Bronchoalveolar IgA after an oral boost of intramuscularly vaccinated hamsters. Animals from Figure 5A , immunized by i.m. injection of VLPs pseudotyped with stabilized spike and VSP and formed in the presence or absence of SARS-CoV-2 M protein, were then boosted (+, squares) or not (-, cercles) with the same VLPs by oral route. Values represent the mean ± S.E.M. ***p < 0.001; ns, not significant; Mann Whitney tests comparing hamsters immunized with eVLPs formed with M or not and comparing hamsters orally boosted or not (n= 10).
