    摘要: The compositions and methods are described for generating an immune response to a flavivirus such as Zika virus. The compositions and methods described herein relate to a modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vector encoding one or more viral antigens for generating a protective immune response to a member of genus Flavivirus (such as a member of species Zika virus), in the subject to which the vector is administered. The compositions and methods of the present invention are useful both prophylactically and therapeutically and may be used to prevent and/or treat an infection caused by Flavivirus.

    摘要: Provided herein are recombinant modified vaccinia Ankara (rMVA) viral vectors comprising heterologous nucleic acid inserts encoding one or more SARS-CoV2 proteins, peptides, or fragments thereof, operably linked to a promoter compatible with poxvirus expression systems that, upon expression, are capable of inducing protective immunity. The compositions can be used in a priming vaccination strategy or in a prime/boost vaccination strategy to provide immunity to SARS-CoV2 and variants thereof.

    摘要: Compositions and methods are described for generating an immune response to an arenavirus. The compositions and methods described herein relate to a modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vector encoding one or more viral antigens for generating a protective immune response to a member of genus Arenavirus (such as a member of species Lassa virus) in the subject to which the vector is administered. The compositions and methods of the present invention may be used to prevent and/or treat an infection caused by arenavirus.
