Abstract: The present disclosure relates in some aspects to immunogenic compositions including recombinant peptides and proteins comprising coronavirus viral antigens and immunogens, e.g., coronavirus S protein peptides. In some aspects, the immunogenic composition comprises a secreted fusion protein comprising a soluble coronavirus viral antigen joined by in-frame fusion to a C-terminal portion of a collagen which is capable of self-trimerization to form a disulfide bond-linked trimeric fusion protein. In some aspects, the immunogenic compositions provided herein are useful for generating an immune response, e.g., for treating or preventing a coronavirus infection. In some aspects, the immunogenic compositions provided herein may be used in a vaccine composition, e.g., as part of a prophylactic and/or therapeutic vaccine. Also provided herein are methods for producing the recombinant peptides and proteins, prophylactic, therapeutic, and/or diagnostic methods, and related kits.
Abstract: Disclosed is cold-adapted live attenuated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) prepared by infecting cells with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and then adapting the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus to a temperature from 37° C. to 22° C. in a step by step manner. Further, a vaccine containing the cold-adapted live attenuated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is disclosed.

Abstract: Provided is a Helicobacter pylori ferritin-based novel coronavirus S protein single-region subunit nano-vaccine. According to the present invention, a receptor binding domain (RBD) of a virus is used as an antigen and is connected with a Helicobacter pylori multimeric protein (HP_Ferritin) to form a fusion protein RBD-HP_Ferritin, such that antigen multimerization is realized; and an eukaryotic cell expression system is then utilized for expression, so as to form a 24-mer nano-antigen by means of the self-assembly action of the HP_Ferritin. According to the solution, the defect that RBD monomers are insufficient in immunogenicity can be overcome; the obtained vaccine can remarkably improve the level of neutralizing antibodies of a host to viruses; and the generated antibodies have the capacity to strongly prevent the viruses from invading target cells.
Abstract: Provided herein are therapeutic nucleic acid molecules for managing, preventing and/or treating infectious diseases caused by coronavirus. Also provided herein are therapeutic compositions, including vaccines and lipid nanoparticles, comprising the therapeutic nucleic acids and related therapeutic methods and uses.

Abstract: A fusion gene, a recombinant novel coronavirus high-efficiency immune DNA vaccine, a construction method and use thereof are provided. The immune DNA vaccine ZD-nCor19 provided herein uses RBD protein, residues 301-538 in the S2 subunit and residues 138-369 in the N protein of the novel coronavirus as target antigens, and has specific immune synergism molecules introduced at suitable positions, and thus can simultaneously efficiently induce humoral immunity and cellular immunity, and can avoid safety problems associated with ADE that may be generated by the full-length S protein and the full-length N protein, thereby achieving dual effects of prevention and treatment. The vaccine can be used as a safe, efficient and stable vaccine variety against novel coronavirus infection.
