Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Vaccines are provided that elicit neutralizing antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Some vaccines comprise nanoparticles that display envelope proteins from EBV on their surface. The nanoparticles comprise fusion proteins comprising a monomeric subunit of a self-assembly protein, such as ferritin, joined to at least a portion of an EBV envelope protein. The fusion proteins self-assemble to form the envelope protein-displaying nanoparticles. Such vaccines can be used to vaccinate an individual against infection by different types of Epstein-Barr viruses as well as Epstein-Barr viruses that are antigenically divergent from the virus from which the EBV envelope protein was obtained. Also provided are fusion proteins and nucleic acid molecules encoding such proteins.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A nucleic acid molecule encoding a recombinant protein, the recombinant protein comprising at least 25 contiguous amino acids from a monomeric subunit protein capable of self-assembling to form a nanoparticle, joined to at least one immunogenic portion from a first Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) envelope protein is gp350, wherein the encoded recombinant protein comprises an amino acid sequence at least 80% identical to a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:71, SEQ ID NO:74, SEQ ID NO:77 and SEQ ID NO:80.
