The present invention relates to phage T5 capsids that are devoid of genomic DNA from the phage and exposing, on their surface, at least one fusion protein of interest. The invention relates in particular to a phage T5 capsid that is deprived of genomic DNA from the phage and on its surface exposes at least one fusion protein, the fusion protein comprising: —at least one peptide fragment or protein fragment with at least 80% identity with a fragment of a decoration protein ph10; and —at least one functional fragment of an antigen, or at least one functional fragment of a toxin, or at least one receptor fragment, or at least one functional fragment of an addressing or targeting or transportation signal, or at least one functional fragment of an enzyme, or at least one functional fragment of a hormone, or at least one functional fragment of an antibody, or at least one antigen, or at least one toxin, or at least one receptor, or at least one addressing or targeting or transportation signal, or at least one enzyme, or at least one hormone, or at least one antibody, or any combination of these. The present invention also relates to methods for producing such a capsid and to vectors that enable the production thereof. The invention further relates to the fusion proteins of interest that are exposed on the capsid and to the nucleic acids encoding them. The invention also relates to nanoparticles comprising such functionalized capsids, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such nanoparticles and/or such functionalized capsids, and to therapeutic uses thereof, particularly as a medication and/or vaccine.

Provided herein are recombinant polypeptides comprising a SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein binding domain polypeptide and a GM-CSF polypeptide, polynucleotide sequences encoding the same, virus-like particles comprising the same, and methods for using these compositions for the treatment of a SARS-CoV-2 infection in a subject, and for detection of a SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in a subject.

The present invention relates to a cyclic peptide, a conjugate comprising said cyclic peptide and a lipopeptide building block, a bundle of said conjugates, a synthetic virus-like particle comprising at least one bundle of conjugates and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same. The present invention further relates to said cyclic peptide, said conjugate said bundle of conjugates, said synthetic virus-like particle and said pharmaceutical compositions for use as a medicament, preferably for use in a method for preventing of an infectious disease or reducing the risk of an infectious disease, more preferably for use in a method for preventing or reducing the risk of an infectious disease associated with or caused by a respiratory syncytial virus.

The present invention relates to an adenoviral vector capable of encoding a virus-like particle (VLP), said VLP displaying an inactive immune-suppressive domain (ISD). The vaccine of the invention shows an improved immune response from either of both of the response pathways initiated by CD4 T cells or CD8 T cells.

Disclosed is a composition comprising at least one non-infectious virus particle for preventing and/or treating a viral infection in a marine mollusc.

Provided herein are methods and compositions relating to Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV), and vaccines for treatment and prevention thereof.

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 present disclosure provides compositions and methods useful for preventing and treating Zika virus infection. As described herein, the compositions and methods are based on development of immunogenic compositions that include virus-like particles (VLPs) which comprise one or more Moloney Murine leukemia virus (MMLV) core proteins and include one or more Zika epitopes, such as, for example, from Zika envelope glycoprotein E and the Zika structural protein NS1 including variants thereof.

The present invention provides methods for producing HIV-1 nanoparticle vaccines with enhanced immunogenicity. The methods entail (1) enzymatic digestion of glycan chain on the surface of a self-assembling nanoparticle vaccine displaying an HIV-1 Env derived trimer immunogen, or (2) expression of an HIV-1 nanoparticle construct in an expression system lacking normal glycosylation function for human proteins.
