An mRNA vaccine provides effective protection against Duck Tembusu Virus infection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As an emerging flavivirus, Duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) causes severe neurological disorder and acute egg drop syndrome in poultry. Herein, we report the development of a highly effective mRNA vaccine against DTMUV using lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery technology. We engineered an mRNA construct encoding the pre-membrane (prM) and envelope (E) proteins of DTMUV, with an upstream signal peptide to enhance secretion. Two doses of our mRNA vaccine elicited robust neutralizing antibody titers and conferred 100% protection against challenge with a prevalent virulent DTMUV strain. Notably, in a head-to-head comparison, the neutralizing antibody titers induced by our mRNA vaccine were approximately 40-fold of a commercial live-attenuated vaccine (FX2010-180P). Importantly, our mRNA vaccine demonstrated efficient maternal antibody transfer via egg yolk deposition, indicating the potential for protecting offspring through maternal immunity. These findings demonstrate the superiority of our mRNA vaccine platform, as well as the feasibility of applying mRNA vaccines in poultry.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
