Novel Attenuated Chikungunya Vaccine Candidates Elicit Protective Immunity in C57BL/6 mice

Abstract: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a reemerging mosquito-borne alphavirus that has caused severe epidemics in Africa and Asia and occasionally in Europe. As of today, there is no licensed vaccine available to prevent CHIKV infection. Here we describe the development and evaluation of novel CHIKV vaccine candidates that were attenuated by deleting a large part of the gene encoding nsP3 or the entire gene encoding 6K and were administered as viral particles or infectious genomes launched by DNA. The resulting attenuat… Show more

“…In this study ,we evaluated 3 different CHIKV vaccine candidates and regimens in nonhuman primates ( Figure 1A). The first vaccine candidate, Δ5nsP3 (hereafter Δ5), is an attenuated virus in , an infectious attenuated virus carrying a 60 amino acid-long deletion in the nsP3 replicase protein (9). Middle, the DREP-E (D) replicon DNA vaccine (9).…”

“…We recently developed a number of CHIKV vaccine candidates based on the La Reunion (LR-CHIKV) strain of East Central South African (ECSA) genotype. These were able to induce protective immunity against CHIKV infection in mice (8)(9)(10)(11). Here, we have evaluated the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of 3 of those candidates in nonhuman primates.…”

“…We apologize to all whose work could not be referenced because of formatting and length restrictions. Other live-attenuated CHIKV vaccine strategies include deletions in viral genes (187,188), modification of glycosaminoglycan binding (138), alphavirus chimeras (189,190), and codon alteration (191). As reversion is a major safety concern with live-attenuated vaccines, a CHIKV vaccine containing a combination of attenuation strategies could diminish reversion and pathogenicity.…”
