Notes: Lipid 88 is an ionizable cationic lipid that has been used in the generation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for the delivery of mRNA in vivo.{69767} LNPs containing lipid 88 and encapsulating mRNA encoding severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike glycoprotein increase anti-spike glycoprotein IgG titers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), as well as increase the percentage of CD8+, CD8+CD44+, CD4+, and CD4+CD44+ T cells in the lungs and spleen, in mice after two doses three weeks apart. LNPs containing lipid 88 and encapsulating mRNA expressing SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein inhibit reductions in body weight, increase serum levels of anti-spike glycoprotein IgG and IgA titers, and reduce lung and nasal wash viral titers in a hamster model of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BQ.1 subvariant infection.
