Abstract: The present invention relates to modular nanoparticle-based compositions based on nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, which are particularly useful in prophylaxis and/or treatment of diseases and disorders.

Abstract: Disclosed are immunization antigens that have been glyco-engineered to include non-native glycosylation patterns with a view to enhance their properties as antigens for use in such areas as vaccination and antibody production. Also disclosed are to means and methods for producing the glycomodified antigens as well of methods and uses of the glycomodified antigens.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides genetically modified insect cells that can produce glycosylated expression products having a human-like glycosylation pattern. In particular, the cells comprise disruption of the fdl and/or FucT6 genes. Also provided is expression systems and methods for recombinant protein production.

Abstract: The present description relates to malaria vaccines comprising Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) polypeptide complexes and methods of producing the same. The Pf polypeptides in complexes or in a partially complexed arrangement may comprise two or more of the following polypeptides: PfRipr, PfCyrPa and PfRh5. Drosophila cells and expression vectors are also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides suitable for protection against and diagnosis of the conditions caused by flavivirus infections. More specifically, the invention concerns subunits of the zika virus envelope glycoprotein E secreted as mature recombinantly produced proteins from eucaryotic cells, such as from insect cells. Additional viral proteins or subunits, also produced in this way, provide additional active ingredients. These protein subunits, alone or in combination including combination with additional viral-derived peptides are protective against infection by flavivirus, such as zika virus, raise antibodies useful in immunization, and are useful in diagnosis of infection by the virus.
