Modified PEG-Lipids Enhance the Nasal Mucosal Immune Capacity of Lipid Nanoparticle mRNA Vaccines.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesOmicron, the predominant variant of SARS-CoV-2, exhibits strong immune-evasive properties, leading to the reduced efficacy of existing vaccines. Consequently, the development of versatile vaccines is imperative. Intranasal mRNA vaccines offer convenient administration and have the potential to enhance mucosal immunity. However, delivering vaccines via the nasal mucosa requires overcoming complex physiological barriers. The aim of this study is to modify PEGylated lipids to enhance the mucosal immune efficacy of the vaccine.
methodsThe PEGylated lipid component of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery vectors was modified with chitosan or mannose to generate novel LNPs that enhance vaccine adhesion or targeting on mucosal surfaces. The impact of the mRNA encoding the receptor-binding domain of Omicron BA.4/BA.5 on the immune response was examined.
resultsCompared to the unmodified LNP group, the IgG and IgA titers in the chitosan or mannose-modified LNP groups showed an increasing trend. The chitosan-modified group showed better effects. Notably, the PEGylated lipid with 1.5 mol% of chitosan modification produced high levels of IgG1 and IgG2a antibodies, promoting Th1/Th2 responses while also generating high levels of IgA, which can induce stronger cellular immunity, humoral immunity, and mucosal immunity.
conclusionsThe 1.5 mol% of chitosan-modified LNPs (mRNA-LNP-1.5CS) can serve as a safe and effective carrier for intranasal mRNA vaccines, offering a promising strategy for combating the Omicron variant.
