Abstract
This study assessed the safety and efficacy of an mRNA rabies vaccine (LVRNA001) in dogs, mice, and cynomolgus macaques. LVRNA001, encoding the rabies virus glycoprotein, provided complete protection in dogs against both pre- and post-exposure infection. In mice, it protected against various rabies virus strains. Chronic toxicity studies in cynomolgus macaques and reproductive toxicity studies in rats revealed no significant adverse effects. LVRNA001 induced strong neutralizing antibody and Th1-biased immune responses in macaques. The results suggest LVRNA001 is a safe and promising rabies vaccine candidate.
