Description

[0001] PC072986A IMMUNOGENIC COMPOSITIONS AND USES THEREOF REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING 5 This application includes an electronically submitted sequence listing in .xml format. The .xml file contains a sequence listing entitled “PC072986A Sequence Listing.xml” created on July 23, 2015, and having a size of 66 KB. The sequence listing contained in this .xml file is part of the specification and is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. 10 FIELD The present disclosure relates to a composition comprising a capsular polysaccharide(CP) from group B streptococcus (GBS) conjugated to a carrier protein, and antigens derived from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) polypeptides and / or polynucleotides encoding the RSV antigens for administration to a human. The present disclosure relates to the co-administration15 of a GBS vaccine comprising a capsular polysaccharide (CP) from GBS conjugated to a carrierprotein, and an RSV vaccine comprising antigens derived from RSV polypeptides and / orpolynucleotides encoding the RSV antigens.BACKGROUND20 Streptococcus agalactiae, also known as group B streptococcus (GBS), is anencapsulated, gram-positive bacterial pathogen that is a leading cause of invasive bacterial infections in young infants and pregnant women and a significant cause of infant morbidity and mortality globally. There are serotypes of GBS (Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX)differentiated by the polysaccharide composition of their capsule. All GBS serotypes may25 cause disease, but there is variability in their global prevalence and virulence. GBS diseasemost frequently occurs in the very young—newborns and infants younger than 3 months ofage—and the elderly, especially older adults with comorbid conditions. However, GBS disease has been reported in individuals of all ages, and pregnant women may be particularly susceptible to it. 30 GBS colonizes the rectovaginal tracts in women, and colonization during pregnancy can expose the neonate to GBS before delivery due to ascending infection. GBS can also be passed to the infant during labor with passage through the birth canal. These events can result in serious, invasive disease in neonates and postneonatal infants, including sepsis, meningitis, and pneumonia resulting in high rates of mortality and for some survivors long-term morbidity.35 Among neonates and infants, GBS disease is categorized into 2 timeframes with early-onsetdisease (EOD) occurring between 0-6 days of life and late-onset disease (LOD) between 7-90 days of life. Infants with EOD generally present with respiratory distress, apnea, or other

[0002] signs of sepsis within the first 24 to 48 hours of life. LOD more commonly presents asmeningitis. Beyond the immediate dangers of acute illness, GBS in infancy has also beenassociated with long-term NDI in survivors of invasive disease. In addition to the poor neonatal outcomes described above, colonized pregnant women can also develop significant GBS 5 disease themselves, including urinary tract infections, chorioamnionitis (which may result in stillbirth, preterm delivery), postpartum endometritis, and sepsis. There is an unmet medical need for the prevention of GBS disease in pregnant women and their infants that could be addressed by an effective vaccine. To date, there are no vaccines licensed for the prevention of GBS in any country. Globally, there are various 10 prevention guidelines, which primarily include either universal microbiological screening or risk-based approaches to identify colonized pregnant women for whom intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) should be administered. Many countries around the world do not have the resources to implement IAP. Importantly, even in settings with optimal execution of these prevention policies, a significant burden of EOD remains and there has been no reduction in 15 LOD cases. In addition, IAP leads to unnecessary exposure to antibiotics. Reduction in antibiotic use has been identified as a global public health priority due to the potential for selection of resistance among bacterial pathogens. Maternal immunization with an efficacious GBS vaccine would address the shortcomings of current prophylactic antibiotic administration, provide significant benefit20 beyond the currently existing approaches, and importantly could prevent a significantproportion of the global burden of both EOD and LOD GBS in infants. A prophylactic GBSvaccine has the potential to limit the emergence of antibiotic resistance through avoidance ofantibiotic use and may therefore potentially have additional indirect impact on public healthGBS6 is an investigational hexavalent (serotypes Ia, Ib, II, III, IV and V) GBS conjugate 25 vaccine being developed for the prevention of GBS invasive disease in infants due to the 6 dominant serotypes worldwide by active immunization of pregnant women in their second or third trimester . The vaccine is intended for use in pregnant women to protect their neonates and infants through transfer of maternal antibodies. See Buurman et al. A Novel HexavalentCapsular Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine (GBS6) for the Prevention of Neonatal Group B 30 Streptococcal Infections by Maternal Immunization. J Infect Dis.2019 Jun 5;220(1):105-115. See Absalon et al. Safety and immunogenicity of a novel hexavalent group B streptococcusconjugate vaccine in healthy, non-pregnant adults: a phase 1 / 2, randomised, placebo- controlled, observer-blinded, dose-escalation trial. Lancet Infect Dis.2021 Feb;21(2):263-274. See Madhi et al. Potential for Maternally Administered Vaccine for Infant Group B35 Streptococcus. N. Engl. J. Med. 2023, 389, 215–227.The current standard of care, even when optimally implemented, has not been able tocompletely prevent all disease, including some cases of EOD, all cases of LOD, and all cases2

