摘要:
The invention relates to recombinant Measles virus expressing Chikungunya virus polypeptides, and concerns in particular virus like particles (VLP) that contain envelope and capsid proteins of a Chikungunya virus at their surface. These particles are recombinant infectious particles able to replicate in a host after an administration. The invention provides means, in particular nucleic acids, vectors, cells and rescue systems to produce these recombinant infectious particles. The invention also relates to the use of these recombinant infectious particles, in particular under the form of a composition, more particularly in a vaccine formulation, for the treatment or prevention of an infection by Chikungunya virus.
摘要:
The present invention provides purification strategies for sterically demanding, i.e. large and pleomorphic, infectious virus particles or VLPs derived therefrom having a measles virus scaffold to yield fractions or compositions with a significantly reduced content of contaminating host cell DNA and a reduced content of further process-related impurities. Further provided are methods of propagating and purifying infectious virus particles having a measles virus scaffold suitable to provide a preparation having a strongly reduced content of contaminating host cell DNA and a reduced content of further process-related impurities. In addition, immunogenic and vaccine compositions based on the above methods are provided. Finally, there are provided immunogenic or vaccine compositions produced by the disclosed methods, which are suitable for use in immunogenic or prophylactic vaccination treatment of a subject in need thereof.

摘要:
The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules building the basis for immunogenic or vaccine compositions for use in a method of preventing or treating a Zika virus disease in a subject, wherein the at least one nucleic acid molecule comprises at least one recombinant Zika virus antigen, wherein the at least one recombinant Zika virus antigen is encoded by at least one nucleic acid sequence encoding at least one E-protein of a Zika virus or a functional fragment or variant thereof. Further provided are recombinant chimeric viruses encoding and/or comprising selected antigens from a Zika virus. The sequences encoding at least one Zika virus antigen suitable for eliciting an immune response are operably linked to a non-flavivirus derived vector backbone. Further provided are methods for purifying the recombinant chimeric virus particles or the immunogenic composition to provide an immunogenic composition with a low level of process- or product-related impurities.
