Abstract: Agents that bind to sarbecoviruses of multiple clades, neutralizing sarbecovirus infection, in particular neutralizing SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 infection. The agents bind to a unique epitope of the sarbecovirus ACE2-receptor binding domain (RBD) but do not inhibit binding of ACE2 with the RBD. Applications and uses of these agents are further disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of virology, more specifically to the field of zoonotic Coronaviruses. Specifically, the invention provides for binding agents specific for the spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-Corona virus, more specifically for an epitope of the RBD present in a broad range of Sarbecoviruses and mutants thereof, even more specifically present in SARS-Cov and SARS-CoV-2 viruses. More specifically, the invention relates to compositions comprising antibodies capable of specifically binding and neutralizing SARS-Corona viruses.

Abstract: The present invention relates to immunoglobulin single variable domains (ISVDs) that are directed against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). More specifically, it relates to ISVDs that bind to the prefusion form of the fusion (F) protein of RSV. The invention relates further to the use of these ISVDs for prevention and/or treatment of RSV infections, and to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these ISVDs.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of immuno-oncology. More in particular, it relates to applying the mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) or variants thereof in immunotherapeutic treatment of cancer. The MLKL or variant thereof is inducing an adaptive immune response to cancer cells leading to treatment of primary tumors and preventing development of secondary tumor or tumor metastasis.

Abstract: Described is a vaccine against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). More specifically, described is a recombinant subunit vaccine comprising the ectodomain of the RSV-encoded Small Hydrophobic (SH) protein. The ectodomain of SH is referred to as SHe. The ectodomain is typically presented as an oligomer, or pentamer. Further described are antibodies, raised against the ectodomain or specific for the ectodomain, and their use for protecting a subject against RSV infection and/or for treatment of an infected subject.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cluster-based consensus approach for generating recombinant neuraminidase (NA) polypeptides. The disclosure further relates to influenza vaccine compositions comprising the recombinant NA polypeptides.
