The present invention relates to a mutated HPV18 L1 protein (or a variant thereof), a sequence encoding the same, a method for preparing the same, and a virus-like particle comprising the same, wherein the protein (or a variant thereof) and the virus-like particle can induce the generation of neutralizing antibodies against at least two HPV types (for example, HPV18 and HPV45, or HPV18, HPV45 and HPV59), and therefore can be used to prevent infection by said at least two HPV types, and a disease caused by said infection, such as cervical cancer and condyloma acuminatum. The invention further relates to the use of the protein and the virus-like particle in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition or a vaccine for preventing infection by said at least two HPV types, and a disease caused by said infection, such as cervical cancer and condyloma acuminatum.

The present disclosure provides, among other things, a pharmaceutical composition that includes a lipid nanoparticle adjuvant and an anti-human papillomavirus (HPV) comprising HPV virus-like particles (VLPs) of at least one type of human papillomavirus (HPV) selected from the group consisting of HPV types: 6, 11, 16, 18, 26, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 55, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 73, and 82.

The present disclosure is directed to methods and compositions for the diagnosis and/or treatment of tumors, such as ocular tumors, using virus-like particles conjugated to photosensitive molecules.

The present disclosure is directed to methods and compositions for the diagnosis and/or treatment of tumors, such as ocular tumors, using virus-like particles conjugated to photosensitive molecules.

The present invention relates to chimeric papilloma virus L1 proteins and polynucleotides encoding thereof, and also to HPV virus-like particles and the preparation methods thereof. Said chimeric papilloma virus L1 protein comprises an N-terminal fragment derived from L1 protein of the first papilloma virus type, said N-terminal fragment maintains the immunogenicity of the L1 protein of the corresponding type of HPV; and a C-terminal fragment derived from L1 protein of the second papilloma virus type, said L1 protein of the second papilloma virus type has a better expression level and a better solubility compared to the L1 proteins of other HPV types; wherein said chimeric papilloma virus L1 proteins have the immunogenicity of the L1 proteins of the corresponding HPV types. Said chimeric papilloma virus L proteins have better expression amount and solubility for mass production of vaccines.

This invention relates to chimeric virus-like particles (VLPs) assembled from a polypeptide comprising a papilloma virus (PV) L1 protein or L1/L2 protein and a target peptide comprising a CD8+ T cell epitope derived from a human pathogen. This invention also relates to methods using the chimeric VLPs as antigen-specific redirectors of immune responses.

This invention is directed to immunogenic composition, conjugates, virus-lie particles (VLP) compositions, vaccines and methods directed to the treatment and/or prevent of infection by Human Papillomavirus.

The present disclosure is directed to methods and compositions for the diagnosis and/or treatment of tumors, such as ocular tumors, using virus-like particles conjugated to photosensitive molecules.

Disclosed are immunization antigens that have been glyco-engineered to include non-native glycosylation patterns with a view to enhance their properties as antigens for use in such areas as vaccination and antibody production. Also disclosed are to means and methods for producing the glycomodified antigens as well of methods and uses of the glycomodified antigens.

This invention relates to chimeric virus-like particles (VLPs) assembled from a polypeptide comprising a papilloma virus (PV) L1 protein or L1/L2 protein and a target peptide comprising a CD8+ T cell epitope derived from a human pathogen. This invention also relates to methods using the chimeric VLPs as antigen-specific redirectors of immune responses.
