  • Patent number: 11925694
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to the field of RNA to prevent or treat coronavirus infection. In particular, the present disclosure relates to methods and agents for vaccination against coronavirus infection and inducing effective coronavirus antigen-specific immune responses such as antibody and/or T cell responses. Specifically, in one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to methods comprising administering to a subject RNA encoding a peptide or protein comprising an epitope of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S protein) for inducing an immune response against coronavirus S protein, in particular S protein of SARS-CoV-2, in the subject. i.e., vaccine RNA encoding vaccine antigen.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 18, 2022
    Date of Patent: March 12, 2024
    Assignee: BioNTech SE
    Inventors: Ugur Sahin, Alptekin Güler, Andreas Kuhn, Alexander Muik, Annette Vogel, Kerstin Walzer, Sonja Witzel, Stephanie Hein, Özlem Türeci
