  • Beschreibung: <jats:p> The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants stresses the continued need for next-generation vaccines that confer broad protection against coronavirus disease 2019. We developed and evaluated an adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 spike ferritin nanoparticle (SpFN) vaccine in nonhuman primates. High-dose (50-μg) SpFN vaccine, given twice 28 days apart, induced a T helper cell 1 (T <jats:sub>H</jats:sub> 1)–biased CD4 T <jats:sub>H</jats:sub> response and elicited neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 wild type and variants of concern, as well as against SARS-CoV-1. These potent humoral and cell-mediated immune responses translated into rapid elimination of replicating virus in the upper and lower airways and lung parenchyma of nonhuman primates after high-dose SARS-CoV-2 respiratory challenge. The immune response elicited by SpFN vaccination and resulting efficacy in nonhuman primates support the utility of SpFN as a vaccine candidate for SARS-causing betacoronaviruses. </jats:p>
