  • Patent number: 11021520
    Abstract: Nucleic acid molecules and compositions comprising one or more nucleic acid sequences that encode an RSV immunogen are disclosed. Nucleic acids are disclosed that comprise the sequences that encodes consensus RSV F protein or immuno-genic fragment thereof, sequences that encodes an RSV G(A) protein or immunogenic fragment thereof and sequences that encodes an RSV G(B) protein or immunogenic fragment thereof. Compositions comprising one, combinations of two or all three sequences are disclosed. The coding sequences optionally include operable linked coding sequence that encode a signal peptide. Nucleic acid molecules and compositions comprising the chemokine CC20 and/or a consensus RSV M2-1 protein or immunogenic fragment thereof are also disclosed. Immunomodulatory methods and methods of inducing an immune response against RSV are disclosed. Methods of preventing RSV infection and methods of treating individuals infected with RSV are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9675690
    Abstract: Provided herein are nucleic acid sequences encoding hepatitis B virus (HBV) core proteins, surface antigen proteins, fragments and combinations thereof as well as genetic constructs/vectors and vaccines that express said protein sequences. These vaccines are able to induce an immune response peripherally and in the liver by recruiting both cellular and humoral agents. Also provided are methods for prophylactically and/or therapeutically immunizing individuals against HBV. The combination vaccine can also be used for particular design vaccines for particular levels of immune responses to HBV challenge.
