Membrane-bound BG505 MD39.3 Env trimer delivered as mRNA-LNP reduced base-directed antibody responses in rabbits and macaques and elicited neutralizing antibodies, with memory B cell responses documented in macaques.

This study shows that intranasal influenza vaccination generates durable local B cell memory in the upper airway, while intramuscular vaccination does not.

This study evaluates the dose-dependent effects of the SMNP adjuvant on HIV Env-specific immune responses in non-human primates, showing increased memory T and B cell responses and neutralizing antibodies at higher doses.
