Abstract:
Background: Since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, there have been mutations caused by new SARS-CoV-2 variants, such as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron, recognized as the VOC worldwide. These variants can affect vaccine efficacy, disease control, and treatment effectiveness. The present study aimed to evaluate the levels of total and neutralizing antibodies produced by PastoCoAd vaccine candidates against the VOC strains at different time points.
Methods: Two vaccine candidates were employed against SARS-CoV-2 using adenoviral vectors: prime only (a mixture of rAd5-S and rAd5 RBD-N) and heterologous prime-boost (rAd5-S/SOBERANA vaccine). The immunogenicity of these vaccine candidates was assessed in mouse, rabbit, and hamster models using ELISA assay and virus neutralization antibody test.
Results: The immunogenicity results indicated a significant increase in both total and neutralizing antibodies titers in the groups receiving the vaccine candidates at various time points compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The results also showed that the PastoCoAd vaccine candidates Ad5 S & RBD-N and Ad5 S/SOBERANA could neutralize the VOC strains in the animal models.
Conclusion: The ability of vaccine candidate to neutralize the VOC strains in animal models by generating neutralizing antibodies at different time points may be attributed to the use of the platform based on the Adenoviral vector, the N proteins in the Ad5 S & RBD-N vaccine candidate, and the SOBERANA Plus booster in the Ad5 S/SOBERANA vaccine candidate.
