Abstract: This invention provides a vaccine which contains, per dose, an effective immunizing amount of an inactivated feline enteric coronavirus and a suitable carrier. The vaccine of this invention may also contain an adjuvant, an effective immunizing amount of a second inactivated virus and a an effective immunizing amount of an inactivated bacteria. Additionally provided by this invention is a method of immunizing a dog against disease caused by canine coronavirus involving administering to the dog a dose of the vaccine of this invention. The method of this invention may also involve administering one or more additional doses of vaccine to the dog, immunizing the dog against disease caused by a second virus and immunizing the dog against disease caused by a bacteria.
Abstract: Provided is a novel coronavirus vaccine using replication-deficient human type 5 adenovirus as a vector. The vaccine takes the replication-deficient human type 5 adenovirus that is lack of E1 and E3 in a combined mode as a vector, and HEK293 cells that integrate adenovirus E1 genes serve as a packaging cell line, and protective antigenic genes carried are optimized COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) S protein genes (Ad5-nCoV). The vaccine has good immunogenicity in both mouse and guinea pig models and can induce the body to produce a strong cellular and humoral immune responses in a short time. Research on the protective effect of hACE2 transgenic mice shows that 14 days after a single Ad5-nCoV immunization, the viral load in lung tissues can be significantly reduced. It shows that the vaccine has a good immune protection effect against COVID-19.

Abstract: Provided is an orally administrable vaccine against a coronavirus infectious disease. A transformed Bifidobacterium designed to display a part or a whole of a constituent protein of a coronavirus on a surface of the Bifidobacterium enables the provision of the orally administrable vaccine against a coronavirus infectious disease. The transformed Bifidobacterium designed to display a part or a whole of a constituent protein of a coronavirus on a surface of the Bifidobacterium can induce humoral immunity and cellular immunity through oral administration to suppress an increase in severity of pneumonia or the like even after viral infection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a DNA vaccine comprising a Salmonella typhi Ty21a strain comprising a DNA molecule comprising a eukaryotic expression cassette encoding at least a COVID-19 coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) protein or a portion thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to the DNA vaccine for use in the prevention and/or the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or a SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Abstract: The present invention is inter alia directed to compositions comprising at least one nucleic acid encoding at least one antigenic peptide or protein selected or derived from a Coronavirus membrane protein (M), nucleocapsid protein (N), non-structural protein, and/or accessory protein or an immunogenic fragment or immunogenic variant thereof. The composition may additionally comprise at least one nucleic acid encoding at least one antigenic peptide or protein selected or derived from a Coronavirus spike protein (S). The nucleic acid sequences of the compositions are preferably in association with a polymeric carrier, a polycationic protein or peptide, or a lipid nanoparticle (LNP). The compositions provided herein are for use in treatment or prophylaxis of an infection with at least one Coronavirus, and may therefore be comprised in a vaccine, preferably a multivalent vaccine.
