NOVEL CORONAVIRUS S PROTEIN DOUBLE-REGION SUBUNIT NANO-VACCINE BASED ON BACTERIAL COMPLEX

The present application is related to a novel coronavirus S protein double-region subunit nano-vaccine based on a bacterial complex. In the present invention, a receptor binding domain (RBD) and a fusion peptide (FP) of a virus are used together as double antigens, and are connected to a bacterial complex (such as PF_Ferritin or Lumazine Synthase (LS)) to form a fusion protein, so as to achieve antigen multimerization; and then expression is performed by using a eukaryotic cell expression system, and a 24-mer nano-antigen or a 60-mer nano-antigen can be formed by means of self-assembly action. The solution can overcome the defect of insufficient immunogenicity of an RBD monomer. The obtained vaccine can significantly increase the level of a neutralizing antibody against a virus in a host, and the resulting antibody has the capability of strongly blocking a virus from invading a target cell.

VIRUS-LIKE PARTICLE WITH EFFICIENT EPITOPE DISPLAY

The invention relates to a virus-like particle (VLP) based vaccine. The virus-like particle constitutes a non-naturally occurring, ordered and repetitive antigen array display scaffold which can obtain a strong and long-lasting immune response in a subject. The VLP-based vaccine may be used for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of a disease including, but is not limited to, cancer, cardiovascular, infectious, chronic, neurological diseases/disorders, asthma, and/or immune-inflammatory diseases/disorders.
