Following a single-dose intranasal immunization, PIV5-MERS-S induced neutralizing antibody and robust T cell responses in hDPP4 KI mice. As shown in Fig. 3B to D, we observed a significant increase in the Immunization with PIV5 Expressing MERS-CoV Spike ® percentage and total number of CD8 ϩ -IFN-␥ ϩ cells in the lungs of PIV5-MERS-Simmunized mice in comparison to those infected with PIV5-GFP virus, consistent with a MERS-S-specific primary CD8 T cell response in the lungs. The finding that PIV5 expressing MERS S protected mice against lethal MERS-CoV challenge at a single low dose of 10 4 PFU suggests its potential use as a vaccine vector for emerging viruses such as SARS-CoV-2. ./cache/cord-273391-vmtfn78x.txt ./txt/cord-273391-vmtfn78x.txt
