Abstract

Lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-mRNA vaccines offer protection against COVID-19; however, multiple variant lineages caused widespread breakthrough infections. Here, we generate LNP-mRNAs specifically encoding wild-type (WT), B.1.351, and B.1.617 SARS-CoV-2 spikes, and systematically study their immune responses. All three LNP-mRNAs induced potent antibody and T cell responses in animal models; however, differences in neutralization activity have been observed between variants. All three vaccines offer potent protection against in vivo challenges of authentic viruses of WA-1, Beta, and Delta variants. Single-cell transcriptomics of WT- and variant-specific LNP-mRNA-vaccinated animals reveal a systematic landscape of immune cell populations and global gene expression. Variant-specific vaccination induces a systemic increase of reactive CD8 T cells and altered gene expression programs in B and T lymphocytes. BCR-seq and TCR-seq unveil repertoire diversity and clonal expansions in vaccinated animals. These data provide assessment of efficacy and direct systems immune profiling of variant-specific LNP-mRNA vaccination in vivo.

  • Single-cell technologies shed light on host-pathogen dynamics, immune responses, and advanced therapeutic strategies, especially in COVID-19.

    “In the realm of infectious diseases, the technologies shed light on host-pathogen dynamics, immune responses, and advanced therapeutic strategies, especially in COVID-19 [145, 146, 219–223].”

    From Single-cell sequencing to multi-omics: technologies and applications (2024) · cites this paper as [146]

    The Discussion (page unavailable) says single-cell sequencing mapped immune-cell populations and responses in mice vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2. It does not show single-cell technologies illuminating host–pathogen dynamics or advancing therapeutic strategies; the profiling was of vaccinated animals’ immune cells. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Peng et al. systematically profiled the immune landscape after vaccinating lipid nanoparticle-mRNA using scRNA/TCR/BCR-seq.

    “Through scRNA/TCR/BCR-seq, Peng et al. systematically profiled the immune landscape after vaccinating lipid nanoparticle-mRNA [146].”
  • Combined with scRNA-seq, scBCR-seq has been applied for producing cell atlases, identifying neutralizing antibodies, conducting vaccine studies, and proved invaluable in studies investigating the dynamics of the immune system.

    “Combined with scRNA-seq, scBCR-seq was applied for producing cell atlas [144], identifying different neutralizing antibodies [145], conducting vaccine studies [146], etc., and proved invaluable in studies investigating the dynamics of the immune system.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
