A set of target peptides are presented by HLA A*0101, A*0201, A*0301, B*4402, B*2705, B*1402, and B*0702 on the surface of disease cells. They are envisioned to among other things (a) stimulate an immune response to the proliferative disease, e.g., cancer, (b) to function as immunotherapeutics in adoptive T cell therapy or as a vaccine, (c) facilitate antibody recognition of tumor boundaries in surgical pathology samples, (d) act as biomarkers for early detection and/or diagnosis of the disease, and (e) act as targets in the generation antibody-like molecules which recognize the target-peptide/MHC complex.

Provided is a novel coronavirus vaccine using replication-deficient human type 5 adenovirus as a vector. The vaccine takes the replication-deficient human type 5 adenovirus that is lack of E1 and E3 in a combined mode as a vector, and HEK293 cells that integrate adenovirus E1 genes serve as a packaging cell line, and protective antigenic genes carried are optimized COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) S protein genes (Ad5-nCoV). The vaccine has good immunogenicity in both mouse and guinea pig models and can induce the body to produce a strong cellular and humoral immune responses in a short time. Research on the protective effect of hACE2 transgenic mice shows that 14 days after a single Ad5-nCoV immunization, the viral load in lung tissues can be significantly reduced. It shows that the vaccine has a good immune protection effect against COVID-19.

An immunogenic composition comprising: (i) a non-virion influenza virus antigen, prepared from a virus grown in cell culture; and (ii) an adjuvant. Preferred adjuvants comprise oil-in-water emulsions.

Pan-coronavirus recombinant vaccine compositions featuring whole proteins or sequences of proteins encompassing all mutations in variants of human and animal Coronaviruses (e.g., 36 mutations in spike protein) or a combination of mutated B cell epitopes, mutated combination of B cell epitopes, mutated CD4+ T cell epitopes, and mutated CD8+ T cell epitopes, at least one of which is derived from a non-spike protein. The mutated epitopes may comprise one or more mutations. The present invention also describes using several immuno-informatics and sequence alignment approaches to identify several human B cell, CD4+ and CD8+ T cell epitopes that are highly mutated. The vaccine compositions herein have the potential to provide long-lasting B and T cell immunity regardless of human and animal Coronaviruses mutations.

Compositions and methods for treating a viral infection may comprise use of an adenoviral vector. An adenoviral vector of the present disclosure may comprise a non-human adenoviral genome with one or more gene locus functionally removed and a transgene. A method of treating a viral infection may comprise administering a composition comprising an adenoviral vector of the present disclosure, to a subject and reducing the infectivity or transmission of the virus. Intranasal administration provides enhance protection of the upper respiratory tract of a subject relative to intramuscular administration.

The present invention relates to prime-boost regimens that involve the administration of at least one mRNA construct, such as the use of such constructs in “boost” administration subsequently to “prime” administration of certain other antigenic composition(s). Such inventive regimens may, in particular, be useful for the induction of an immune response in a subject, and/or the vaccination of such subject against infection from one or more pathogens, and/or the treatment or prevention of one or more diseases or conditions, including a tumour or cancer, allergy or autoimmune conditions, and/or a disease or condition associated with infection from a pathogen. The present invention further describes methods, uses, vaccination compositions, kits and packaged vaccine components related to or useful for one or more of such regimens.

The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

Technologies for the prevention and/or treatment of pneumococcal infections.

Provided by the current invention is a biocompatible polymeric particle having a diameter of from 50nm to 65nm and methods for use thereof. A method to induce antigen specific CD8 T cells and Thl response is also provided.

Mixed allergen compositions of two or more different allergens are provided. In some instances, the mixed allergen compositions include: a nut allergen; an animal allergen; and at least one of: a non-nut plant allergen; a biotic agent; and a vitamin. Also provided are methods of administering the mixed allergen compositions to a subject. The mixed allergen compositions find use in a variety of applications, including health maintenance, immune balance, gut balance, immune support, health improvement and therapeutic applications.
