Microneedle patch delivery to the skin of virus-like particles containing heterologous M2e extracellular domains of influenza virus induces broad heterosubtypic cross-protection

Abstract: A broadly cross-protective influenza vaccine that can be administrated by a painless self-immunization method would be a value as a potential universal mass vaccination strategy. This study developed a minimally-invasive microneedle (MN) patch for skin vaccination with virus-like particles containing influenza virus heterologous M2 extracellular (M2e) domains (M2e5x VLPs) as a universal vaccine candidate without adjuvants. The stability of M2e5x VLP-coated microneedles was maintained for 8 weeks at room temper… Show more

“…To prepare “out-of-plane” MN, stainless steel MN were first manually pushed out of the sheet using either forceps or a hypodermic needle and then bent at 90° angle with the aid of a single-edged razor blade. Stainless steel microneedles can also be made by wet-etching photolithographically defined needle structures from stainless steel sheets [ 30 ]. The authors used these MN to deliver a vaccine based on virus-like particles containing influenza virus heterologous M2 extracellular (M2e) domains (M2e5xVLPs).…”

“…The efficacy of influenza VLP vaccines via MN skin route was higher than that with IM immunization by enabling dose-sparing effects and rapid recall immune responses [2123]. In addition, microneedle-based immunization using influenza VLP vaccines could have logistic advantages associated with avoidance of hypodermic needles and syringes, potential for rapid distribution and administration of microneedle patches, indicating a great impact on improving vaccination efficacy, coverage, and public health.…”
