Abstract: Disclosed are a novel coronavirus vaccine based on an influenza virus vector and a preparation method thereof. The vaccine can efficiently express two antigens, i.e., its own HA antigen and an exogenous SC2R1 antigen, enabling the vaccine to induce immune responses to the two antigens, thus achieving the purpose of preventing both influenza virus and novel coronavirus, thereby eliminating the impacts of the two major infectious diseases of influenza and novel coronavirus on social economy, etc. at one time. In addition, based on existing mature influenza platform techniques, the influenza vaccine can be prepared and produced on a large scale, and the use of influenza vaccines has a long history and good safety.

Abstract: The present invention relates to vaccine and treatment of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection (COVID-19) in mammals. Particularly, the invention relates to coronavirus vaccine and method for preparation thereof. More particularly, the present invention discloses preparation of coronavirus vaccine comprising an inactivated, purified SARS-CoV2 as active ingredient. The present invention also discloses a method for preparation of killed-inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virus which is used as antigen in the vaccine composition. The present invention further relates to the method of antigen preparation including inactivation and purification of virus, SARS-CoV-2 vaccine preparation, composition, formulation and use of the same to elicit immune response against the SARS-CoV-2 in mammals, and it is also suitable for immunizing human subjects.
Abstract: An immunogenic composition effective for eliciting an immune response against cells that present coronavirus S protein and/or coronavirus M protein derived antigens on a virus-like-particle (VLP) system. In a method embodiment, the antigen presenting VLP is administered to a mammal, such as a human, to elicit an immune response against coronavirus S protein and/or coronavirus M protein. A preferred method embodiment may include at least one additional dose of immunogenic composition to enhance the immune response effectiveness of the coronavirus vaccine.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for enhancing immunity by administering a coronavirus vaccine and a chimeric CD40L polypeptide.

Abstract: Multi-epitope, pan-coronavirus recombinant vaccine compositions featuring a combination of highly conserved B cell epitopes, highly conserved CD4+ T cell epitopes, and highly conserved CD8+ T cell epitopes, at least one of which is derived from a non-spike protein. The present invention uses several immuno-informatics and sequence alignment approaches and multiple immunological assays in vitro using human blood and saliva samples from COVID patients and healthy patients to identify several human B cells, CD4+ and CD8+ T cell epitopes that are highly conserved and antigenic in vitro. The Invention also used an in vivo unique mouse model of ACE2/HLA-A0201/HLA-DR triple transgenic mouse model to test the immunogenicity and the protective efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-Like symptoms, of the identified B and T cell epitopes and of the resulting multi-epitope-pan-Coronavirus vaccine candidates.
