  • Publication number: 20230405106
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8674063
    Abstract: The present invention is relative to chimerical peptides, whose primary structure holds at least one segment which inhibits the activation of the NS3 protease of a virus from the Flaviviridae family, they also contain a cell penetrating segment and they are capable of inhibiting or attenuate the viral infection. This invention is also relative to pharmaceutical compounds which contain these chimerical peptides for the prevention and/or treatment of the infection caused by a virus of the Flaviviridae family.

  • Patent number: 8420311
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for blocking the infection of cells by dengue virus, based on interfering the direct interaction of the viral envelope protein with a cellular receptor or its indirect interaction with said cellular receptor through a carrier protein, as well as related uses; wherein said cellular receptor is the alpha-2 macroglobulin receptor, also known as the low density receptor-related protein or as CD91, and said carrier protein is human alpha-2 macroglobulin.

  • Patent number: 7736638
    Abstract: Current invention is related to the molecular pharmacology branch particularly to a peptide belonging to the Interleukin-15 sequence (IL-15) which is able to inhibit IL-15 biological activity, analogues or mimetic of such peptides. In the current invention it is shown that the peptide inhibits both IL-15-induced T cells proliferation upon binding to the IL15 receptor a subunit (IL15R?) and TNF?-mediated apoptosis. Besides, this invention is related to the use of this peptide in the treatment of several pathologies where aberrant IL-15 or IL-15R? expression is associated to the disease progression.
