Abstract: 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.
