A method to enhance an immune response in a mammal, and a composition comprising liposomes, a TLR4 agonist and a TLR7 agonist, are provided.

Described herein are improved purification methods for Zika virus vaccines and compositions. Also described are Zika vaccines and methods of producing and administering said Zika vaccines to subjects in need thereof.

The present invention relates to a porcine parvovirus and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus vaccine for protecting a subject, preferably swine, against diseases associated with porcine parvovirus and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus. The present invention further relates to methods of producing immunogenic compositions as well as such immunogenic compositions exhibiting reduced virucidal activity.

The present disclosure relates to Zika virus vaccines and immunogenic compositions having one or more antigens from a Zika virus (e.g., a Zika virus clonal isolate, a non-human cell adapted Zika virus, etc.), and methods of treatments and uses thereof.

Provided is a method for producing an influenza HA split vaccine which produces an antibody that binds to a HA stem region of influenza, the HA stem region being less likely to cause antigenic variation, An influenza HA split vaccine is subjected to an acidic treatment. Through the acidic treatment, an influenza HA split vaccine which produces an antibody that binds to a LAH of the HA stem region is obtained. This influenza HA split vaccine has an excellent protective ability against infection of other influenza viruses of different antigenicity.

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.

The present invention relates to combination vaccines against both influenza and COVID-19. In particular, the invention relates to combination vaccines comprising one or more influenza virus antigen and one or more SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2) antigen, particularly one or more SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antigen, as well as vaccines comprising polynucleotides encoding said antigens, and such vaccines for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 infection) and influenza infection.

A menu of mutations was developed that is useful in fine-tuning the attenuation and growth characteristics of dengue virus vaccines.

This application pertains to methods of isolating virus particles and producing virus vaccine composition comprising subject a biological sample to an anion exchange chromatography and a hydroxyapatite chromatography. The application also pertains to rabies virus vaccine compositions and methods of assessing suitability of a virus vaccine composition or releasing a commercial batch of virus vaccine composition for clinical use.

The invention relates to means and methods for preparing aqueous composition comprising aluminium and a protein said composition comprising less than 700 ppm heavy metal on the basis of weight with respect to the aluminium content. The invention further relates to aqueous compositions comprising a protein and an aluminium-salt, said composition comprising less than 350 ppb heavy metal based on the weight of the aqueous composition.