[0003] of preterm birth and stillbirth. By providing the GBS6 vaccination during the second or earlythird trimester of pregnancy, immunization could prevent GBS disease–associated outcomesthat may arise prepartum, such as preterm births and stillbirths, invasive disease through the first 90 days of life, as well as the long term neurodevelopmental sequelae frequently observed5 in survivors of invasive disease. GBS6 may also protect against adverse fetal outcomes by reducing GBS colonizationin pregnant women. It is anticipated pregnant women may also benefit directly from a GBSvaccine by the prevention of peripartum GBS disease. A vaccine to prevent invasive GBSdisease would be an important public health tool and is considered feasible given the10 longstanding recognition of the relationship between maternally transferred anticapsularantibodies and infant immunity to invasive GBS disease. The GBS6 vaccination would providesignificant benefit as an alternative approach to IAP for prevention of GBS disease in younginfants and can be more practically implemented in HIC settings as well as LMIC regions thathave the highest burden of disease.15 Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a respiratory virus that infects the lungs andbreathing passages. RSV is a major cause of respiratory infection in all ages, which can resultin severe illness in both infants and older adults. In infants, RSV is the leading cause ofbronchiolitis and viral pneumonia and can lead to fatal respiratory distress, especially in those with risk factors including premature infants with underlying cardiopulmonary disease, or in20 the absence of effective healthcare systems. However, most cases of RSV disease occur inhealthy, full-term infants without risk factors. A maternal immunization to protect infants earlyin life is an attractive strategy for infant disease prevention. Adults ≥60 years of age have anincreased risk of RSV infection, which can trigger exacerbations of underlying comorbidconditions, such as COPD and CHF. RSV disease management in adults is limited to25 supportive measures, such as hydration and oxygenation. Prevention of RSV disease viaactive immunization has the potential to make a significant impact in this population, thereforemaking vaccine development a high priority. Two RSV protein subunit vaccines were approved in the United States 2023, ABRYSVOTM (Pfizer) and AREXVYTM (GSK). ABRYSVOTM is an RSV vaccine supplied as a30 lyophilized antigen component containing recombinant RSV stabilized prefusion F proteins, RSV preF A and RSV preF B, which is reconstituted at the time of use with a sterile water diluent. ABRYSVOTM was approved for active immunization of pregnant individuals at 32through 36 weeks gestational age for the prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) and severe LRTD caused by RSV in infants from birth through 6 months of age and active35 immunization for the prevention of LRTD caused by RSV in individuals 60 years of age and older. AREXVYTM is an RSV vaccine supplied as a lyophilized recombinant RSV glycoproteinF stabilized in pre-fusion conformation (RSVPreF3) as the antigen component, which is 3

[0004] reconstituted at the time of use with AS01Eadjuvant as the suspension component. AREXVYTMwas approved for active immunization for the prevention of LRTD caused by RSV in individuals 60 years of age and older and individuals 50 through 59 years of age who are at increased risk for LRTD caused by RSV. 5 Given the global burden of GBS and RSV disease, there is an unmet medical need that could be addressed by an effective vaccine against both GBS and RSV for pregnant individuals to prevent disease in infants and for older individuals. Accordingly, improvedimmunogenic compositions to protect against both GBS and RSV infection are needed.10 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention provides for compositions comprising a group B streptococcus(GBS) polysaccharide-protein conjugate comprising a capsular polysaccharide and a carrier protein; and at least a first and second respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) F protein.

For example, a lyophilized RSV composition may bereconstituted with an aqueous or liquid GBS composition, resulting in a subject receiving two vaccines in a single administration. In particular, a lyophilized RSV F protein composition (such as RSVPreF described herein) may be reconstituted with a GBS polysaccharide-proteinconjugate composition (such as GBS6 described herein) in aqueous or liquid form (see Table30 1 of Example 1). Combining vaccine compositions, such as GBS and RSV compositions, can presentchallenges such as maintaining the immunogenicity of each vaccine, ensuring formulationstability and addressing potential immune interference between components. For example,when multiple antigens are combined in a single vaccine composition, the presence of one 35 antigen can interfere with the immune response of another causing immune interference. This can lead to reduced antibody titers or a weaker overall immune response to certain components of the vaccine. Further, combining multiple antigens with potentially different10

[0011] physical and chemical properties can create issues with formulation stability. This challengeis particularly relevant with RSV vaccine compositions that target the prefusion F protein. Theprefusion conformation of the RSV protein F is relatively unstable making it prone to refoldinginto the postfusion state, which is less immunogenic. Thus, maintaining a stabilized prefusion 5 conformation is important for generating a strong and durable immune response. The Examples described herein assess the compatibility and immunogenicity of thecombination of a GBS polysaccharide-protein conjugate composition and an RSV F proteincomposition (see Examples 2 and 3). The results show no difference in total antigenicityobserved between the GBS composition and the combined GBS and RSV composition, and 10 no difference in prefusion content was observed between the RSV composition and the combined GBS and RSV composition. Thus, the combined GBS and RSV composition wasshown to be physically compatible and stability of the respective antigens was maintained for at least 4 hours (see Example 2).Further, the combined GBS and RSV composition elicited a similar immune response 15 to the GBS and RSV compositions administered individually at the same dose. In particular, the combination of the GBS and RSV composition did not impact the immunogenicity of the GBS conjugates as measured by total anti-CPS IgG concentrations and GBS OPA titers, anddid not impact the immunogenicity of the RSV F proteins as measured by total anti-RSVprefusion F protein A and B IgG concentrations and RSV neutralization titers. Thus, the20 combined GBS and RSV composition was shown to retain functional immunogenicity of theGBS conjugates and RSV F proteins (see Example 3).The data generated supports the development of a single vaccine against GBS(bacterial) and RSV (viral) disease and / or infection in infants through maternal immunizationand against GBS and RSV disease and / or infection in older adults through preventive25 vaccination. Thus, the present invention provides for additional compositions and dosageregimens for the immunization of subjects with GBS and RSV vaccines.

As used herein, the term “about” when used to modify a numerically defined parameter means that the parameter may vary by as much as 10% below or above the stated numerical20 value for that parameter. For example, a dose of about 5 mg means 5 mg ± 10%, i.e., it mayvary between 4.5 mg and 5.5 mg. Recitation of ranges of values herein is merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range. Unless otherwise indicated herein, each individual value is incorporated into the specification as if it25 was individually recited herein. The use of the word “a” or “an” when used in conjunction with the term “comprising” may mean “one,” but it is also consistent with the meaning of “one or more,” “at least one,” and “one or more than one.” The phrase “and / or” means “and” or “or.” To illustrate, A, B, and / or C includes: A alone, 30 B alone, C alone, a combination of A and B, a combination of A and C, a combination of B and C, or a combination of A, B, and C. In other words, “and / or” operates as an inclusive or. The phrase “essentially all” is defined as “at least 95%”; if essentially all members of a group have a certain property, then at least 95% of members of the group have that property. In some aspects, essentially all means equal to any one of, at least any one of, or between35 any two of 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100% of members of the group have that property. 15

[0016] The compositions and methods for their use may “comprise,” “consist essentially of,” or “consist of” any of the ingredients or steps disclosed throughout the specification.

