymers in biocatalysis, biomacromolecular assembly, biomimetic polymers, polymer-biomineral hybrids, biomimetic-polymer processing, polymer recycling, bioactive polymer surfaces, original polymer design for biomedical applications such as immunotherapy, drug delivery, gene delivery, antimicrobial applications, diagnostic imaging and biosensing, polymers in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, polymeric scaffolds and hydrogels for cell culture and delivery.
