All the above platforms deliver antigens directly to the recipient. Another vaccination strategy is to deliver a viral genome that codes for the antigens to the recipient, harnessing the host cellular machinery in synthesising the antigens [14]. Viral vector vaccines adapt virus of low virulent (e.g., adenovirus used in the COVID-19 vaccine
Vaxzevria™/Covishield™ co-developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca) as a vector to deliver genes that encode the target antigens [15]. Viral vector vaccines can either retain their replication ability or have the viral replication genes deleted for improved safety. The antigen-encoding genes can also be delivered as plasmid DNA or messenger RNA (mRNA) using non-viral vectors. Notably, two of the
injectable COVID-19 vaccines, tozinameran (Comirnaty® from P
izer
and BioNTech) and elasomeran (Spikevax™ from Moderna), belong to mRNA vaccines. Both of them use lipid nanoparticles (LNP) as the delivery vector [16, 17].
The existence of many vaccine platforms implies that vaccines do not represent a single class of biomolecule but can take the form of full microorganisms, proteins,
or nucleic acids. Each of the platforms thus demands its own speciic requirements for intranasal and inhaled formulations. Discussion on the delivery and formulation of respective biologics is covered in other chapters of this book. Currently, most vaccines are parenteral injections intended to induce strong systemic immunity. There are only a handful of approved vaccines that are administered through the mucosal route (Table 2) [18, 19]. While approved intranasal and inhaled vaccines might be lacking in number, they possess important immunological advantages over injectable vaccines, as illustrated in this chapter. Other social and economic beneits of these vaccines are also presented, followed by an overview of their challenges and limitations.

2 Principl esofIntranas alandInhaledVaccines
Intranasal and inhaled vaccines are vaccines that are administered through the intranasal route into the nose and pulmonary route into the lung, respectively (Fig. 2). In addition to being non-invasive, the rationale of intranasal and inhaled vaccines in protecting us from respiratory infectious diseases arises from their capability to trigger immune responses that closely resemble natural infection [18, 20]. Particularly, mucosal immunity are induced. It refers to the immune
https://t.me/medicina_free
responses offered by the immune system localised at the mucosae that comprise of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), lymphocytes, as well as effector molecules including cytokines, chemokines and antibodies (or immunoglobulins, Ig) that function independently of the systemic immunity [20]. Mucosal immunity is inadequately induced by injectable vaccines [21, 22]. Activation of the mucosal immune system results in three critical immune responses, namely tissue-speciic mucosal immune responses, common mucosal immune system, and systemic immunogenicity (Table 3) [23]. These enhanced effector and immune responses induced through direct exposure of antigens to the mucosae allow intranasal and inhaled vaccines to provide better protection than injectable vaccines [24], as elaborated below.

2.1 Tissue-SpeciicMucosal ImmuneResponse
The bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT) is usually absent in the lungs of healthy adults [25]. It can be induced by infection [26, 27] or inlammation due to exogenous stimuli such as cigarette smoke [28] and diesel exhaust [29]. The formation of inducible BALT (iBALT) forms the basis of mucosal immune response. iBALT is a tertiary lymphoid structure that neither demonstrates a well-deined structure, nor situates at speciic anatomical locations. Rather, iBALT can be found throughout the lung and it has a diverse composition, ranging from isolated B cells clusters that lack obvious organisation [30] to fully developed lymphoid tissues that consist of B cells, T cells, and other antigen-presenting cells (APCs) including dendritic cells and macrophages [31]. Hence, iBALT contributes to both humoral and cellular immune responses. The development and organisation of iBALT is regulated under homeostatic chemokines primarily through the IL-17 pathway of inlammation, in which the expression of CXCL13 attracts B cells, and CCL19 and CCL21 attract T cells [32]. Upon the
https://t.me/medicina_free
formation of iBALT, antigen acquisition and presentation can be achieved by Microfold (M) cells which are often located at the nearby epithelium [33], via the afferent lymphatics, or through the migration of antigen-acquiring dendritic cells from the airways [34]. Detail on the formation and physiology of iBALT has been recently reviewed [31].
