Study Type/Review: vaccine
NPRC/Institute: USAMRIID; Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine; Walter Reed Army Institute of Research
Keywords: SARS-CoV-2, spike ferritin nanoparticle vaccine, immune response, primates
Summary of Study: Two adjuvants were compared (ALFQ and AIOH3): Robust humoral and cellular immunological responses were observed for vaccinated animals, with the ALFQ-adjuvanted group generating a significantly higher response compared ot the AIOH3 group. Vaccination with either adjuvant resulted in fewer clinical signs of disease compared to controls, including a significant reduction in lesions and virus replication in the lungs.

NPRC/Institute: University of Illinois College of Medicine
Keywords: SARS-CoV-2, transcriptomic profiling, lung endothelial cells, primates
Summary of Study: The specific genes that distinguished immuneEC and devEC populations in the NHP lungs after SARS-CoV-2 infection were different from the endotoxemic mouse lung. This may reflect either species differences or different injury-specific responses (bacterial endotoxin vs. SARS-CoV-2).

Study Type/Review:
NPRC/Institute: Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center; Department of Medicine, University of Washington
Keywords: SARS-CoV-2, remdesivir, math modeling, antiviral potency, nasal passages, lungs, primates
Summary of Study: In rhesus macaques, the nonlinear forces governing SARS-CoV-2 viral load trajectories in the lung and nasal passages differ substantially in the presence of a partially effective antiviral therapy. To the extent that the rhesus macaque model approximates human infection, nasal viral load remains a promising surrogate endpoint marker but perhaps only in the context of a highly potent antiviral therapy.

Keywords: SARS-CoV-2, mRNA-1273 vaccine, respiratory tract, inflammation, primates
Summary of Study: This study defines the lower respiratory tract cellular and transcriptional signature associated with SARS-CoV-2 in macaques using two distinct viral variants, and identifies conserved signatures of vaccine-elicited protection from infection-attendant inflammation. These date emphasize the contribution of inflammatory/migratory DCs and macrophages to lower respiratory tract inflammation following SARS-CoV-2 infection, and define a critical relationship between antibody titers, post-challenge viral burden, and broad infection-elicited inflammation.
