Abstract: The invention relates to a single unit dose of a dengue vaccine composition and methods and uses for preventing dengue disease and methods for stimulating an immune response to all four dengue virus serotypes in a subject or subject population. The unit dose of a dengue vaccine composition includes constructs of each dengue serotype, such as TDV-1, TDV-2, TDV-3 and TDV-4, at various concentrations in order to improve protection from dengue infection.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method, i.e. an immunoassay, for determining the presence and/or the amount of anti-zika Anti-ZIKV #1 virus antibodies, i.e. zika virus-specific antibodies in a sample. Therefore, the present invention is directed to a microsphere complex comprising a microsphere coupled to a zika virus like particle, as well as to a kit comprising said microsphere complex and an amount of reporter antibody that binds to the zika virus like particle. The present invention further relates to a method for determining an antibody correlate of protection against zika virus infection for a zika virus vaccine. Moreover, the present invention is directed to a method for diagnosing the protection of a human or non-human subject against a zika virus infection.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to Zika virus vaccines and immunogenic compositions having one or more antigens from a Zika virus (e.g., a Zika virus clonal isolate, a non-human cell adapted Zika virus, etc.), and methods of treatments and uses thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to single dose parenteral vaccine compositions comprising mixtures of monovalent Norovirus virus-like particles. Methods of conferring protective immunity against Norovirus infections in a human subject by administering such compositions are also disclosed.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to compositions and methods for stabilizing Flaviviruses. In certain embodiments, compositions and methods disclosed herein concern stabilizing live, attenuated or unattenuated (e.g. live whole) flaviviruses. Other embodiments relate to compositions and methods for reducing degradation of live, attenuated or unattenuated flaviviruses. Other embodiments relate to improved formulations for prolonging stabilization of live attenuated or unattenuated Flaviviruses during manufacturing, storage, accelerated storage and transport. Yet other embodiments relate to uses of compositions disclosed herein in kits for transportable applications and methods.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for determining the potency of an antigen sample such as a vaccine antigen sample. The present disclosure is also related to a method for monitoring the potency of a vaccine antigen during the production process including purifying, inactivating and formulating the vaccine antigen and to a method for producing a virus vaccine. Further, the present disclosure relates to vaccines obtainable by the methods disclosed. In certain embodiments of the present invention the antigen sample is a zika virus antigen sample.