B cells are the major lymphocytes involved in the humoral immune response. After being presented with processed antigens through major histocompatibility complexes (MHC) by the APCs, B cells begin to differentiate into plasma cells that are responsible for the secretion of Ig. Whilst IgG is the main class of Ig produced in systemic immune response, stimulation of mucosal immunity initiates the local production of a high level of secretory mucosal IgA (sIgA) in addition to serum IgG [35]. sIgA is pivotal in facilitating passive immune protection at mucosal surfaces since the mucosal secretion contains only a low level of complement proteins and leucocytes which are responsible for mediating strong immune effector functions [36]. sIgA offers a wide array of protections. Foremost, it elicits an immediate immune reaction by neutralisation, directly preventing pathogens from interacting with receptors expressed on the host cells through steric hindrance (immune exclusion) [37]. The protective effects of sIgA are not conined to the mucosal surface. Antigens that have crossed the epithelium and reached the lamina propria, and those that are inside the infected cells can also be neutralised by sIgA (intracellular neutralisation). These bound antigens are then expelled to the airways via the polymeric immunoglobulin receptors (pIgR) on the basolateral side of epithelial cells (antigen excretion) [38]. sIgA also mediates cellular immune response, including phagocytosis and cytokine release [39], through binding with the IgA Fc receptor FcαRI (also known as CD89) expressed in myeloid lineage cells like monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils [40–42]. Eficient induction and secretion of IgA into airway lumens through mucosal vaccination is a characteristic distinction to injectable vaccines [43, 44], with the former being more effective in alleviating disease progression during the early phase of infection. Compared to sIgA, systemic antibodies are less effective in preventing systemic invasion of pathogens or abolishing disease transmission that occurs in the respiratory system [45, 46].

The induction of antigen-speciic tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells represents another signiicant immune response unique to
mucosal immunisation and constitutes the cellular component of an adaptive immune response. Pulmonary TRM cells are critical in the
prevention of respiratory viral infection by eliciting specialised and rapid effector responses in adaptive immunity, including the expression of inlammatory cytokines and chemokines for the enhancement of tissue antiviral resistance and recruitment of auxiliary
immune cells such as dendritic cells [47]. Speci
ically, the CD8+ T
RM
cells can react quickly upon reencountering the antigens or pathogens [48] while the helper CD4+ TRM cells are engaged in the formation of
protective respiratory B cells and CD8+ T cells in the lung [49]. These TRM cells were once considered lasting memory cells that confer
enduring mucosal immunity [50]. Recent studies have been suggesting that CD8+ TRM cells in the lung are more short-lived than previously
thought, due to the lack of adhesion molecules CD69 and CD103, with a half-life as short as 14
days and their population substantially declined
within 100–200 days. This contrasts with their counterparts in other tissues such as the skin and the intestine [51, 52]. Nonetheless, CD4+ T
resident helper cells may still contribute to long-term immunity that initiates a rapid response to subsequent infections [53]. A booster dose in sustaining an effective memory cell population in the lungs has been suggested [18], and additional research is warranted.
2.2
 Common MucosalImmuneSystem
The common mucosal immune system is another major and exploitable characteristic of mucosal immune response [54]. Although the initial priming of mucosal immune response can be anatomically conined to a speciic mucosal tissue, it has been shown that exposure to antigens at one mucosa can trigger immunity at the distinct mucosal regions, sometimes even in different physiological systems, for example between respiratory and digestive systems [55]. This property of cross-mucosal immunity opens the possibility of achieving target mucosal immunity that is distant from the site of vaccination. In the context of intranasal and inhaled vaccines, their immunogenicity
https://t.me/medicina_free
could thus rely less on the site of vaccine deposition and antigen uptake, due to common mucosal co-stimulation. In a deposition study using a cotton rat model, the whole inactivated inluenza virus vaccine was administered intratracheally either to the deep lung region as liquid or to the trachea and central lung region as powders [56]. While serum IgG levels were similar between the two groups and were comparable to the positive control administered intramuscularly, indicating priming of systemic immune response, vaccine-speciic IgA was not only detected in the lung but also in nasal washes. The latter was ascribed to antigen-speciic B cells migrating from the site of induction to distant mucosal lymphoid tissue. In a follow-up study, inhalable powder formulations containing both the inluenza subunit vaccine and HBsAg were administered to mice intratracheally, using two devices with different deposition proiles [57]. Both the lung washes and serum displayed comparable titre levels of IgA and IgG, respectively, against inluenza regardless of the administration device. Intriguingly, only animals with antigens reaching the peripheral regions expressed hepatitis B-speciic IgG in serum. It was proposed that airborne pathogens exhibiting speciic molecular patterns can be recognised along the respiratory tract, thus rendering the induction of immune responses less dependent on the site of antigen deposition. While there is no speciic receptor in the airway targeted by hepatitis B, the deposition of antigens in the deep lung region could allow suficient time to trigger immune responses. Besides, HBsAg could form virus-like particles that passively diffuse from alveoli to draining lymph nodes, inducing immune reactions [57]. In a separate study that evaluated the effects of different sites of pulmonary deposition through varying the route of delivery (intranasal or intratracheal administration), the volume of delivered solution and the angle of tilt, a monovalent inluenza vaccine was administered to BALB/c mice [58]. While similar IgA titres were detected in the nasal washes of all groups regardless of the delivery methods, there was a 1-log reduction in IgA titre in broncho-alveoli lavage for animals inoculated by the intranasal route. No difference was observed otherwise between groups that targeted deposition in different regions within the lungs. Nevertheless, only the deep lung targeted groups could present similar serum IgG titres to the control intramuscular group. Recently, a comparative
https://t.me/medicina_free
study exploring the relationship between the biodistribution of vaccine and their immunogenicity in the lung using murine models and adenovirus-vectored vaccine was reported [59]. Mice vaccinated via the intratracheal route exhibited more pronounced immune responses and protective effects in the lungs than the intranasal route. These studies clearly demonstrated some important distinctions between intranasal and inhaled vaccines that call for further investigations, especially clinical studies.
