    摘要: The present invention is inter alia directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one nucleic acid encoding at least one antigenic peptide or protein from a Coronavirus, preferably a pandemic Coronavirus, and at least one nucleic acid encoding at least one antigenic peptide or protein from a further virus, e.g. an Influenza virus or an RSV virus. Pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are suitable for use in treatment or prophylaxis of an infection with at least one Coronavirus and at least one further virus infection, and may therefore be comprised in a combination vaccine. The nucleic acid sequences of the pharmaceutical compositions and combination vaccines are preferably in association with a polymeric carrier, a polycationic protein or peptide, or a lipid nanoparticle (LNP). The invention is also directed to first and second and further medical uses of the pharmaceutical compositions and combination vaccines, and to methods of treating or preventing a Coronavirus infection and a further virus infection.

    摘要: The present invention provides optimized nucleic acid molecules, methods for optimization of nucleic acid molecules and uses of optimized nucleic acid molecules. A modular design principle is provided that is suitable to generate a nucleic acid, particularly mRNA, which is tailored for a respective application. The nucleic acid molecules of the present invention can be obtained by the versatile combination of multiple modules on nucleic acid level. Such nucleic acid, e.g. mRNA, can be tailored by combining one or more modules, comprising (i) a nucleic acid moiety encoding a polypeptide of interest (e.g. a protein potentially producing a therapeutic outcome) and (ii) at least one further coding or non-coding nucleic acid moiety, e.g. selected among nucleic acid moieties encoding a polypeptide element, such as a secretory signal peptide (SSP), a multimerization element (dimerization, trimerization, tetramerization and oligomerization), a virus like particle (VLP) forming element, a transmembrane element, a dendritic cell targeting element, an immunological adjuvant element, an element promoting antigen presentation; a 2A peptide; a peptide linker element, elements that extend protein half-life, and/or any other polypeptide or protein. Non-coding nucleic acid moieties may be selected e.g. from the group comprising 3′-UTR, 5′-UTR, IRES element, miRNA moiety, histone stem loop, poly(C) sequence, polyadenylation signal, polyA-sequence. The optimized nucleic acid molecule can further be characterized by the presence of at least one modified nucleoside. The versatility of the present invention allows for rational design of a large variety of different nucleic acid molecules with desired properties.

    摘要: The invention is directed to a coding RNA for a Rotavirus vaccine. The coding RNA comprises at least one coding region encoding at least one antigenic peptide or protein of a Rotavirus, in particular VPS* of a Rotavirus, or immunogenic fragment or immunogenic variant thereof. The present invention is also directed to compositions and vaccines comprising said coding RNA in association with a polymeric carrier, a polycationic protein or peptide, or a lipid nanoparticle (LNP). Further, the invention concerns a kit, particularly a kit of parts comprising the coding RNA, or the composition, or the vaccine. The invention is also directed to a kit or kit of parts, medical treatments, and the first and second medical uses.
