Abstract
Several formulations of a recombinant chimeric respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine consisting of the extramembrane domains of the F and G glycoproteins (FG) were tested in cotton rats to evaluate efficacy and safety. The FG vaccine was highly immunogenic, providing nearly complete resistance to pulmonary infection at doses as low as 25 ng in spite of inducing relatively low levels of serum neutralizing antibody at low vaccine doses. Upon RSV challenge animals primed with FG vaccine showed quite mild alveolitis and interstitial pneumonitis, which were eliminated by the addition of monophosphoryl lipid A to the formulation.Entities:
