Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to polypeptides and cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigens that include at least one introduced amino acid mutation relative to the amino acid sequence of the wild-type HCMV glycoprotein B (gB). In some embodiments, the polypeptide is stabilized in a conformation alternative to the gB postfusion conformation. Also disclosed are compositions including the polypeptides and uses thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 2-45 and 47-106. 2. The polypeptide according to claim 1 , wherein the sequence comprises SEQ ID NO: 56. 3. The polypeptide according to claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 57. 4. The polypeptide according to claim 1 , wherein the sequence comprises SEQ ID NO: 58. 5. The polypeptide according to claim 1 , wherein the sequence comprises SEQ ID NO: 75. 6. A polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence set forth in any one of SEQ ID Nos: 2-45 and 47-106. 7. A composition comprising a polypeptide of claim 1 and a diluent. 8. The composition according to claim 7 , wherein the composition does not comprise a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in any one of SEQ ID NO: 59, SEQ ID NO: 75, SEQ ID NO: 76, SEQ ID NO: 71, SEQ ID NO: 52, SEQ ID NO: 96, and SEQ ID NO: 50. 9. The composition according to claim 7 , further comprising a polypeptide comprising any one amino acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NOS: 211-224. 10. A composition comprising a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide comprising the sequence selected from any one of SEQ ID Nos: 2-45 and 47-106; and a diluent. 11. The composition according to claim 10 , further comprising a polynucleotide comprising a sequence selected from any one of SEQ ID NOS: 141-210. 12. The composition according to claim 10 , further comprising a polynucleotide comprising a sequence selected from any one of SEQ ID NOS: 224-254. 13. A method of eliciting an immune response in a mammal, comprising administering an effective amount of a composition comprising a polypeptide comprising the sequence set forth in any one of SEQ ID Nos: 2-45 and 47-106; and a diluent. 14. A method of eliciting an immune response in a mammal, comprising administering an effective amount of a composition comprising a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide comprising the sequence set forth in any one of SEQ ID Nos: 2-45 and 47-106; and a diluent.
