  • Publication number: 20250144200
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are intranasal immunogenic compositions comprising viral glycoprotein nanoparticles, which are suitable for use as vaccines. The nanoparticles present antigens from pathogens surrounded to and associated with a detergent core resulting in enhanced stability and good immunogenicity. Dosages, formulations, and methods for preparing the vaccines and nanoparticles are also disclosed. Methods for using the intranasal immunogenic compositions to stimulate an immune response in a subject against a virus are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20250066456
    Abstract: Infectious diseases remain a problem throughout the world. The outbreak of sudden acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Co V-2) has infected more than 640 million people worldwide. SARS-Co V-2 causes the disease COVID-19. Mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 S spike protein enable SARS-CoV-2 variants to escape neutralizing monoclonal antibodies produced from previous infection with SARS-CoV2 or by vaccination. The present invention provides antibodies that bind to the SARS-Co V-2 Spike (S) protein. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions, immunotherapeutic compositions, and methods using the aforementioned antibodies that bind to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S) protein.

  • Publication number: 20240325523
    Abstract: An immunogenic composition for inducing immune responses against both influenza and coronaviruses includes: (a) a coronavirus S (CoV S) glycoprotein in the form of a detergent-core nanoparticle, wherein the detergent is a non-ionic detergent; (b) at least three hemagglutinin (HA) glycoproteins, wherein each HA glycoprotein is from a different influenza strain; and (c) a pharmaceutically acceptable buffer. An immunogenic composition for inducing immune response against influenza includes: (a) at least three hemagglutinin (HA) glycoproteins, wherein each HA glycoprotein is from a different influenza strain, wherein from 30 to 60 ?g of HA per strain is present in the composition; and (b) a pharmaceutically acceptable buffer. The immunogenic compositions may include an adjuvant. Methods of stimulating an immune response against SARS-COV-2, a heterogeneous SARS-COV-2 strain, an influenza virus, or a combination thereof include the administration of the immunogenic compositions.