It is contemplated that aspects described herein in the context of 10 the term “comprising” may also be implemented in the context of the term “consisting of” or “consisting essentially of.” Compositions and methods “consisting essentially of” any of the ingredients or steps disclosed limits the scope of the claim to the specified materials or steps which do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic of the claimed disclosure. The words “consisting of” (and any form of consisting of, such as “consist of” and “consists of”) 15 means including, and limited to, whatever follows the phrase “consisting of.” Thus, the phrase “consisting of” indicates that the listed elements are required or mandatory, and that no other elements may be present. Reference throughout this specification to “one aspect,” “another aspect,” “an aspect,”“a particular aspect,” “a related aspect,” “a certain aspect,” “an additional aspect,” or “a further 20 aspect” or combinations thereof means that a particular feature, structure or characteristic described in connection with the aspect is included in at least one aspect of the present disclosure. Thus, the appearances of the foregoing phrases in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same aspect. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more25 aspects.

As used herein, the terms “reference,” “standard,” or “control” describe a value relative to which a comparison is performed. For example, an agent, subject, population, sample, or35 value of interest is compared with a reference, standard, or control agent, subject, population,sample, or value of interest. A reference, standard, or control may be tested and / or determined substantially simultaneously and / or with the testing or determination of interest for an agent, 16

[0017] subject, population, sample, or value of interest and / or may be determined or characterized under comparable conditions or circumstances to the agent, subject, population, sample, or value of interest under assessment. The term “vaccine” refers to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an immunogen 5 that is capable of eliciting a prophylactic or therapeutic immune response in a subject. Typically, a vaccine elicits an antigen-specific immune response to an antigen of a pathogen, for example a viral pathogen. The term “immunogenic” refers to the ability of a substance to cause, elicit, stimulate, or induce an immune response against a particular antigen, in an animal, whether in the10 presence or absence of an adjuvant. Immunogenicity can be measured by any method orassay known in the art, such as for example animal vaccination models, serum bactericidal assays (SBA), flow cytometry, and in vitro potency assays. The term "immune response" refers to any detectable response of a cell or cells of the immune system of a host mammal to a stimulus (such as an immunogen), including, but 15 not limited to, innate immune responses (e.g., activation of Toll receptor signaling cascade), cell-mediated immune responses (e.g., responses mediated by T cells, such as antigen- specific T cells, and non-specific cells of the immune system), and humoral immune responses(e.g., responses mediated by B cells, such as generation and secretion of antibodies into the plasma, lymph, and / or tissue fluids). Examples of immune responses include an alteration 20 (e.g., increase) in Toll-like receptor activation, lymphokine (e.g., cytokine (e.g., Th1, Th2 or Th17 type cytokines) or chemokine) expression or secretion, macrophage activation, dendritic cell activation, T cell (e.g., CD4+ or CD8+ T cell) activation, NK cell activation, B cell activation (e.g., antibody generation and / or secretion), binding of an immunogen (e.g., antigen (e.g.,immunogenic polypeptide) to an MHC molecule, induction of a cytotoxic T lymphocyte ("CTL") 25 response, induction of a B cell response (e.g., antibody production), and, expansion (e.g., growth of a population of cells) of cells of the immune system (e.g., T cells and B cells), and increased processing and presentation of antigen by antigen presenting cells. The term “immune response” also encompasses any detectable response to a particular substance (such as an antigen or immunogen) by one or more components of the 30 immune system of a vertebrate animal in vitro. The term “immunogen” refers to a compound, composition, or substance that is immunogenic as defined herein below. The term ‘immunogenic composition” refers to a composition comprising an immunogen. As used herein, the term “pharmaceutical composition” refers to an active agent, 35 formulated together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Pharmaceutical compositions may be immunogenic compositions. In some aspects, active agent is present in unit dose amount appropriate for administration in a therapeutic regimen that shows a 17

[0018] statistically significant probability of achieving a predetermined therapeutic effect when administered to a relevant population. In some aspects, pharmaceutical compositions may be specially formulated for parenteral administration, for example, by subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous or epidural injection as, for example, a sterile solution or 5 suspension, or sustained-release formulation. As used herein, the term “vaccination” refers to the administration of an immunogenic composition intended to generate an immune response, for example to a disease-associated (e.g., disease-causing) agent (e.g., a bacteria or a virus). In some aspects, vaccination may be administered before, during, and / or after exposure to a disease-associated agent, and in 10 certain aspects, before, during, and / or shortly after exposure to the agent. In some aspects, vaccination includes multiple administrations, appropriately spaced in time, of a vaccine composition. In some aspects, vaccination generates an immune response to an infectious agent. In some aspects, vaccination generates an immune response to a tumor; in some such aspects, vaccination is “personalized” in that it is partly or wholly directed to epitope(s) (e.g., 15 which may be or include one or more neoepitopes) determined to be present in a particular individual’s tumors. As used herein, the term “combination therapy” refers to those situations in which a subject is simultaneously exposed to two or more therapeutic regimens (e.g., two or more therapeutic agents). In some aspects, the two or more regimens may be administered 20 simultaneously; in some aspects, such regimens may be administered sequentially (e.g., all “doses” of a first regimen are administered prior to administration of any doses of a second regimen); in some aspects, such agents are administered in overlapping dosing regimens. In some aspects, “administration” of combination therapy may involve administration of one or more agent(s) or modality(ies) to a subject receiving the other agent(s) or modality(ies) in the 25 combination. For clarity, combination therapy does not require that individual agents be administered together in a single composition (or even necessarily at the same time), although in some aspects, two or more agents, or active moieties thereof, may be administered together in a combination composition, or even in a combination compound (e.g., as part of a single chemical complex or covalent entity). 30 Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the term “dosing regimen” may be used to refer to a set of unit doses (typically more than one) that are administered individually to a subject, typically separated by periods of time. In some aspects, a given therapeutic agent has a recommended dosing regimen, which may involve one or more doses. In some aspects, a dosing regimen comprises a plurality of doses each of which is separated in time from other 35 doses. In some aspects, individual doses are separated from one another by a time period of the same length; in some aspects, a dosing regimen comprises a plurality of doses and at least two different time periods separating individual doses. In some aspects, all doses within 18

[0019] a dosing regimen are of the same unit dose amount. In some aspects, different doses within a dosing regimen are of different amounts.

