    Abstract: RNA encoding an immunogen is co-delivered to non-immune cells at the site of delivery and also to immune cells which infiltrate the site of delivery. The responses of these two cell types to the same delivered RNA lead to two different effects, which interact to produce a strong immune response against the immunogen. The non-immune cells translate the RNA and express the immunogen. Infiltrating immune cells respond to the RNA by expressing type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines which produce a local adjuvant effect which acts on the immunogen-expressing non-immune cells to upregulate major histocompatibility complex expression, thereby increasing presentation of the translated protein to T cells. The effects on the immune and non-immune cells can be achieved by a single delivery of a single RNA e.g. by a single injection.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising Moraxella catarrhalis (M. catarrhalis) Ubiquitous surface protein A2 (UspA2). More particularly, the present application relates to UspA2 protein constructs and immunogenic compositions comprising the constructs, vaccines comprising such immunogenic compositions and therapeutic uses of the same. The invention further relates to compositions comprising UspA2 in combination with at least one antigen from Haemophilus influenzae, immunogenic compositions comprising the antigens, vaccines comprising such immunogenic compositions and therapeutic uses of the same.
