Abstract: A vaccine for preventing CoV infection includes at least one DNA, RNA or protein sequence for S protein with at least one modification which is a full deletion or partial deletion of the SI region or a partial or full replacement of the SI region. A method of vaccinating a mammal subject against infection from at least one group of CoV includes separating a broad group of CoV into homology groups, creating a modified S protein containing at least one modification at its S1 region, and identifying at least one consensus sequence for each homology group which has a sequence identity of greater than 60% to all other members of the homology group. The consensus sequence is a protein sequence for the modified S protein, a DNA sequence encoding the modified S protein, and an RNA sequence encoding the modified S protein.

Abstract: A recombinant protein and a vaccine composition for porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) are provided. The recombinant protein is a fusion protein formed by connecting the truncated segment of S protein (Spike protein) from porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) in tandem with the Fc fragment of porcine IgG, and the truncated fragment of S protein is preferably selected from N-terminal domain (NTD) with sialic acid binding activity in S1 subunit of S protein, neutralizing epitope domain (COE) and multiple B-cell epitopes in S2 subunit; the vaccine composition contains recombinant protein and adjuvants. The recombinant protein of the application can produce IgG antibody and neutralizing antibody titers of rather high level after immunizing mice, and the proportions of CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+ lymphocytes and the concentrations of IFN-? and IL-4 in lymphocytes are significantly increased.
Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies binding to Coronavirus S protein and the uses of the antibodies in detecting and treating Coronavirus infection, such as COVID-19.

Abstract: Phosphate-regulated expression of recombinant glycoprotein antigens and other recombinant proteins in diatoms is described herein. More specifically, described herein is the expression and purification of glycosylated, immunogenic, and serologically active receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, as well as SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein, in the marine pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, as well as a functional lateral flow assay-based diagnostic device based on the produced recombinant RBD and nucleocapsid protein. Also described herein is the use of phosphate/iron levels in culture media to regulate expression/secretion of recombinant proteins under control of an HASP1 promoter in P. tricornutum or other suitable host cells. Also described herein is a method for increasing the expression/secretion of a recombinant protein by engineering the recombinant protein to lack a Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) protease cleavage site.

Abstract: A non-antigenic microRNA exosomal vaccination that includes dendritic-derived exosomes resulting from the incubation of dendritic cells with Spike Protein of a COVID-19 virus so that the dendritic cells process the Spike Protein of the COVID-19 virus to enable education of naïve T-cells. The exosomes so-derived are then harvested and encapsulated for delayed release oral capsule delivery to selectively reach intestinal antigen-presenting cells in the terminal ileum for stimulating an acquired immune response to the Spike Protein of the COVID-19 virus.