Capsular Polysaccharides As used herein, the term "saccharide" refers to a single sugar moiety or 5 monosaccharide unit as well as combinations of two or more single sugar moieties or monosaccharide units covalently linked to form disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. The term "saccharide" may be used interchangeably with the term "carbohydrate." The polysaccharide may be linear or branched.A “monosaccharide” as used herein refers to a single sugar residue in an 10 oligosaccharide. The term "disaccharide" as used herein refers to a polysaccharide composed of two monosaccharide units or moieties linked together by a glycosidic bond. In one aspect, the polysaccharide is an oligosaccharide (OS). An “oligosaccharide” as used herein refers to a compound containing two or more monosaccharide units or moieties. Within the context of an oligosaccharide, an individual monomer unit or moiety is a 15 monosaccharide which is, or can be, bound through a hydroxyl group to another monosaccharide unit or moiety. Oligosaccharides can be prepared by either chemical synthesis from protected single residue sugars or by chemical degradation of biologically produced polysaccharides. Alternatively, oligosaccharides may be prepared by in vitro enzymatic methods. 20 In a preferred aspect, the polysaccharide (PS) refers to a linear or branched polymer of at least 5 monosaccharide units or moieties. For clarity, larger number of repeating units, wherein n is greater than about 5, such as greater than about 10, will be referred to herein asa polysaccharide. In one aspect, the polysaccharide is a cell surface polysaccharide. A cell surface 25 polysaccharide refers to a polysaccharide having at least a portion located on the outermost bacterial cell membrane or bacterial cell surface, including the peptidoglycan layer, cell wall, and capsule. Typically, a cell surface polysaccharide is associated with inducing an immune response in vivo. A cell surface polysaccharide may be a “cell wall polysaccharide” or a “capsular polysaccharide.” A cell wall polysaccharide typically forms a discontinuous layer on30 the bacterial surface. In one aspect, the polysaccharide is a capsular polysaccharide. A capsular polysaccharide refers to a glycopolymer that includes repeating units of one or more monosaccharides joined by glycosidic linkages. A capsular polysaccharide typically forms a capsule-like layer around a bacterial cell. "Capsular polysaccharide" or "capsule35 polysaccharide" refers to the polysaccharide capsule that is external to the cell wall of most isolates of streptococci. For example, all GBS capsular polysaccharides have a branched repeat structure with a terminal α2–3-linked sialic acid that is required for bacterial virulence. 20

[0021] Capsule-associated sialic acid (quantified by HPLC assay) has been detected in > 94% of invasive neonatal isolates from T.E.S.T. cultured in vitro. In one aspect, the capsular polysaccharides comprise their natural sialic acid level, such as about 100% or greater than about 95%. In another aspect, the capsular5 polysaccharides may be desialylated up to about 40% (sialylation level greater than about 60%), such as up to about 35% (sialylation level greater than about 65%), up to about 30% (sialylation level greater than about 70%), up to about 25% (sialylation level greater than about 75%), up to about 20% (sialylation level greater than about 80%), up to about 15% (sialylationlevel greater than about 85%), up to about 10% (sialylation level greater than about 90%), and10 up to about 5% (sialylation level greater than about 95%). It should be noted that 100% sialic acid level corresponds to about 1.0 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide. Therefore, the capsular polysaccharides may have about 1.0 mMsialic acid per mM of polysaccharide, such as at least about 0.95 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide. In a further aspect, the capsular polysaccharide may have at least about 0.615 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide, such as at least about 0.65 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide, at least about 0.7 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide, at least about 0.75 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide, at least about 0.8 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide, at least about 0.85 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide, at least about 0.9 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide, or at least about 0.95 mM sialic acid per mM of20 polysaccharide. The terminal sialic residues of some capsular polysaccharide (CP) serotypes are partially O-acetylated (OAc) (Lewis, A.L., et al., Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, 101(30):11123-8 (2004)). Serotypes Ib, III, IV, V, VI, and IX are partially O- acetylated (up to ~40%), whereas serotypes Ia, II, and VII have little or no O-acetylation (less25 than about 5%) (Lewis 2004). In one aspect of the invention, the capsular polysaccharidescomprise their natural O-acetylation level (about 0% to about 40%). In another aspect, thecapsular polysaccharides may be de-O-acetylated (less than about 5%). The degree of O-acetylation of the polysaccharide or oligosaccharide can be determined by any method known in the art, for example, by proton NMR (Lemercinier, X., et al., Carbohydrate Research, 30 296:83-96 (1996); Jones, C., et al., Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, 30:1233-1247 (2002); Int’l Patent Appl. Pub. Nos. WO 2005 / 033148 and WO 00 / 56357). Another commonly used method is described by Hestrin, S., J. Biol. Chem., 180:249-261 (1949). Also, 100% O-acetate corresponds to about 1.0 mM O-acetate per mM of saccharide35 repeating unit. Accordingly, partially O-acetylated polysaccharides comprise at least about0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.35 or about 0.4 mM O-acetate per mM saccharide repeating unit. A de-O-21

