Abstract: The present invention relates to prophylactic and/or therapeutic vaccines that contain Newcastle disease Virus (NDV) virus-like particles (VLPs) comprising one or more Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) antigens. In one embodiment, the invention provides a recombinant virus-like particle (VLP) comprising, in operable combination, a) Newcastle disease virus (NDV) matrix (M) protein, and b) one or more Epstein-Barr Virus (BBV) antigens. The invention's prophylactic and/or therapeutic vaccines are useful for preventing and/or treating infection with EBV and/or disease associated Epstein-Barr Virus, such as cancer.

Abstract: The invention provides expression vectors and virus-like particles (VLPs) containing Newcastle Disease Virus Sequences in combination with sequences encoding proteins of interest. The vectors are useful in, for example, generating virus-like particles (VLPs) that contain proteins of interest. In one embodiment, the expressed VLPs elicit an immune response by an animal host against the protein. The invention's VLPs are useful as, for example, vaccines.

Abstract: The invention provides RSV fusion (F) protein ectodomain polypeptide sequences and nucleotide sequences encoding them, as well as cells containing the invention's polypeptide and nucleotide sequences. The invention further provides VLPs that contain the invention's polypeptides, and methods for using the VLPs for protein expression and vaccine formulation. Also provided are methods for distinguishing between subjects immunized with the invention's compositions and subjects infected with RSV.

Abstract: The present invention discloses the method of making and using a novel, non-infective, paramyxovirus vaccine. Paramyxovirus structural proteins within a virus-like particle (VLP) comprise one example of such a vaccine. It is observed that the presence of matrix protein, alone, is sufficient and necessary to provide an effective VLP release. Co-expression of four paramyxovirus structural proteins, however, result in the release of non-infective VLPs with densities and efficiencies of release similar to that of infective particles. Representative diseases wherein a VLP vaccine might be useful include, but are not limited to, Newcastle disease, measles, respiratory syncytial virus infection, and parainfluenza 3 virus infection.
