Measles-based Zika vaccine induces long-term immunity and requires NS1 antibodies to protect the female reproductive tract in the hCD46 IFNα/β receptor knockout mice

2020-09-17

Abstract excerpt

Zika virus (ZIKV) can cause devastating effects in the unborn fetus of pregnant women. To develop a candidate vaccine that can protect human fetuses, we generated a panel of live measles vaccine (MV) vectors expressing ZIKV-E and -NS1. Our MV-based ZIKV-E vaccine, MV-E2, protected mice from the non-lethal Zika Asian strain (PRVABC59) and the lethal African strain (MR766) challenge. Despite 100% survival of the MV-...