[0022] acetylated polysaccharide comprises less than about 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, or 0.05 mM O- acetate per mM saccharide repeating unit. Streptococcal microorganisms capable of causing invasive disease generally also are capable of producing a CP that encapsulates the bacterium and enhances its resistance to 5 clearance by host innate immune system. The CP serves to cloak the bacterial cell in a protective capsule that renders the bacteria resistant to phagocytosis and intracellular killing. Bacteria lacking a capsule are more susceptible to phagocytosis. Capsular polysaccharides are frequently an important virulence factor for many bacterial pathogens, including Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and10 Staphylococcus aureus. The capsule polysaccharide can be used to serotype a particular species of bacteria. Typing is usually accomplished by reaction with a specific antiserum or monoclonal antibody generated to a specific structure or unique epitope characteristic of the capsule polysaccharide. There are ten GBS serotypes: Ia, Ib, and II–IX (Ferrieri, P., et al., Emerg.15 Infect. Dis. [Internet], 19(4) (2013), available at http: / / wwwnc.cdc.gov / eid / article / 19 / 4 / 12-1572_article. In one aspect of the invention, the polysaccharide is isolated from Streptococcusagalactiae. The polysaccharide may be isolated from any encapsulated strain of S. agalactiae, such as 090, A909 (ATCC Accession No. BAA-1138), 515 (ATCC Accession No. BAA-1177),20 B523, CJB524, MB 4052 (ATCC Accession No.31574), H36B (ATCC Accession No.12401), S40, S42, MB 4053 (ATCC Accession No. 31575), M709, 133, 7357, PFEGBST0267, MB 4055 (ATCC Accession No.31576), 18RS21 (ATCC Accession No. BAA-1175), S16, S20, V8 (ATCC Accession No.12973), DK21, DK23, UAB, 5401, PFEGBST0708, MB 4082 (ATCC Accession No.31577), M132, 110, M781 (ATCC Accession No. BAA-22), D136C(3) (ATCC 25 Accession No. 12403), M782, S23, 120, MB 4316 (M-732; ATCC Accession No. 31475), M132, K79, COH1 (ATCC Accession No. BAA-1176), PFEGBST0563, 3139 (ATCC Accession No.49446), CZ-NI-016, PFEGBST0961, 1169-NT1, CJB111(ATCC Accession No. BAA-23), CJB112, 2603 V / R (ATCC Accession No. BAA-611), NCTC 10 / 81, CJ11, PFEGBST0837, 118754, 114852, 114862, 114866, 118775, B 4589, B 4645, SS1214, CZ-30 PW-119, 7271, CZ-PW-045, JM9130013, JM9130672, IT-NI-016, IT-PW-62, and IT-PW-64. The polysaccharides described herein may be isolated by methods known in the art, including, for example, methods described herein. As used herein, “isolated” refers to being obtained from and separated from a particular source. The term “isolated” further refers to notbeing in its respective naturally occurring form, state, and / or environment. For example, 35 “isolated from streptococcus” refers to a matter that was obtained from and separated from a streptococcus cell. The isolated polysaccharide is not naturally occurring. The term "isolated" means that the material is removed from its original environment (e.g., the natural environment 22

[0023] if it is naturally occurring or from its host organism if it is a recombinant entity, or taken from one environment to a different environment). For example, an "isolated" capsule polysaccharide, protein or peptide is substantially free of cellular material or other contaminating proteins from the cell or tissue source from which the protein is derived, or 5 substantially free of chemical precursors or other chemicals when chemically synthesized, or otherwise present in a mixture as part of a chemical reaction. In the present disclosure, the proteins or polysaccharides may be isolated from the bacterial cell or from cellular debris, so that they are provided in a form useful in the manufacture of an immunogenic composition. The term "isolated" or "isolating" may include purifying, or purification, including methods for 10 purifying an isolated polysaccharide known in the art and / or methods described herein. The language "substantially free of cellular material" includes preparations of a polypeptide / protein in which the polypeptide / protein is separated from cellular components of the cells from which it is isolated or recombinantly produced. Thus, a capsule polysaccharide, protein or peptide that is substantially free of cellular material includes preparations of the capsule 15 polysaccharide, protein or peptide having less than about 30%, 20%, 10%, 5%, 2.5%, or 1% (by dry weight) of contaminating protein or polysaccharide or other cellular material. When the polypeptide / protein is recombinantly produced, it is also preferably substantially free of culture medium, i.e., culture medium represents less than about 20%, 10%, or 5% of the volume of the protein preparation. When polypeptide / protein or polysaccharide is produced by chemical 20 synthesis, it is preferably substantially free of chemical precursors or other chemicals, i.e., it is separated from chemical precursors or other chemicals which are involved in the synthesis of the protein or polysaccharide. Accordingly, such preparations of the polypeptide / protein or polysaccharide have less than about 30%, 20%, 10%, 5% (by dry weight) of chemical precursors or compounds other than polypeptide / protein or polysaccharide fragment of25 interest. In one aspect of the invention, the polysaccharide is isolated from a bacterium. Inanother aspect of the invention, the polysaccharide is produced recombinantly. In furtheraspect, the polysaccharide is synthetic or chemically synthesized according to conventional methods. In yet another aspect of the invention, the polysaccharide is prepared by expression30 in a surrogate host after cloning and expressing a biosynthetic pathway to produce the polysaccharide. In one aspect, the polysaccharide is immunogenic. For example, the inventors discovered that each polysaccharide described herein is capable of inducing or eliciting an immune response. The term “immunogenic” refers to an ability to initiate, trigger, cause, enhance, improve, and / or augment a humoral and / or cell-mediated immune response in a35 mammal. In one aspect, the mammal is a human, primate, rabbit, pig, mouse, etc.The molecular weight of the capsular polysaccharide is a consideration for use in immunogenic compositions. High molecular weight capsular polysaccharides are able to23

