Recent preclinical results indicate novel next-generation vaccine candidates developed at Cleveland Clinic protect against multiple strains of influenza and last longer than vaccines currently in use.
The vaccines are part of Cleveland Clinic's global vaccine research program, led by Ted Ross, PhD, Global Director of Vaccine Development at Cleveland Clinic. Published in Scientific Reports, the study credits the preclinical success of the influenza B vaccines to novel technology called Computationally Optimized Broadly Reactive Antigens .
Michael Carlock, study first author, program manager in Dr. Ross's lab and PhD student at the University of Georgia "Between 2001 and 2012, the influenza B strain used to make the flu shot matched the main influenza B strain infecting the population about 50% of the time," he says, "The vaccines weren't as effective as they could have been. That's part of why some flu seasons are worse than others."
When the influenza B COBRA vaccines were tested in preclinical models, they performed even better than expected. They protected against multiple strains of influenza B and even protected against strains between the two different lineages of influenza B. There was also evidence that the COBRA vaccines are longer-lasting than current technology.
