Abstract: The invention relates to immunogenic compositions and vaccines containing a coronavirus (e.g., Wuhan coronavirus (2019-nCoV; also referred to as SARS-CoV-2)) protein or a polynucleotide encoding a coronavirus (e.g., Wuhan coronavirus (2019-nCoV; SARS-CoV-2)) protein and uses thereof. The invention also provides methods of treating and/or preventing a coronavirus (e.g., Wuhan coronavirus (2019-nCoV; SARS-CoV-2)) infection by administering an immunogenic composition or vaccine to a subject (e.g., a human). The invention also provides methods of detecting and/or monitoring a protective anti-coronavirus (e.g., Wuhan coronavirus (2019-nCoV; SARS-CoV-2)) antibody response (e.g., anti-coronavirus antibody response, e.g., anti-2019-nCoV antibody response, e.g., anti-Spike antibody response, e.g., anti-Spike neutralizing antibody response).

Abstract: Described are binding molecules, such as human monoclonal antibodies, that bind to an epitope in the stem region of hemagglutinin of influenza A viruses of phylogenetic group 1 and group 2, as well as influenza B viruses, and have a broad neutralizing activity against such influenza viruses. Provided are nucleic acid molecules encoding the binding molecules, their sequences, and compositions comprising the binding molecules. The binding molecules can be used, for example, in the diagnosis, prophylaxis, and/or treatment of influenza A viruses of phylogenetic groups 1 and 2, as well as influenza B viruses.

Abstract: In the absence of substantial sequence overlap between a recombinant adenoviral vector and the genome of a packaging cell, helper-dependent E1-containing particles (HDEP) can be formed at low frequency. Provided are means and methods for reducing or preventing the generation of HDEP. To this purpose, novel packaging cells and methods of making these are provided.

Abstract: Provided are methods and means to increase the stability and/or the packaging capacity of recombinant adenoviruses, by overexpression of pIX in an adenoviral packaging cell, by retaining at least a part of the E1B-55K region in the recombinant adenoviral vector or by regulating pIX with a heterologous promoter. The invention further relates to methods and means for the production of such adenoviruses on complementing cell lines, wherein the early region 4 open reading frame 6 (E4-orf6) encoding nucleic acid is present in the adenovirus and wherein the E4-orf6 gene product is compatible with one or more products of the E1 gene products in the complementing cell, such that the adenoviral vector can be efficiently produced by the complementing cell.