[0024] induce certain antibody immune responses due to a higher valence of the epitopes present on the antigenic surface. The isolation and purification of high molecular weight capsularpolysaccharides is contemplated for use in the conjugates, compositions and methods of the present disclosure. 5 However, in one aspect, the polysaccharide may be sized to a molecular weight (MW) range that is lower than the molecular weight of the native capsular polysaccharide prior to conjugation to a carrier protein. The size of the purified capsular polysaccharide is reduced in order to generate conjugates with advantageous filterability characteristics and / or yields. In one such aspect, the size of the purified capsular polysaccharide is reduced by high 10 pressure homogenization. High pressure homogenization achieves high shear rates by pumping the process stream through a flow path with sufficiently small dimensions. The shear rate is increased by using a larger applied homogenization pressure, and exposure time can be increased by recirculating the feed stream through the homogenizer. In one aspect, the polysaccharide described herein is capable of inducing opsonic 15 activity. In another aspect, the polysaccharide described herein is capable of inducing opsonic and phagocytic activity (e.g., opsonophagocytic activity). Opsonic activity or opsonization refers to a process by which an opsonin (for example, an antibody or a complement factor) binds to an antigen (e.g., an isolated polysaccharide described herein), which facilitates attachment of the antigen to a phagocyte or phagocytic 20 cell (e.g., a macrophage, dendritic cell, and polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL). Some bacteria, such as, for example, encapsulated bacteria that are not typically phagocytosed due to the presence of the capsule, become more likely to be recognized by phagocytes when coated with an opsonic antibody. In one aspect, the polysaccharide induces an immune response, such as, e.g., an antibody, that is opsonic. In one aspect, the opsonic activity is25 against a Gram positive coccus, preferably against a Streptococcus species, more preferablyagainst at least one strain of S. agalactiae. In yet another aspect, the polysaccharide described herein is capable of inducing a bactericidal immune response. In one aspect, the bactericidal activity is against a Gram positive coccus, preferably against a Streptococcus species, more preferably against at least 30 one strain of S. agalactiae. Methods for measuring opsonization, phagocytosis, and / or bactericidal activity are known in the art, such as, for example, by measuring reduction in bacterial load in vivo (e.g.,by measuring bacteremia levels in mammals challenged with a Streptococcus species) and / orby measuring bacterial cell killing in vitro (e.g., an in vitro opsonophagocytic assay). In one 35 aspect, the polysaccharide is capable of inducing opsonic, phagocytic, and / or bactericidal activity as compared to an appropriate control, such as, for example, as compared to antisera raised against a heat-killed Gram positive coccus. 24

In one aspect of the invention, the polysaccharide is de-O-acetylated (i.e., lessthan about 5% O-acetylated). Some exemplary strains of serotype IX capsular polysaccharides of the invention include IT-NI-016, IT-PW-62, and IT-PW-64. 10 In one aspect, serotype Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and / or IX capsular polysaccharides comprise its natural sialic acid level, such as about 100% or greater than about 95%. In another aspect, the capsular polysaccharides may be desialylated up to about40% (sialylation level greater than about 60%), such as up to about 35% (sialylation level greater than about 65%), up to about 30% (sialylation level greater than about 70%), up to 15 about 25% (sialylation level greater than about 75%), up to about 20% (sialylation level greater than about 80%), up to about 15% (sialylation level greater than about 85%), up to about 10% (sialylation level greater than about 90%), or up to about 5% (sialylation level greater than about 95%) prior to conjugation.

In a further aspect,the capsular polysaccharide may have at least about 0.6 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide, such as at least about 0.65 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide, at least about 0.7 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide, at least about 0.75 mM sialic acid per mM 25 of polysaccharide, at least about 0.8 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide, at least about 0.85 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide, at least about 0.9 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide, or at least about 0.95 mM sialic acid per mM of polysaccharide prior to conjugation. Polysaccharide-Protein Conjugates 30 As used herein, "conjugates" comprise a capsule polysaccharide usually of a desired range of molecular weight and a carrier protein, wherein the capsule polysaccharide is conjugated to the carrier protein. Conjugates may or may not contain some amount of free capsule polysaccharide. As used herein, "free capsule polysaccharide" refers to capsule polysaccharide that is non-covalently associated with (i.e., non-covalently bound to, adsorbed 35 to or entrapped in or with) the conjugated capsular polysaccharide-carrier protein. The terms "free capsule polysaccharide," "free polysaccharide" and "free saccharide" may be used interchangeably and are intended to convey the same meaning. Regardless of the nature of 39

[0038] the carrier molecule, it can be conjugated to the capsular polysaccharide either directly or through a linker. As used herein, "to conjugate", "conjugated" and "conjugating" refers to a process whereby a bacterial capsular polysaccharide is covalently attached to the carrier molecule. Conjugation enhances the immunogenicity of the bacterial capsular polysaccharide. 5 The conjugation can be performed according to the methods described below or by processes known in the art. A “conjugate immunogenic composition,” as used herein, refers to an immunogenic composition wherein the immunogenic material includes an antigenic polysaccharide that is covalently linked to a carrier protein to produce a polysaccharide-protein conjugate. In one 10 aspect, a polysaccharide-protein conjugate of the invention may be formulated as a multivalent immunogenic composition. As used herein, the term “molecular weight” of polysaccharide or of carrier protein- polysaccharide conjugate refers to molecular weight calculated by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) combined with multiangle laser light scattering detector (MALLS). 15 As used herein, a “polysaccharide-protein conjugate” refers to a polysaccharide molecule conjugated to a protein carrier molecule through one or more covalent bonds. It maybe desirable to conjugate the polysaccharide to a protein from another species known to be immunogenic in the target host. Accordingly, in one aspect, the carrier molecule is a carrier protein. As defined herein, such a foreign protein is referred to as a “carrier protein.” Carrier20 proteins serve to enhance the antigenicity and immunogenicity of the polysaccharide. As used herein, the term “carrier effect” refers to the process where the antigenicity and immunogenicity of a weakly immunogenic or non-immunogenic molecule is enhanced, by being attached to a more immunogenic molecule as carrier (e.g., a heterologous protein). In this case, the polysaccharide in the combined polysaccharide-protein conjugate becomes 25 more immunogenic than if it were presented alone. Carrier proteins contain T cell epitopes for stimulating T-cell help for producing antibody responses. "Carrier protein" or "protein carrier" as used herein, refers to any protein molecule that may be conjugated to an antigen (such as the capsular polysaccharides) against which an immune response is desired. Conjugation of an antigen such as a polysaccharide to a carrier 30 protein can render the antigen immunogenic. Carrier proteins are preferably proteins that are non-toxic and non-reactogenic and obtainable in sufficient amount and purity. Examples of carrier proteins are toxins, toxoids or any mutant cross-reactive material (CRM197) of the toxin from tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, Pseudomonas species, E. coli, Staphylococcus species,and Streptococcus species. Carrier proteins should be amenable to standard conjugation35 procedures. In an aspect, the carrier protein is Streptococcal C5a peptidase (SCP). In anotheraspect of the present disclosure, CRM197 is used as the carrier protein.40

