Abstract: Compositions and vaccine combinations containing synthetic HIV envelope proteins, and methods for inducing an immune response against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are described. Viral expression vectors encoding the synthetic HIV envelope proteins can be used in the vaccine combinations to induce immune responses against HIV and provide improved protective immunity against HIV.

Abstract: Poxvirus vectors encoding a synthetic HIV envelope antigen and other HIV antigens, as well as compositions containing such poxvirus vectors and uses of such poxvirus vectors as vaccines to provide improved immunity against HIV, are provided. Also provided are vaccine combinations containing the disclosed poxvirus vectors, adenovirus vectors encoding one or more HIV antigens, and one or more isolated HIV antigenic polypeptides, and methods of using the vaccine combinations to provide improved immunity against HIV.

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: Methods of inducing an immune response against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are described. In particular, methods of inducing an immune response against HIV by co-locally administering an immunogenically effective amount of an isolated HIV envelope (Env) polypeptide and an immunogenically effective amount of an adenovirus vector encoding an HIV antigen, e.g., Env antigen are described. The isolated HIV Env polypeptide and adenovirus vector can be administered in a single composition or in separate compositions, in which the composition or compositions do not contain an adjuvant.

Abstract: Methods are described for generating an improved effective immune response against an HIV antigen in humans. The methods comprise administration of a first composition comprising an MVA vector followed by administration of second composition comprising a human adenovirus vector. The methods can be used for the treatment of HIV.
