  • Patent number: 7618635
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a super-antigen fusion protein, comprising: a peptide fragment whose sequence corresponds to a partial SARS E2 spike protein; and a translocating peptide fragment for transporting a protein into a cell and translocating the protein in cytosol; wherein, the amino acid sequence of the peptide fragment corresponding to the partial SARS E2 spike protein includes SEQ ID NO. 1, SEQ ID NO. 2, SEQ ID NO. 3 or SEQ ID NO. 4. The present invention further relates to DNA sequences corresponding to the partial SARS E2 spike protein includes SEQ ID NO. 5, SEQ ID NO. 6, SEQ ID NO. 7, or SEQ ID NO. 8; wherein the DNA sequences are able to express specific proteins in an E. Coli expression system.

  • Patent number: 7776340
    Abstract: A canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCV) that is present in the respiratory tract of dogs with canine infectious respiratory disease and which has a low level of homology to the enteric canine coronavirus, but which has a high level of homology to all bovine coronavirus strains (eg Quebec and LY138) and human coronavirus strain OC43. The CRCV spike, polymerase and hemagglutinin/esterase cDNA and protein partial sequences are listed in FIGS. (1) to (4), (13) and (14).

  • Patent number: 10905758
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of (vector) vaccines, and especially to a canine distemper virus (CDV) vector comprising a heterologous nucleotide sequence which encodes a porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) antigen. Said PEDV antigen is preferably a PEDV spike (S) protein. The viral vector of the present invention is useful for producing an immunogenic composition or vaccine for intranasally immunizing sows, and thereby protecting piglets, suckled by said sows, against the clinical signs associated with a PEDV infection.