[0039] Cross-reacting materials or CRMs are especially useful for some aspects of the present disclosure. One may produce genetically altered proteins, which are antigenically similar to the certain bacterial toxins, yet non-toxic. These are called “cross reacting materials”, or CRMs. CRM197 (Wyeth / Pfizer Inc., Sanford, NC) is noteworthy since it has a single amino 5 acid change from the native diphtheria toxin and is immunologically indistinguishable from it. See Pappenheimer, A.M., et al., Immunochem., 9(9):891-906 (1972); U.S. Pat. No.5,614,382,the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. CRM197is a non-toxic variant (i.e., toxoid) of diphtheria toxin isolated from cultures of Corynebacterium diphtheriae strain C7 (β197) grown in casamino acids and yeast extract-based medium.10 CRM197 is purified through ultra-filtration, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and ion-exchange chromatography. A culture of C. diphtheriae strain C7 (β197), which produces CRM197 protein,has been deposited with the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Maryland and has been assigned accession number ATCC 53281. Other diphtheria toxoids are also suitable for use as carrier proteins. CRM3201 is a genetically manipulated variant of pertussis toxin. See 15 Black, W.J., et al., Science, 240(4852):656-659 (1988), the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Streptococcal C5a peptidase (SCP) is a cell wall anchored virulence protein encoded by members of the beta hemolytic streptococcus genus that proteolytically inactivates the alpha fragment of complement component 5 (C5a) that is responsible for polymorphonuclear 20 cell recruitment to the site of infection (2005. PNAS.102(51):18391.) It is a target of protective antibodies, wherein IgG antibodies directed against SCP can mediate opsonophagocytosis. Additionally, SCP could serve as a carrier protein to enhance the immune response to conjugated GBS CPS polysaccharide haptens. In addition to a diphtheria toxoid (DT), CRM197, SCP, and a pertussis toxoid, further 25 examples of carrier proteins include a tetanus toxoid (TT), a cholera toxoid (e.g., as described in Int’l Patent Appl. Pub. No. WO 2004 / 083251), an E. coli heat labile toxoid (LT), an E. coli heat stable toxoid (ST), pneumolysin from S. pneumonia (wild-type or mutant with reduced toxicity), pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA), pneumococcal adhesin protein A (PsaA), a C5a peptidase from Streptococcus, hemolysin from Staphylococcal aureus , Nontypeable30 Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) proteins, Haemophilus influenzae protein D, Clostridiumperfringens exotoxins / toxoid, hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antigen, rotavirus VP 7 protein, and respiratory syncytial virus F and G protein, ovalbumin, keyhole limpet haemocyanin (KLH), bovine serum albumin (BSA), purified protein derivative of tuberculin (PPD), a Pseudomonas exotoxin or its derivatives, including a recombinantly-produced35 nontoxic mutant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Exotoxin A, and nontoxic Pseudomonasaeruginosa ExoProtein A (rEPA). Bacterial outer membrane proteins such as outer membraneprotein complex c (OMPC), porins, transferrin binding proteins, or C. difficile enterotoxin (toxin41

[0040] A) and cytotoxin (toxin B) can also be used. Other proteins, such as ovalbumin, keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), bovine serum albumin (BSA) or purified protein derivative of tuberculin (PPD) can also be used as carrier proteins. In a preferred aspect, the carrier protein is a diphtheria toxoid. More preferably, the carrier protein is CRM197. In another aspect of the5 invention, the carrier protein is tetanus toxoid. For the synthesis of a multivalent conjugate immunogenic composition, polysaccharide-protein conjugates may be produced by conjugating a mixture of polysaccharides purified from bacteria of two different species to a carrier protein. Alternatively, a multivalent conjugate immunogenic composition may be produced by 10 combining polysaccharides purified from bacteria of two or more different serotypes of the same bacteria and conjugating them as a mixture to a carrier protein. Alternatively, polysaccharide-protein conjugates produced by reacting a single type of polysaccharide with carrier protein in separate reactions using different polysaccharides, may be mixed. Thus, a multivalent immunogenic composition may include a carrier protein bearing a homogeneous15 or a heterogeneous population of linked polysaccharides. After conjugation of the capsular polysaccharide to the carrier protein, the polysaccharide-protein conjugates are purified (enriched with respect to the amount of polysaccharide-protein conjugate) by a variety of techniques. These techniques include, e.g., concentration / diafiltration operations, precipitation / elution, column chromatography, and 20 depth filtration.

In a preferred aspect, the conjugates have at least about 0.9 or 0.95 mM sialic acid per mM polysaccharide. In an30 aspect, a GBS serotype Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, and / or IX capsular polysaccharide conjugate has a sialic acid content of at least any of the above value.

In an aspect, a GBS serotype Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, and / orIX capsular polysaccharide conjugate has an O-acetate content of any of the above value. 44

[0043] In a further aspect, the conjugate comprises less than about 40%, less than about 35%, less than about 30%, less than about 25%, less than about 20%, less than about 15%, less than about 10%, or less than about 5% of free GBS capsular polysaccharide compared to the total amount of GBS capsular polysaccharide. In a preferred aspect the conjugate5 comprises less than about 5% of unreacted free saccharide compared to the total amount of GBS capsular polysaccharide. In yet another aspect, the ratio (weight by weight) of GBS capsular polysaccharide to carrier protein in the conjugate is between about 0.5 and about 3.0. In one aspect, the ratio of GBS capsular polysaccharide to carrier protein in the conjugate is between about 0.5 and 10 about 2.0, between about 0.5 and about 1.5, between about 0.5 and about 1.0, between about 1.0 and about 1.5, or between about 1.0 and about 2.0. In a preferred aspect, the ratio of GBScapsular polysaccharide to carrier protein in the conjugate is between about 0.8 and about 1.0.

