Described herein are virus-like particles (VLPs) that display on their surfaces antigenic paramyxovirus (e.g., RSV and/or MPV) proteins. Also described are methods of making and using these VLPs.

Provided are virus-like particle vaccines for human metapneumovirus (hMPV) in which the ectodomain of hMPV F protein is linked to, and thereby displayed on, a symmetric protein-based virus-like particle. For example, the vaccine antigen may be a N-terminal fusion of the ectodomain of hMPV F protein to a protein having a multimerization domain for a one- or two-component virus-like particle, such as a two-component icosahedral virus-like particle. Further provided are vaccine compositions, methods of manufacturing, and methods of use, e.g., immunizing a subject to generate a protective immune response to hMPV.

Provided are compositions pharmaceutical compositions, comprising two or more virus-like particles (VLPs), wherein a first virus-like particle (VLP) comprises a first component comprising a respiratory syntactical virus (RSV) F protein ectodomain or antigenic variant thereof; and a second virus-like particle (VLP) comprises a first component comprising a comprises a human metapneumovirus (hMPV) F protein ectodomain or antigenic variant thereof. Further provided are methods of using said compositions for vaccination.
