Abstract: The present invention relates to a vaccine composition for preventing and/or treating a respiratory system infection such as a human metapneumovirus infection of the respiratory system. This vaccine composition comprises two or more modified human metapneumovirus (hMPV) F proteins or variants thereof provided in a pre-fusion and/or post-fusion conformation form.

Abstract: Described herein are Zika virus vaccines and compositions and methods of producing and administering said vaccines to subjects in need thereof.

Abstract: Described herein are SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and compositions and methods of producing and administering said vaccines to subjects in need thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of rescue and/or propagation of paramyxovirus species, particularly wherein both rescue and propagation are carried out in the same cell type; i.e., without the use of helper cells for viral rescue. The paramyxoviruses produced by the disclosed methods may encompass wild-type viruses, chimeric viruses, recombinant viruses or engineered viral products such as virus like particles (VLP). Viruses and/or viral products produced in the method according to the current invention are suitable for medical or veterinary use in such applications as treating or preventing infectious diseases, particularly avian paramyxovirus and human respiratory virus infections, and cancer treatment.
