COVID-19 has caused significant morbidity and mortality worldwide but also accelerated the clinical use of emerging vaccine formulations. To address the current shortcomings in the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection, this study developed a novel vaccine platform that closely mimics dendritic cells (DCs) in antigen presentation and T-cell stimulation in a cell-free and tunable manner. Genetically engineered DCs that express the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S) were chemically converted into extracellular blebs (EBs). The resulting EBs elicited potentially protective humoral immunity in vivo, indicated by the production of antibodies that potently neutralized S-pseudotyped virus, presenting EBs as a promising and safe vaccine.
