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.

Provided herein are nucleic acid molecules encoding an HPV antigen. Also provided are vaccines against human papillomavirus (HPV) comprising the nucleic acids, methods of inducing immune responses, and methods for prophylactically and/or therapeutically immunizing individuals against recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). Pharmaceutical compositions, recombinant vaccines comprising DNA plasmid and live attenuated vaccines are disclosed as well as methods of inducing an immune response to treat or prevent RRP are disclosed.

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.

This disclosure provides compositions, including Listeria delivery vectors comprising minigene expression constructs, and methods of using the same for inducing an immune response against an antigen-expressing tumor and for treating the same, and vaccinating against the same in subjects bearing the tumors.

Embodiments of the present invention provide for novel compositions and methods for making and using a thermally stable human papilloma virus (HPV) formulation or other stabilized multimeric virus formulation. Certain embodiments concern lyophilizing HPV formulations in the presence or absence of adjuvants. Other embodiments concern lypophilizing HPV capsomere vaccines in order to increase stability of an immunogenic composition against HPV infection for storage, delivery and use. In yet other embodiments, a single immunogenic composition can include a thermally stable formulation of multiple virus serotypes. Yet other embodiments disclosed herein concern multi-targeted antigen complexes lyophilized in formulations of use to prolong stability and/or enhance immunogenicity. Other embodiments concern exposing lyophilized multi-targeted antigen complexes to elevated temperatures to enhance immunogenicity of the antigens of the complex to multiple pathogens.

The disclosure relates to sexually transmitted disease ribonucleic acid vaccines and combination vaccines, as well as methods of using the vaccines and compositions comprising the vaccines.

A method for treating or reducing the incidence of recurrence of cancer, benign tumors, or HPV-associated lesions, including skin cancer, and particularly squamous cell carcinoma (SCC and basal-cell carcinoma, by administering one or more doses of HPV recombinant vaccine to a patient.

Novel human papillomovirus immunogenic compositions and methods of use thereof are provided. The compositions comprise unique combinations of multi-epitope peptide sequences specifically selected and designed to be effectively processed and cross-presented to T-cells. The peptides utilized in the compositions display high levels of binding with HLA-supertypes. The immunogenic compositions are broadly applicable to large proportions of target populations. The compositions comprise adjuvants such as cationic lipids.
