Vectored Immunoprophylaxis and Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Show abstract
Vectored immunoprophylaxis was first developed as a means to establish engineered immunity to HIV through the use of an adeno-associated viral vector expressing a broadly neutralizing antibody. We have applied this concept to establish long-term prophylaxis against SARS-CoV-2 by adeno-associated and lentiviral vectors expressing a high affinity ACE2 decoy receptor. Administration of decoy-expressing AAV vectors based on AAV2.retro and AAV6.2 by intranasal instillation or intramuscular injection protected mice against high-titered SARS-CoV-2 infection. AAV and lentiviral vectored immunoprophylaxis was durable and active against recent SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants. The AAV vectors were also effective when administered up to 24 hours post-infection. Vectored immunoprophylaxis could be of value for immunocompromised individuals for whom vaccination is not practical and as a means to rapidly establish protection from infection. Unlike monoclonal antibody therapy, the approach is expected to remain active despite continued evolution viral variants.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
