  • Publication number: 20240053339
    Abstract: Pseudotyped lentiviral vector particles bearing a SARS-CoV-2 S protein and comprising a heterologous polynucleotide that encodes a label or a recombinase. Compositions or kits comprising the pseudotyped lentiviral vector particles and a mammalian cell expressing an Angiotensin-converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) protein. Methods of assaying for the presence of neutralizing antibodies against a SARS-CoV-2 S protein in a sample comprising antibodies by providing pseudotyped lentiviral vector particles bearing a SARS-CoV-2 S protein and comprising a heterologous polynucleotide that encodes a label or a recombinase; providing mammalian cells expressing an ACE2 protein; contacting the mammalian cells expressing the ACE2 protein with the pseudotyped lentiviral vector particles bearing a SARS-CoV-2 S protein in the presence of a sample comprising antibodies; and assaying for the presence of a label in the mammalian cells.

  • Publication number: 20230364216
    Abstract: The invention relates to a recombinant lentiviral vector genome comprising a polynucleotide encoding a fusion polypeptide, wherein said fusion protein comprises arranged from N-terminal to C-terminal ends: (i) a first polypeptide comprising a multimerization scaffold which comprises at least one collectin or a fragment thereof suitable to enable self-assembly of multimers of the first polypeptide, fused with at least one antigenic polypeptide; (ii) a second polypeptide comprising a CD40L ectodomain or a receptor binding fragment thereof, in particular the CD40L ectodomain of the human CD40L. The invention also relates to a lentiviral vector and pharmaceutical compositions comprising it.
