  • Publication number: 20210171581
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions that include an isolated glycosylated polypeptide comprising at least 50 amino acid residues of a surface glycoprotein of a filovirus and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The glycosylated polypeptide corresponds to one or more structural subunits of the glycoprotein. When the compositions are administered to a subject, they stimulate an innate immune response. The response can be stimulated with administration in the absence of an adjuvant. Methods of using the compositions and for their production are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20070082011
    Abstract: Filovirus subunit protein immunogens are produced using a recombinant expression system and combined with one or more adjuvants in immunogenic formulations. The subunit proteins include GP95, GP-FL, VP40, VP24, and NP derived from Ebola Virus and Marburg Virus. Adjuvants include saponins, emulsions, alum, and dipeptidyl peptidase inhibitors. The disclosed immunogenic formulations are effective in inducing strong antibody responses directed against individual Filovirus proteins and intact Filovirus particles as well as stimulating cell-mediated immune responses to the Filoviruses.
