Table 4 Vaccines based on parainfluenza virus vector
Pathogens | Design strategy | Stage | Results | Advantages | Overall concerns | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SARS-CoV | B/HPIV3-S | Hamsters and NHPs | Protected from disease and detectable viral replication | Single dose | \ | |
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 | |
PIV5-S(CVXGA1) | Mice and ferrets | 100% protection or protected from the contact transmission | Single dose; broad spectrum; well-maintained NAbs; mucosal immunity; tissue-resident memory cells | \ | ||
B/HPIV3-prS | Hamsters and NHPs | Protected from disease and detectable viral replication | Single dose; broad spectrum neutralizing; mucosal immunity; spike proteins incorporation | \ | ||
HPIV3-S/S1/RBD | Hamsters | Protected from disease and detectable viral replication | Single dose; HPIV3-S was selected as the best construct in terms of immune response; safe | \ | ||
MERS-CoV | PIV5-S | Mice | 100% protection | Single dose | \ | |
RSV | B/HPIV3-F | Phase I | Immunogenicity and well-tolerated | Single dose; safe; applicable to infants and children; bivalent | \ | |
PIV5-F/G | Mice, cotton rats and NHPs | Protected from disease and detectable viral replication | Single dose; PIV5-F was selected; applicable for RSV-exposed persons | Pre‐fusion RSV‐F do not enhance immune response | ||
IFV | PIV5-HA/NP | Mice | 67–100% protection | Single dose; broad spectrum; optimized insertion site was selected; | Incomplete protection of NA as immunogen | |
Ebola virus | HPIV3-GP/GP + NP | Guinea pigs and NHPs | 100% protection | Single dose; limited effect about pre-existing immunity | Immune response lower than VSV vectored vaccine | |
hPIV2-GP | Mice | NAbs | Low pathogenicity and recurrent infections of parental hPIV2 | \ | ||
Rabies virus | PIV5- G | Mice | 50–100% protection | Single dose; protective immune responses via IN, IM, and OR immunization | \ |
