Abstract

Globally, influenza poses a substantial threat to public health, serving as a major contributor to both morbidity and mortality. The current vaccines for seasonal influenza are not optimal. A novel recombinant hemagglutinin (rHA) protein-based quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine, SCVC101, has been developed. SCVC101-S contains standard dose protein (15μg of rHA per virus strain) and an oil-in-water adjuvant, CD-A, which enhances the immunogenicity and cross-protection of the vaccine. Preclinical studies in mice, rats, and rhesus macaques demonstrate that SCVC101-S induces robust humoral and cellular immune responses, surpassing those induced by commercially available vaccines. Notably, a single injection with SCVC101-S can induce a strong immune response in macaques, suggesting the potential for a standard-dose vaccination with a recombinant protein influenza vaccine. Furthermore, SCVC101-S induces cross-protection immune responses against heterologous viral strains, indicating broader protection than current vaccines. In conclusion, SCVC101-S has demonstrated safety and efficacy in preclinical settings and warrants further investigation in human clinical trials. Its potential as a valuable addition to the vaccines against seasonal influenza, particularly for the elderly population, is promising.
