Virus-like particle compositions and vaccines against epstein-barr virus infection and disease
The present invention relates to prophylactic and/or therapeutic vaccines that contain Newcastle disease Virus (NDV) virus-like particles (VLPs) comprising one or more Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) antigens. In one embodiment, the invention provides a recombinant virus-like particle (VLP) comprising, in operable combination, a) Newcastle disease virus (NDV) matrix (M) protein, and b) one or more Epstein-Barr Virus (BBV) antigens. The invention's prophylactic and/or therapeutic vaccines are useful for preventing and/or treating infection with EBV and/or disease associated Epstein-Barr Virus, such as cancer.
Mutant of L1 protein of human papillomavirus type 58
Provided are a mutated HPV58 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, 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.
Universal vaccine platform
The disclosure relates to vaccination compositions, for example, against human papillomavirus, Zika virus, and flu virus. The disclosure also relates to vectors for producing the virus-like particles and immune complex platforms of the vaccination compositions.
MODIFIED HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS TYPE 52 L1 PROTEIN AND USE THEREOF
The present application relates to a modified human papillomavirus (HPV) type 52 L1 protein and a use thereof. Specifically, the present application relates to a HPV type 52 L1 protein, a nucleotide encoded thereby, a carrier comprising the nucleotide, a cell comprising the carrier, a pentamer or virus-like particle consisting of the HPV-52 L1 protein, a vaccine comprising the pentamer or virus-like particle and a vaccine adjuvant, and a use thereof in the prevention of HPV infections and HPV infection-related diseases.
MUTANT OF L1 PROTEIN OF HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS TYPE 16
Provided are a mutated HPV16 L1 protein (or a variant thereof), a sequence encoding the same and a method for preparing the same, as well as a virus-like particle comprising the same. The protein (or variant thereof) and the virus-like particle are capable of inducing neutralizing antibodies against at least two types of HPV (e.g., HPV16 and HPV35, or HPV16, HPV35, and HPV31), 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. Also provided are a use of the above protein and virus-like particle in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition or 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.
SEROLOGIC TEST FOR THERAPY CONTROL OF HPV16 POSITIVE CARCINOMA
A method for therapy control of HPV16 positive carcinoma, an antibody for use in the corresponding diagnostic method as well as a test for performing the method. In particular, a serologic method for monitoring the development of the amount of antibodies in samples, which were taken from a patient before and after the treatment of a HPV16 positive carcinoma over a predetermined period of time. In addition, an immunologic test in the form of a kit, with which the method can be performed.
Non-human papillomaviruses for gene delivery in vitro and in vivo
A non-human papilloma pseudovirus or virus like particle has at least one papilloma capsid protein codon-optimized for expression in eukaryotic cells or cell lines. A pharmaceutical composition includes the non-human papilloma pseudovirus or virus like particle, and a diagnostic agent, an imaging agent, and a therapeutic agent. A non-human papilloma pseudovirus or virus like particle can be used as a medicament. A method for producing a non-human papilloma pseudovirus or virus like particle involves codon-optimizing of capsid proteins of non-human papillomaviruses for expression in eukaryotic cells, synthesizing of the sequences and cloning of the synthesized sequences into expression vectors, and producing non-human papilloma pseudovirus or virus like particles. t-carrageenan can be used as transduction enhancer for non-human papilloma pseudovirus or virus like particles in vitro.
Serologic test for therapy control of HPV16 positive carcinoma
A method for therapy control of HPV16 positive carcinoma, an antibody for use in the corresponding diagnostic method as well as a test for performing the method. In particular, a serologic method for monitoring the development of the amount of antibodies in samples, which were taken from a patient before and after the treatment of a HPV16 positive carcinoma over a predetermined period of time. In addition, an immunologic test in the form of a kit, with which the method can be performed.
Universal vaccine platform
The disclosure relates to vaccination compositions, for example, against human papillomavirus, Zika virus, and flu virus. The disclosure also relates to vectors for producing the virus-like particles and immune complex platforms of the vaccination compositions.
Papillomavirus pseudoviruses for detection and therapy of tumors
Disclosed herein are methods of detecting tumors, monitoring cancer therapy, and selectively inhibiting the proliferation and/or killing of cancer cells utilizing a papilloma pseudovirus or a papilloma virus-like particle (VLP).
