Patent Summary

Chimeric polypeptides based on viral fusion proteins that stabilize the pre-fusion conformation for improved vaccine efficacy. The chimeric polypeptides contain a viral fusion protein ectodomain fused to a heterologous structure-stabilizing moiety. The moiety forms an anti-parallel two-helix bundle that oligomerizes into a six-helix bundle. This prevents the fusion protein from rearranging to the post-fusion conformation. The chimeric polypeptide can be self-assembled into complexes. The stabilized pre-fusion conformation allows better vaccine antigenicity against enveloped viruses compared to natural post-fusion forms.
