  • Patent number: 11931410
    Abstract: Provided is a SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine, and the preparation method and use thereof. The present invention provides an mRNA molecule capable of encoding a target polypeptide, wherein the target polypeptide comprises an NTD-RBD natural domain in the Spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2, and wherein the NTD-RBD natural domain comprises an NTD fragment and an RBD fragment, the NTD fragment and the RBD fragment being linked together via a natural amino acid sequence derived from the S protein as a linker. The present invention provides an mRNA encoding a NTD-RBD natural domain in the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, which achieves an immune effect against SARS-CoV-2 mutant strains and is widely applicable.

  • Patent number: 11931415
    Abstract: A composition comprises: a base oil; an additive; and a drug. The additive has segments which are conjugated, e.g. covalently linked, together. A first segment facilitates solubility in the base oil, whereas a second segment facilitates drug solubility and/or modifies drug release or other behaviour. The first segment may for example comprise a poly(dimethylsiloxane)-containing moiety. The second segment may for example resemble a drug molecule. The composition may for example be used as a tamponade or as a component for a tamponade administered to the eye.
