Hamsters and NHPs

Protected from disease and detectable viral replication

Single dose

\

159,168

SARS-CoV-2

hPIV2-prS

Mice and hamsters

Protected from disease and detectable viral replication

Single dose; massive spike proteins incorporation; mucosal immunity

Two doses needed to complete protection in nasal turbinates

160

PIV5-S(CVXGA1)

Mice and ferrets

100% protection or protected from the contact transmission

\

161,164

B/HPIV3-prS

Hamsters and NHPs

Protected from disease and detectable viral replication

Single dose; broad spectrum neutralizing; mucosal immunity; spike proteins incorporation

\

39,165

HPIV3-S/S1/RBD

Hamsters

Protected from disease and detectable viral replication
