ROTAVIRUS MRNA VACCINE
The invention is directed to a coding RNA for a Rotavirus vaccine. The coding RNA comprises at least one coding region encoding at least one antigenic peptide or protein of a Rotavirus, in particular VPS* of a Rotavirus, or immunogenic fragment or immunogenic variant thereof. The present invention is also directed to compositions and vaccines comprising said coding RNA in association with a polymeric carrier, a polycationic protein or peptide, or a lipid nanoparticle (LNP). Further, the invention concerns a kit, particularly a kit of parts comprising the coding RNA, or the composition, or the vaccine. The invention is also directed to a kit or kit of parts, medical treatments, and the first and second medical uses.
IMMUNOGENIC COMPOSITION USEFUL FOR VACCINATION AGAINST ROTAVIRUS
The present invention relates to immunogenic compositions comprising recombinantly constructed polypeptides useful for preparing vaccines, in particular for reducing one or more clinical signs caused by a rotavirus infection. More particular, the present invention is directed to an immunogenic composition containing (i) a fusion protein comprising in N- to C-terminal direction (A) an immunogenic fragment of a rotavirus VP8 protein and (B) an immunoglobulin Fc fragment such as, for example, an IgG Fc fragment, and (ii) an immunogenic substance, different from said fusion protein, wherein said immunogenic composition is usable in a method of reducing one or more clinical signs, mortality or fecal shedding caused by a rotavirus infection in swine.
TLR5 ligands, therapeutic methods, and compositions related thereto
The disclosure relates to antiviral therapeutic methods and related compositions. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods of treating or preventing a viral infection by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a TLR5 ligand, such as a flagellin, to a subject in need thereof.
