Development of T cell antigen-based human coronavirus vaccines against nAb-escaping SARS-CoV-2 variants

Currently approved vaccines have been successful in preventing the severity of COVID-19 and hospital-ization.These vaccines primarily induce humoral immune responses;however,highly transmissible and mutated variants,such as the Omicron variant,weaken the neutralization potential of the vaccines,thus,raising serious concerns about their efficacy.Additionally,while neutralizing antibodies(nAbs)tend to wane more rapidly than cell-mediated immunity,long-lasting T cells typically prevent severe viral illness by directly killing infected cells or aiding other immune cells.Importantly,T cells are more cross-reactive than antibodies,thus,highly mutated variants are less likely to escape lasting broadly cross-reactive T cell immunity.Therefore,T cell antigen-based human coronavirus(HCoV)vaccines with the potential to serve as a supplementary weapon to combat emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants with resistance to nAbs are urgently needed.Alternatively,T cell antigens could also be included in B cell antigen-based vaccines to strengthen vaccine efficacy.This review summarizes recent advancements in research and develop-ment of vaccines containing T cell antigens or both T and B cell antigens derived from proteins of SARS-CoV-2 variants and/or other HCoVs based on different vaccine platforms.
