摘要:
The invention provides competitive particles, such as virus-like particles, RNAs and DNAs for the treatment or prevention of viral infections and methods of using such particles for treating or preventing or reducing the risk of viral infections (or symptoms thereof) in a subject, such as a human or animal subject. For example, the method herein is a method of reducing or reducing the establishment of a zoonotic population of a virus in an animal, such as a livestock or wild animal (eg, a bat, camelid or a Pholidota (eg, a pangolin)).
摘要:
Virus-like particles (VLPs) of mammalian-hosted viruses, such as SARS-CoV and influenza viruses, have been recombinantly produced from Vero cells. The VLPs closely emulate the exterior of authentic virus particles and are highly immunogenic. They can elicit not only humoral but also cellular immune responses in a mammal. Compositions and methods related to the VLPs are also described.
摘要:
A method of producing a virus like particle (VLP) in a plant, and compositions comprising VLPs, are provided. The method involves introducing a nucleic acid comprising a regulatory region active in the plant and operatively linked to a chimeric nucleotide sequence encoding, in series, an ectodomain from a virus trimeric surface protein or fragment thereof, fused to an influenza transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tail, into the plant, or portion of the plant, the ectodomain is from a non-influenza virus trimeric surface protein and heterologous with respect to the influenza transmembrane domain, and the cytoplasmic tail. The plant or portion of the plant are incubated under conditions that permit the expression of the nucleic acid, thereby producing the VLP. A VLP produced by this method are also provided.

摘要:
The present disclosure describes a system for making SARS-CoV-virus-like particles (SARS-CoV-VLPs) comprising one or more recombinant vectors which express the SARS-CoV E-protein, the SARS-CoV M-protein, and the SARS-CoV S-protein. Additionally, the present disclosure describes methods of inducing an immune response in a subject comprising administering to the subject a nucleic acid encoding the SARS-CoV E-protein, the SARS-CoV M-protein, and the SARS-CoV S-protein. Methods of inducing an immune response in a subject comprising administering to the subject SARS-CoV-VLPs are also disclosed.
摘要:
Described herein are methods and compositions for directing an antibody response in a subject away from one or more first epitopes of an antigen (e.g., immunodominant epitopes of a vaccine antigen) and towards one or more second epitopes of the antigen by administering one or more antibodies targeting the one or more first epitopes of the antigen.
摘要:
Provided are a bovine rotavirus fusion protein and calf diarrhea multivalent vaccine. The bovine rotavirus fusion protein contains a VP6 fragment, wherein the VP6 fragment contains an amino acid sequence as represented by SEQ ID NO. 4, and at least one loop region of the following (a)˜(c) is substituted with an antigenic epitope derived from bovine coronavirus and/or an antigenic epitope derived from E. coli: (a) amino acid residues of sites 168-177; with an amino acid sequence as represented by SEQ ID NO. 1; (b) amino acid residues of sites 194-205; with an amino acid sequence as represented by SEQ ID NO. 2; and (a) amino acid residues of sites 296-316, with an amino acid sequence as represented by SEQ ID NO. 3, The bovine rotavirus fusion protein contains a plurality of antigenic epitopes, and can enable a host to generate a plurality of antibodies after immunizing the host.
摘要:
The present invention relates i.a. to a recombinant avian coronavirus spike protein or fragment thereof comprising a mutation at amino acid position 267 to Cysteine. Further, the present invention relates to an immunogenic composition comprising an avian coronavirus with such spike protein.
摘要:
