Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for inducing immunity against a virus such as a coronavirus in the mucosal tissue of a patient, include administering a vaccine composition to the patient by oral administration (e.g., nasal injection, nasal inhalation, oral inhalation, and/or oral ingestion). Also disclosed are compositions for assaying the presence of anti-viral antibodies induced by the administered vaccine or the presence of viral proteins in a saliva sample include a stabilizing solution and may also include the use of aragonite particle beads. Compositions and methods are presented for prevention and/or treatment of a coronavirus disease wherein the composition comprises a recombinant entity. The recombinant entity is bivalent, comprising a nucleic acid encoding a coronavirus 2 nucleocapsid protein CoV2 nucleocapsid protein fused to an endosomal targeting sequence, and a nucleic acid encoding a CoV2 spike protein sequence optimized for cell surface expression.

Abstract: An immunotherapeutic composition is contemplated that comprises subject-derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and at least one recombinant adenovirus subtype 5 (Ad5) comprising a deletion in an E1 gene region, a deletion in an E2b gene region, and a nucleic acid sequence encoding a peptide antigen, wherein the PBMC are exposed ex-vivo to the at least one Ad5 vector. Advantageously, the same PBMC composition may also be used to prepare modified NK cells, and especially modified NK include CIML NK cells, CENK cells and mCENK cells.
