Patent number: 11925694Abstract: This disclosure relates to the field of RNA to prevent or treat coronavirus infection. In particular, the present disclosure relates to methods and agents for vaccination against coronavirus infection and inducing effective coronavirus antigen-specific immune responses such as antibody and/or T cell responses. Specifically, in one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to methods comprising administering to a subject RNA encoding a peptide or protein comprising an epitope of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S protein) for inducing an immune response against coronavirus S protein, in particular S protein of SARS-CoV-2, in the subject. i.e., vaccine RNA encoding vaccine antigen.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: BioNTech SEInventors: Ugur Sahin, Alptekin Güler, Andreas Kuhn, Alexander Muik, Annette Vogel, Kerstin Walzer, Sonja Witzel, Stephanie Hein, Özlem Türeci

Patent number: 10612685Abstract: A connection adapter for connecting a process chamber to a measuring system, in particular to a pressure, density or temperature measuring system, which includes at least three ports, having a process port, the process port being connected or connectable to the process chamber, a measuring port, the measuring system being connected or connectable to the measuring port, and an access port, which includes a self-sealing coupling. The connection adapter, furthermore includes a line system, having lines and at least one closable shutoff device. The line system connecting the process port to the measuring port and the access port, the connection between the process port and the measuring port being blockable gas-tight with the aid of the shutoff device, and the access port being connected or connectable to the measuring port via the line system. A measuring apparatus having a connection adapter is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: WIKA Alexander Wiegand SE & Co. KGInventors: Carmen Lippert, Alexander Hein, Arthur Boettcher
