Résumé

A third vaccine dose is often required to achieve potent, long-lasting immune responses. We investigated the effect of three 8-μg doses of CVnCoV, CureVac's severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine candidate containing sequence-optimized unmodified mRNA encoding the spike (S) glycoprotein, administered at 0, 4, and 28 weeks, on immune responses in rhesus macaques. After the third dose, S-specific binding and neutralizing antibodies increased 50-fold compared with post-dose 2 levels, with increased responses also evident in the lower airways and against the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 (Alpha), B.1.351 (Beta), P.1 (Gamma), and B.1.617.2 (Delta) variants. Enhanced binding affinity of serum antibodies after the third dose correlated with higher somatic hypermutation in S-specific B cells, corresponding with improved binding properties of monoclonal antibodies expressed from isolated B cells. Administration of low-dose mRNA led to fewer cells expressing antigen
