Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to virus-like particles and vaccine compositions for inducing immunity and preventing respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. Specifically, the disclosure provides virus like-particles (VLPs) for use in inducing immunity to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections or symptoms thereof, wherein the VLP comprising a respiratory RSV matrix protein (M) and an RSV M2-1 protein, a glycoprotein (G), a fusion protein (F), and/or a phosphoprotein (P).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A virus like particle (VLP) comprising a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) M protein, an RSV P protein, an RSV F protein, and an RSV G protein, wherein the RSV F protein comprises SEQ ID NO: 23 or the RSV G protein comprises SEQ ID NO: 1. 2. The VLP of claim 1 , wherein the RSV F protein comprises SEQ ID NO: 23. 3. The VLP of claim 1 , wherein the RSV G protein comprises SEQ ID NO: 1. 4. The VLP of claim 1 , wherein the RSV G protein is a recombinant RSV G protein. 5. A vaccine comprising the VLP of claim 1 . 6. The vaccine of claim 5 , further comprising an adjuvant. 7. A method of inducing immunity to RSV infection or at least one symptom thereof in a subject, comprising administering one or more effective doses of the vaccine of claim 5 . 8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the one or more effective doses of the vaccine are administered to the subject via a route that is selected from the group consisting of an intramuscular route, a subcutaneous route, an intradermal route, an oral administration, a nasal administration, and inhalation.
