Compositions and methods for the treatment of viral infections include conjugates containing inhibitors of viral RSV F protein (e.g., Presatovir, MDT 637, JNJ 179, or an analog thereof) linked to an Fc monomer, an Fc domain, and Fc-binding peptide, an albumin protein, or albumin-binding peptide. In particular, conjugates can be used in the treatment of viral infections (e.g., RSV infections).

The invention relates to methods for generating an aerosol by nebulization of a composition comprising polyclonal immunoglobulin (Ig). The selection of an efficient membrane nebulizer and a composition optimized for nebulization with such membrane nebulizer results in a particularly efficient method of generating an aerosol for administration of Ig to the respiratory tract.

The present invention relates to a RNA encoding an antibody or a fragment or variant thereof and a composition, in particular a passive vaccine, comprising such an RNA. The present invention further relates to the use of such an RNA or of such a composition for treatment of tumours and cancer diseases, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, virus diseases and monogenetic diseases, e.g. also in gene therapy. The present invention also relates to a combination of at least two modified RNA's, in particular wherein one RNA encodes a heavy chain variable region of an antibody and another RNA encodes the corresponding light chain variable region of said antibody.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical agents administered to a subject either in combination or in series for the treatment of a Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection, wherein treatment comprises administering a compound effective to inhibit the function of the RSV and an additional compound or combinations of compounds having anti-RSV activity.

The present invention relates to immunogenic compositions comprising RSV F protein, methods for preparing compositions that contain RSV F protein ecto-domain polypeptides, and to certain engineered RSV F proteins and nucleic acids that encode the engineered RSV F proteins. Compositions prepared using the methods can contain RSV F protein ecto-domain polypeptides in a predominant or single desired form and conformation. The invention also relates to methods for inducing an immune response to RSV F.

This application provides antibodies and functional equivalents thereof which are capable of specifically binding RSV, as well as means and methods for producing them.

Provided herein, inter alia, are fusion DNA constructs comprising improved protease recognition sequences for expressing and purifying one or more polypeptides of interest as well as methods for producing one or more polypeptides of interest in a recombinant host cell.

The present invention relates to immunogenic compositions comprising RSV F protein, methods for preparing compositions that contain RSV F protein ecto-domain polypeptides, and to certain engineered RSV F proteins and nucleic acids that encode the engineered RSV F proteins. Compositions prepared using the methods can contain RSV F protein ecto-domain polypeptides in a predominant or single desired form and conformation. The invention also relates to methods for inducing an immune response to RSV F.

The disclosure relates to respiratory syncytial vims (RSV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) vaccines, as well as methods of using the vaccines and compositions comprising the vaccines.

Disclosed herein are granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) peptides and compositions comprising GM-CSF peptides. These molecules may be useful for the treatment of neurological diseases or conditions.
