Abstract:
The present invention is directed to methods of preventing reactivation of active and latent M. tuberculosis infections by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a nucleic acid encoding a Mtb72f fusion protein, or a Mtb72f fusion protein or an immunogenic fragment thereof, for example together with an adjuvant. The Mtb72f nucleic acid or fusion protein can be administered with one or more chemotherapeutic agents effective against a M. tuberculosis infection. The methods also provide for shortening the time course of a chemotherapeutic regimen against a M. tuberculosis infection.

Abstract:
Provided herein are 3′ and 5′ UTRs that provide an amount, duration, or both of protein expression from a recombinant RNA. Compositions of matter, methods, or uses of said 3′ and 5′ UTRs are provided. Provided herein are RNA segments that encode a SARS-CoV-2 omicron spike protein, which provide for omicron-strain-specific immunogenic compositions. Compositions of matter, methods, or uses of said RNA segments that encode a SARS-CoV-2 omicron spike protein are provided.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a HSV2 Fc receptor or immunogenic fragment or variant thereof for use in generating a cross reactive immune response against HSV1 in a subject. Also provided is a HSV1 Fc receptor or immunogenic fragment or variant thereof for use in generating a cross reactive immune response against HSV2 when administered to a subject.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to immunisation using carrier-formulated mRNA in conjunction with an adjuvant comprising a STING agonist, and to related aspects.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a bioconjugate vaccine, such as an O 1-bioconjugate vaccine, comprising: a protein carrier comprising a protein carrier containing at least one consensus sequence, DIE-X-N-Z-S/T, wherein X and Z may be any natural amino acid except proline; at least one antigenic polysaccharide from at least one pathogenic bacterium, linked to the protein carrier; and, optionally, an adjuvant. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to a method of producing an O 1-bioconjugate in a bioreactor comprising a number steps.
