Precision-engineered STING agonist nanoparticles enable coordinated mucosal-systemic immunity for durable pan-β-coronavirus protection

Nanoparticle engineering for vaccine delivery, presenting translational research on design principles and immunological targeting; expect detailed experimental and analytical insights.

Key Takeaways
  • Major barrier in mucosal vaccine development is achieving localized immunity without systemic toxicity
  • Here we engineered NanoCF501, a nanoparticulate STING agonist formulated with a 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline polymer
  • NanoCF501 facilitates efficient mucus penetration and localized respiratory retention
