  • Patent number: 10806779
    Abstract: Described are methods for preparing virosomes comprising the steps of: (a) providing an enveloped virus, and optionally inactivating the virus; (b) solubilizing the viral envelopes in a first solubilizing agent; (c) pre-solubilizing exogenous components in a second solubilizing agent; (d) adding the pre-solubilized exogenous components to the solubilized viral envelopes; and (e) reconstituting virosomal membranes by removing the solubilizing agent. According to the disclosure, the viral envelopes and the exogenous components are (pre-)solubilized at a temperature below 33° C.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160129106
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods for preparing a virosome preparation comprising viral envelope protein of at least two, preferably at least three, more preferably at least four, different enveloped viruses, as well as to virosomal preparations obtained thereby. The disclosure also relates to the use of the virosomal preparations, e.g., as a vaccine.
