The invention provides a process for generating parvovirus VP1/VP2 virus like particles (VLPs). The invention further provides methods for purification of the parvovirus VLPs and immunogenic compositions that contain the VLPs. The invention also includes recombinant nucleic acid molecules that encode parvovirus VP1 and VP2, and host cells that contain the recombinant nucleic acids.

Some embodiments of the invention include inventive polypeptides (e.g., mutant VP2 proteins) and virus-like particles made from the inventive polypeptides. Other embodiments of the invention include compositions for treating (e.g., preventing) parvovirus (e.g., erythrovirus or parvovirus B19) infection and other diseases. Further embodiments include methods for administering compositions to an animal. Other embodiments include treating (e.g., preventing) parvovirus (e.g., erythrovirus or parvovirus B19) infection and other diseases. Still other embodiments include nucleic acid sequences that encode the inventive polypeptides. Additional embodiments of the invention are also discussed.

This invention generally relates to immunogenic compositions that comprise an RNA component and a polypeptide component. Immunogenic compositions that deliver antigens in two different formsa first antigen from a pathogen, in RNA-coded form; and a second antigen from a different pathogen, in polypeptide formare effective in inducing immune response to both pathogens.
