Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for treating or preventing bacterial infection. In particular, the methods and compositions are directed towards C. difficile infection. In particular aspects, the compositions are vaccines containing multimeric polypeptides containing portions of multiple toxins from bacteria. The polypeptides induce effective immune responses thus treating or preventing infection.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are coronavirus Spike (S) proteins and nanoparticles comprising the same, which are suitable for use in vaccines. The nanoparticles present antigens from pathogens surrounded to and associated with a detergent core resulting in enhanced stability and good immunogenicity. Dosages, formulations, and methods for preparing the vaccines and nanoparticles are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are multivalent nanoparticle vaccine compositions suitable for use in influenza vaccines. The nanoparticles include effective amounts of influenza glycoproteins that provide increased immune responses compared to a commercially available influenza vaccine composition. The present disclosure also provides vaccine formulation strategies that are cost effective and are convenient for clinical use. Methods of administering the nanoparticle vaccine compositions to a subject are also disclosed.
