Abstract: Disclosed herein is a live attenuated recombinant measles virus (rMeV)-based coronavirus vaccine containing a SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein that has at least one mutation to remove a glycosylation site. In some embodiments, the rMeVs-based coronavirus vaccine contains full-length stabilized pre-fusion and native S proteins, S proteins of SARS-CoV-2 variants, truncated S proteins lacking its transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains, S proteins lacking glycosylation sites, the monomeric and trimeric receptor-binding domain (RBD), the monomeric and trimeric S1 protein, Fc-fused RBD, or Fc-fused S1 protein. Also disclosed is a live attenuated recombinant coronavirus vaccine, wherein a stabilized prefusion spike (S) protein is inserted into a viral vector genome.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods of promoting immune responses against coronavirus, such as SARS-CoV-2, and compositions related thereto. In certain embodiments, this disclosure relates to methods of vaccinating for coronavirus comprising administering to the subject a composition disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, the composition comprises a recombinant virus such as recombinant MVA that encodes a coronavirus spike protein. In certain embodiments, the coronavirus spike protein comprises a proline mutation at position 986. In certain embodiments, the coronavirus spike protein comprises a proline mutation at position 987.
Abstract: Disclosed are a novel coronavirus-derived receptor-binding domain variant having reduced ACE2-binding affinity, a fusion protein comprising the same, and the use thereof. It is possible to overcome the drawbacks of conventional vaccines using the coronavirus spike protein or receptor-binding domain thereof, wherein the reduced ACE2 expression due to binding to ACE2 and negative feedback may lead to side effects of the lungs or heart, and in particular, may be fatal to patients suffering from underlying diseases of the lungs or heart. In particular, the fusion protein constructed by fusing the coronavirus receptor-binding domain with the Fc domain is imparted with a greatly improved in-vivo half-life, and has superior efficacy by further combining N protein, M protein, ORF protein, or the like of SARS-CoV-2 therewith through additional modification and thus is highly applicable to a multivalent immunogenic composition.
