Described herein are CpG-adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and compositions and methods of producing and administering said vaccines to subjects in need thereof.

The present disclosure provides a composition, a combination product, a medical device and the like for treating or preventing cancer or a tumor or preventing the recurrence of the cancer or the tumor. The present disclosure provides a composition, a combination product and a medical device for treating or preventing cancer or a tumor or preventing the recurrence of the cancer or the tumor, each of which comprises an immune checkpoint inhibitor and a dendritic cell direct activator or means. In another aspect, the present disclosure provides: a novel cancer treatment method which comprises carrying out a treatment of cancer by employing a combination of a treatment by the administration of an immune checkpoint inhibitor and a treatment for improving the sensitivity to the immune checkpoint inhibitor and, therefore, can be used as an immunotherapy that can be expected to have an excellent therapeutic effect; and a medicine which can be used for the cancer treatment method.

Provided are a tumor immune enhancer, a pharmaceutical composition thereof, and a preparation method therefor. The enhancer comprises one or more polypeptides using sequences shown in SEQ ID NOs.: 1-9 as core structures, and can be used for preparing tumor vaccines.

Provided are octavalent influenza vaccine compositions comprising eight mRNA, each mRNA comprising an open reading frame encoding a different influenza antigen. Also provided are lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for delivering said mRNA.

Provided are a cognitive function improving agent effective for improving cognitive function such as memory and learning ability, and a method for evaluating or selecting the cognitive function improving agent. The cognitive function improving agent comprises a GIP function inhibitor as an active ingredient.

The present invention is drawn to new oral live canine parainfluenza virus vaccines and related multivalent vaccines. Methods of using the vaccine alone or in combination with one or more other protective immunogens in multivalent vaccines are also provided.

The present disclosure relates to methods for treating Lupus Nephritis (LN) using IL-17 antagonists, e.g., secukinumab. Also disclosed herein are IL-17 antagonists, e.g., IL-17 antibodies, such as secukinumab, for treating LN patients, as well as medicaments, dosing regimens, pharmaceutical formulations, dosage forms, and kits for use in the disclosed uses and methods.

This disclosure relates to the field of RNA to prevent or treat coronavirus infection. In particular, the present disclosure relates to methods and agents for vaccination against coronavirus infection and inducing effective coronavirus antigen-specific immune responses such as antibody and/or T cell responses. Specifically, in one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to methods comprising administering to a subject RNA encoding a peptide or protein comprising an epitope of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S protein) for inducing an immune response against coronavirus S protein, in particular S protein of SARS-CoV-2, in the subject, i.e., vaccine RNA encoding vaccine antigen.

The present invention relates generally to the field of immunogenic compositions containing volatile salts. In certain embodiments, compositions and methods disclosed herein relate to producing and using novel combinations to create frozen immunogenic agents bound to adjuvant having improved formulations and improved consistency of distribution of adjuvant for storage and subsequent delivery to a subject in need thereof.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to complexes comprising a muscle-targeting agent covalently linked to a molecular payload. In some embodiments, the muscle-targeting agent specifically binds to an internalizing cell surface receptor on muscle cells. In some embodiments, the molecular payload inhibits expression or activity of DUX4. In some embodiments, the molecular payload is an oligonucleotide, such as an antisense oligonucleotide or RNAi oligonucleotide.