2.3 SystemicImmunogenicity
The capacity of intranasal and inhaled vaccines to trigger systemic immunity in addition to mucosal immune responses conceivably makes them more advantageous than their injectable counterparts. Indeed, preclinical studies have reported that strong systemic immunity comparable to intramuscular vaccination could be induced by intranasal or inhaled vaccines [60–63], including the aforementioned deposition studies [56–58]. For instance, intratracheal administration of an inluenza vaccine containing haemagglutinin antigen signiicantly induced robust serum antibodies as well as local IgG and IgA in mice [43]. In another study that aimed to develop an inhalable inluenza powder vaccine, both powder and reconstituted vaccines administered by pulmonary route to rats induced similar serum IgG levels and higher serum IgA levels as compared to that by subcutaneous injection [64]. The inhaled vaccines could also trigger a much higher mucosal IgA and to a lesser extent IgG without causing acute histological toxicity to the lung.
Systemic immune responses triggered by intranasal and inhaled mucosal vaccination are also observed clinically, including the
intranasal vaccine FluMist® among other vaccine candidates [65]. FluMist® was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2003 and 2012, respectively [66]. It is currently indicated for the prevention of in
luenza disease caused by inluenza type A and B in individuals of age between 2 and 49 years old. As the vaccine effectiveness appeared to decline over time, possibly due to the combined effects of antigenic drift and inter-strain competition in multivalent preparations [11, 67,
https://t.me/medicina_free
68], novel mucosal inluenza vaccine candidates with improved and
sustained protection are still in demand. For instance, intranasal inoculation of live-attenuated H5N1 vaccine that lacked the highly virulent non-structural protein 1 (delNS1-H5N1) was well-tolerated and able to trigger profound vaccine-speciic serum Ig titres [69]. Seroconversion was observed in 75% of the subjects even after one dose of vaccine, and sIgA responses were demonstrated in 42% of participants upon completing the scheduled second vaccination. The safety and immunogenicity of another haemagglutinin antigen-based intranasal inluenza vaccine candidate adjuvanted with an E.coli- derived heat-labile enterotoxin was evaluated in a phase II trial [70]. While the titres of induced serum anti-HA Ig were comparable among the treatment groups (with or without adjuvants), only the adjuvanted vaccines were shown to induce substantial levels of sIgA without signiicant differences in adverse events proile after the second dose. In another study, a single intranasal dose of M2SR (M2-deicient single replication) H3N2 inluenza vaccine was shown to offer enhanced mucosal and systemic immunity [68]. Compared to the 10% rate of
H3N2 seroconversion achieved by FluMist® in seronegative subjects, the M2SR vaccine candidates led to a rise of serum antibody titre in 71% of the recipients, highlighting a possible improvement in disease control.
Besides in
luenza, systemic and mucosal immunogenicity upon intranasal and inhaled vaccination have also been observed for other respiratory viral infections in clinical trials, notably respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and COVID-19. RSV infection remains one of the leading causes of hospitalisation in infants [71], and there are no approved intranasal or inhaled RSV vaccines at the time of writing. Research on RSV vaccines has also been motivated by the recent surge in RSV incidence in various parts of the world [72–74]. Social restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic have not only limited the spread of COVID-19 but also other respiratory infections, including RSV, which resulted in a cohort of children with no natural immunity against RSV [72]. The relaxation of these restrictions has led to a spike in RSV infections in children during atypical season. Some promising results on recent studies of RSV vaccines have been reported. For instance, RSV could be attenuated through deletion of the
