Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for inducing an adaptive immune response against Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a subject. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a composition comprising a nucleoside-modified nucleic acid molecule encoding a HCV antigen, adjuvant, or a combination thereof. For example, in some embodiments, the composition comprises a vaccine comprising a nucleoside-modified nucleic acid molecule encoding a HCV antigen, adjuvant, or a combination thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A lineage vaccine comprising a combination of isolated nucleoside-modified RNA molecules, wherein the combination of isolated nucleoside-modified RNA molecules encodes a combination of sequential lineage antigens for inducing an immune response against Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a subject, wherein the combination of isolated nucleoside-modified RNA molecules comprises at least one isolated nucleoside-modified RNA molecule encoding each of the HCV antigens as set forth in SEQ ID NO:28, SEQ ID NO:29, SEQ ID NO:30, SEQ ID NO:31, SEQ ID NO:32, SEQ ID NO:33, SEQ. ID NO:34, SEQ ID NO:35 and SEQ ID NO:36. 2. The lineage vaccine of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated nucleoside-modified RNA comprises a nucleoside selected from the group consisting of pseudouridine and 1-methyl-pseudouridine. 3. The lineage vaccine of claim 1 , wherein the at least one isolated nucleoside-modified RNA is a purified nucleoside-modified RNA. 4. The lineage vaccine of claim 1 , wherein the combination of nucleoside-modified RNA molecules comprises RNA sequences encoded by DNA sequences comprising: SEQ ID NO: 19, SEQ ID NO: 20, SEQ ID NO: 21, SEQ ID NO: 22, SEQ ID NO: 23, SEQ ID NO: 24, SEQ ID NO: 25, SEQ ID NO: 26, and SEQ ID NO: 27. 5. The lineage vaccine of claim 1 , comprising a combination of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) encapsulating the isolated RNA molecules. 6. The lineage vaccine of claim 1 , wherein the at least one nucleoside-modified RNA further encodes at least one adjuvant. 7. The lineage vaccine of claim 5 , wherein each nucleoside-modified RNA is encapsulated within a different LNP. 8. The lineage vaccine of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a vaccine.
