Abstract:
The invention provides chimeric Enterovirus virus-like particles (VLPs) for protection and/or treatment against infection by more than one Enterovirus . More specifically, the present invention provides chimeric EV-A71 virus-like particles displaying CV-A16 VP1 polypeptides and at the same time maintaining important neutralizing antibody epitopes of EV-A71 itself. More specifically, the present invention provides chimeric CV-A16 virus-like particles displaying EV-A71 VP1 polypeptides. Thus, the present invention provides a bivalent vaccine comprising the chimeric virus-like particles which elicit an immune response and/or neutralizing antibody response to both EV-A71 and CVA-16 for the treatment of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease.
Abstract translation:本发明提供了用于防止和/或治疗超过一种肠道病毒的感染的嵌合型肠病毒样颗粒(VLP)。 更具体地说,本发明提供了展示CV-A16 VP1多肽的嵌合EV-A71病毒样颗粒,同时维持了EV-A71本身的重要中和抗体表位。 更具体地说,本发明提供了展示EV-A71 VP1多肽的嵌合CV-A16病毒样颗粒。 因此,本发明提供了包含嵌合病毒样颗粒的二价疫苗,所述嵌合病毒样颗粒对EV-A71和CVA-16两者引发免疫应答和/或中和抗体应答以治疗手足口病。 p >
Abstract:
This invention relates to Virus-Like Particles (VLPs) derived from Enterovirus and vaccines comprising such VLPs which elicit immune responses and/or protective neutralizing antibody responses directed against an Enterovirus . The instant invention provides expression cassettes and methods for making Enterovirus CV-A16 VLPs and compositions enriched in CV-A16 VLPs which exhibit conformational epitopes which elicit immune responses and/or neutralizing antibody responses which may be used in vaccines directed against Enterovirus CV-A16.
