(b-c) At day 10 after boosting, the spleen of wild-type and FcγR KO mice were harvested, and T cell responses were measured after spike peptide re-stimulation. Splenocytes were incubated overnight with class I MHC (b) or class II MHC (c) immunodominant spike peptides, and the percentages and numbers of IFNγ and TNFα positive CD8+ (b) or CD4+ (c) T cells were quantified by intracellular staining and flow cytometry.

At 3 dpi, infectious virus in the nasal turbinates (f) and lungs (g) was determined (boxes illustrate geometric mean titers [GMT], dotted lines show LOD, bars indicate mean ± SEM; in order left to right n = 10, 10, 10, 10, 25, 10, 10, 14 (b); n = 12, 10, 10, 10, 22, 10, 10, 15 (c); n = 22, 9, 9, 12, 30, 15, 15, 15 (d); n = 22, 9, 9, 12, 25, 10, 10, 15 (e); n = 19, 10, 8, 8, 19, 9, 10, 10 (f); n = 19, 10, 8, 8, 19, 9, 10, 10 (g) mice per group, one experiment (b-e), two experiments (f-g), dotted lines show LOD, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s test (ns, not significant, ***P = 0.002, ****P < 0.0001 (f); **P = 0.0044, ****P < 0.0001 (g)); additional statistical comparisons are shown in Supplementary Table 3.

(a) Representative flow cytometry plots show gating scheme for quantification of spike-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses in the spleen of wild-type, FcγR III KO, and FcγR I/III/IV KO mice at day 10 after boosting with control or mRNA-1273 vaccines. (b-c) At day 10 after boosting, the spleen of wild-type and FcγR KO mice were harvested, and T cell responses were measured after spike peptide re-stimulation. Splenocytes were incubated overnight with class I MHC (b) or class II MHC (c) immunodominant spike peptides, and the percentages and numbers of IFNγ and TNFα positive CD8+ (b) or CD4+ (c) T cells were quantified by intracellular staining and flow cytometry. Data are pooled from two experiments (in order left to right n = 10, 10, 8, 10, 10, 9 (b-c)). Comparisons were made between groups that received the mRNA 1273 vaccine (one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-test; all comparisons were not significant; column height indicates mean values).

Lung cells from wild-type, FcγR I KO, FcγR III KO, and FcγR I/III/IV KO mice were stained with antibodies for FcγR I, FcγR III, or FcγR IV. After gating on live cells, alveolar macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes were defined (see Extended Data Fig 5). The data are representative of results with n = 3 mice per group, and histograms are shown.
