Mosaic quadrivalent influenza vaccine single nanoparticle characterization.

ABSTRACT: Recent work by our laboratory and others indicates that co-display of multiple antigens on protein-based nanoparticles may be key to induce cross-reactive antibodies that provide broad protection against disease. To reach the ultimate goal of a universal vaccine for seasonal influenza, a mosaic influenza nanoparticle vaccine (FluMos-v1) was developed for clinical trial (NCT04896086). FluMos-v1 is unique in that it is designed to co-display four recently circulating haemagglutinin (HA) strains; however, current vaccine analysis techniques are limited to nanoparticle population analysis, thus, are unable to determine the valency of an individual nanoparticle. For the first time, we demonstrate by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy and supportive physical-chemical methods that
