A Novel Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) F Subunit Vaccine Adjuvanted with GLA-SE Elicits Robust Protective TH1-Type Humoral and Cellular Immunity In Rodent Models

Abstract

These studies indicate that a protein subunit vaccine consisting of RSV sF + GLA-SE can induce robust neutralizing antibody and T cell responses to RSV, enhancing viral clearance via a TH1 immune-mediated mechanism. This vaccine may benefit older populations at risk for RSV disease.
