Protection against live rotavirus challenge in mice induced by parenteral and mucosal delivery of VP6 subunit rotavirus vaccine

TLDR
A non-live combined RV – norovirus (NoV) vaccine candidate consisting of human RV inner-capsid rVP6 protein and NoV virus-like particles is developed, and at least 65 % protection against RV shedding was observed regardless of delivery route.
Abstract
Live oral rotavirus (RV) vaccines are part of routine childhood immunization but are associated with adverse effects, particularly intussusception. We have developed a non-live combined RV – norovirus (NoV) vaccine candidate consisting of human RV inner-capsid rVP6 protein and NoV virus-like particles. To determine the effect of delivery route on induction of VP6-specific protective immunity, BALB/c mice were administered a vaccine containing RV rVP6 intramuscularly, intranasally or a combination of both, and challenged with murine RV. At least 65 % protection against RV shedding was observed regardless of delivery route. The levels of post-challenge serum VP6-specific IgA titers correlated with protection.

Decreased performance of live attenuated, oral rotavirus vaccines in low-income settings: causes and contributing factors.

TL;DR: The factors that might contribute to the low vaccine efficacy are reviewed, including passive transfer of maternal rotav virus antibodies, rotavirus seasonality, oral polio vaccine (OPV) administered concurrently, microbiome composition and concomitant enteric pathogens, malnutrition, environmental enteropathy, HIV, and histo blood group antigens.

TL;DR: The road to formulation of an effective and safe NoV vaccine seems to be definitively traced, but many problems still need to be solved before the total burden of NoV infections can be adequately controlled.

Contribution of Maternal Immunity to Decreased Rotavirus Vaccine Performance in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

TL;DR: The role of maternal immunity, received by infants either transplacentally or orally from breast milk, in rotavirus vaccine (RV) performance is evaluated here and higher levels of transplacental rotav virus-specific IgG antibody contribute to reduced vaccine seroconversion.

The influence of antigen organization on B cell responsiveness

TL;DR: In VSV-G (IND) transgenic mice, B cells were unresponsive to the poorly organized VSV -G (ind) present as self antigen but responded promptly to the same antigen presented in the highly organized form.
