Publication number: 20230405106Abstract: The present invention provides a chimeric protein that has a modular structure and comprises a receptor binding domain (RBD) from the spike protein (S) of coronaviruses, a segment able to bind the core antigen from the Hepatitis B Virus (HBcAg), a segment including six consecutive histidine residues (HHHHHH), and two spacer segments. In this chimeric protein the aforementioned segments are arranged in a specific order, and the protein is able to form hybrid nanoparticles with HBcAg. The chimeric protein is part of vaccine compositions used for the prevention of coronavirus infections. Therefore, the invention discloses a method for the prevention of coronavirus infections, whereby a vaccine composition comprising said chimeric protein is administered.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2021Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Glay CHINEA SANTIAGO, Alejandro Miguel MARTÍN DUNN, Diamilé GONZÁLEZ ROCHE, Miladys LIMONTA FERNÁNDEZ, Enrique IGLESIAS PÉREZ, Mónica BEQUET ROMERO, Héctor SANTANA MILIAN, Gabriel J.
