SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) Protein-Protein Conjugate Induces Similar or Better Antibody Responses as Spike mRNA in Rhesus Macaques. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaccines (Basel)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 2025 Jun 17, 13(6):648. PMID: 40573979<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This study demonstrates that an RBD-EcoCRM conjugate vaccine adjuvanted with AS01 can induce robust, high-quality antibody responses in rhesus macaques that are comparable or superior to those elicited by the approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer\/BioNTech BNT162b2).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conjugate vaccine elicited strong binding, neutralizing, and inhibiting antibodies against the virus and its variants, with immune responses persisting for at least six months post-vaccination. The conjugate vaccine with AS01 adjuvant produced higher or similar levels of serum antibodies, virus neutralization activity, and binding inhibition against SARS-CoV-2 variants. Additionally, the conjugate vaccine elicited antibody responses against both the RBD and full-length Spike proteins, with some indications of broader epitope recognition, which might contribute to its efficacy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One notable aspect is the durability of the immune response; the antibody levels and neutralization activity, although waning over time, remained higher or comparable in the conjugate group relative to the mRNA group at later time points, such as 6 months post-vaccination. Furthermore, the subclass profile of antibodies induced by the conjugate vaccine (more IgG2 and IgG4 over time) and the natural waning of antibody levels may influence the long-term protection differently.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Importantly, the potential advantages include better safety profiles, easier manufacturing, stability, and adaptability to viral evolution, making the AS01b-adjuvanted conjugate vaccine a promising alternative, especially in settings where mRNA vaccines might pose logistical challenges or have safety concerns. The conjugate vaccines are effective, scalable, and possibly more accessible alternatives for COVID-19 immunization, especially in low- and middle-income settings. However, direct head-to-head comparative efficacy data in humans would be necessary for definitive conclusions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/40573979\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to access the full scientific paper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t#sfba_subscribe_form_451 .subscribeform1 {\r\n\t\t\t\t\twidth: 512px;\r\n\t\t\t\t\tborder: 0px solid rgba(0,0,0,0);\r\n\t\t\t\t\tfont-family: 'Verdana';\r\n\t\t\t\t\tbackground-color: #759e2c;\r\n\t\t\t\t\tbackground-image: url('');\r\n\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t#sfba_subscribe_form_451 #sfba-main-form-container.subscribeform1 .sfba-form-sub-heading {\r\n\t\t\t\t\tcolor: #102341;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t#sfba_subscribe_form_451 #sfba-main-form-container.subscribeform1 .sfba-form-privacy-heading {\r\n\t\t\t\t\tcolor: ;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t#sfba_subscribe_form_451 #sfba-main-form-container.subscribeform1 .sfba-form-heading {\r\n\t\t\t\t\tcolor: #ffffff;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t#sfba_subscribe_form_451 .subscribeform1 .sfba_subscribe_form__fields .sfba-form-fields {\r\n\t\t\t\t\tborder-color: rgba(0,0,0,0);\r\n\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t#sfba_subscribe_form_451 .subscribeform1 .sfba-form-consent-fields-main label,\r\n\t\t\t\t#sfba_subscribe_form_451 .subscribeform1 .sfba-form-consent-fields-main {\r\n\t\t\t\t\tcolor: #ffffff;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t#sfba_subscribe_form_451 .subscribeform1 #sfba-form-button {\r\n\t\t\t\t\tbackground-color: #4c6938;\r\n\t\t\t\t\tcolor: #ffffff;\r\n\t\t\t\t\tfont-size: 14px;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t.subscribeform6 #sfba-form-button {\r\n\t\t\t\t\tbackground-image: url(https:\/\/desertking.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-subscribe-forms-pro\/includes\/..\/images\/sent.png);\r\n\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\tinput.sfba-form-fields::placeholder { \/ Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari 10.1+ \/\r\n\t\t\t\t  color: #7E7E7E;\r\n\t\t\t\t  opacity: 1;