In a preferredaspect, the degree of conjugation of the conjugate is between 2 and 5. 20 Conjugation Conjugation may be direct, where the atoms from the polysaccharide are covalently bonded to atoms from the protein surface. Alternatively, conjugation may be through a linker molecule, which reacts with both the polysaccharide and the protein and connects the two, tethering the carbohydrate to the protein. 25 Where a carrier and one or more antigens such as a polysaccharide are conjugated (i.e., covalently associated), conjugation may be by any chemical method, process or genetic technique known in the art. For example, a carrier polypeptide and one or more antigens selected from a group comprising a carbohydrate, an oligosaccharide, a lipid, a lipooligosaccharide, a polysaccharide, an oligosaccharide-protein conjugate, a 30 polysaccharide-protein conjugate, a peptide-protein conjugate, an oligosaccharide-peptide conjugate, a polysaccharide-peptide conjugate, a protein-protein conjugate, a lipooligosaccharide-protein conjugate, a polysaccharide-protein conjugate, or any combination thereof, may be conjugated by techniques, including, but not limited to: (1) direct coupling via protein functional groups (e.g., thiol-thiol linkage, amine-carboxyl linkage, amine- 35 aldehyde linkage; enzyme direct coupling); (2) homobifunctional coupling of amines (e.g., using bis-aldehydes); (3) homobifunctional coupling of thiols (e.g., using bis-maleimides); (4) homobifunctional coupling via photoactivated reagents (5) heterobifunctional coupling of 45

[0044] amines to thiols (e.g., using maleimides); (6) heterobifunctional coupling via photoactivated reagents (e.g., the β-carbonyidiazo family); (7) introducing amine-reactive groups into a poly- or oligosaccharide via cyanogen bromide activation or carboxymethylation; (8) introducing thiol-reactive groups into a poly- or oligosaccharide via a heterobifunctional compound such5 as maleimido-hydrazide; (9) protein-lipid conjugation via introducing a hydrophobic group into the protein and (10) protein-lipid conjugation via incorporating a reactive group into the lipid. Also, contemplated are heterobifunctional “non-covalent coupling” techniques such the Biotin- Avidin interaction. Other methods well known in the art for effecting conjugation of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides to immunogenic carrier proteins are also within the 10 scope of some aspects of the invention. In an aspect, the polysaccharide-protein conjugates are obtained by activating polysaccharide with 1-cyano-4-dimethylamino pyridinium tetrafluoroborate (CDAP) to form a cyanate ester. The activated polysaccharide may be coupled directly or via a spacer (linker) group to an amino group on the carrier protein. For example, the spacer could be cystamine 15 or cysteamine to give a thiolated polysaccharide which could be coupled to the carrier via a thioether linkage obtained after reaction with a maleimide-activated carrier protein (for example using GMBS) or a haloacetylated carrier protein (for example using iodoacetimide, SIB, SlAB, sulfo-SIAB, SIA, or SBAP). In one aspect, the cyanate ester (optionally made by CDAP chemistry) is coupled with 20 hexane diamine or adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) and the amino-derivatised saccharide is conjugated to the carrier protein using carbodiimide (e.g., EDAC or EDC) chemistry via a carboxyl group on the protein carrier. Such conjugates are described for example in Int’l Patent Appl. Pub. Nos. WO 93 / 15760, WO 95 / 08348, and WO 96 / 29094. Other suitable techniques use carbodiimides, hydrazides, active esters, norborane, p- 25 nitrobenzoic acid, N-hydroxysuccinimide, S--NHS, EDC, and TSTU. Many are described in Int’l Patent Appl. Pub. No. WO 98 / 42721. Conjugation may involve a carbonyl linker which may be formed by reaction of a free hydroxyl group of the saccharide with 1,1 carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) or 1,1 carboyl di 1,2,4 triazole (CDT)_(See Bethell, et al., J. Biol.Chem., 254:2572-2574 (1979); Hearn, et al., J. Chromatogr., 218:509-518 (1981)) followed by 30 reaction with a protein to form a carbamate linkage. This may involve reduction of the anomeric terminus to a primary hydroxyl group, optional protection / deprotection of the primary hydroxyl group, reaction of the primary hydroxyl group with CDI / CDT to form a CDI / CDT carbamate intermediate, and coupling the CDI / CDT carbamate intermediate with an amino group on a protein. 35 In preferred aspects, the GBS capsular polysaccharide-protein conjugates of the invention are prepared using reductive amination. Reductive amination involves two steps: (1) oxidation of the polysaccharide to generate aldehyde functionalities from vicinal diols in 46

[0045] individual hexasaccharide unit and (2) reduction of the activated polysaccharide and a carrier protein to form a conjugate. In an aspect, GBS capsular polysaccharide is activated (oxidized) by a process comprising the steps of: 5 (a) reacting isolated GBS capsular polysaccharide with an oxidizing agent; and (b) quenching the oxidation reaction by addition of a quenching agent resulting in an activated GBS capsular polysaccharide. RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS (RSV)10 RSV is a member of the Paramyxoviridae family. Its genome consists of a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA molecule that encodes 11 proteins, including nine structural proteins (three glycoproteins and six internal proteins) and two non-structural proteins. The structural proteins include three transmembrane surface glycoproteins: the attachment protein G, fusion protein F, and the small hydrophobic small hydrophobic (SH) protein. There are two 15 subtypes of RSV, A and B. They differ primarily in the G glycoprotein, while the sequence of the F glycoprotein is more conserved between the two subtypes. The mature F glycoprotein has three general domains: ectodomain (ED), transmembrane domain (TM), and a cytoplasmic tail (CT). CT contains a single palmitoylated cysteine residue. The F glycoproteinof human RSV is initially translated from the mRNA as a single 574-amino acid polypeptide 20 precursor (referred to “F0” or “F0 precursor”), which contains a signal peptide sequence (amino acids 1-25) at the N-terminus. Upon translation the signal peptide is removed by a signal peptidase in the endoplasmic reticulum. The remaining portion of the F0 precursor (i.e., residues 26-574) may be further cleaved at two polybasic sites (a.a.109 / 110 and 136 / 137) by cellular proteases (in particular furin), removing a 27-amino acid intervening sequence 25 designated pep27 (amino acids 110-136) and generating two linked fragments designated F1 (C-terminal portion; amino acids 137-574) and F2 (N-terminal portion; amino acids 26-109). F1 contains a hydrophobic fusion peptide at its N-terminus and two heptad-repeat regions (HRA and HRB). HRA is near the fusion peptide, and HRB is near the TM domain. The F1 and F2 fragments are linked together through two disulfide bonds. Either the uncleaved F0 protein30 without the signal peptide sequence or a F1-F2 heterodimer can form an RSV F protomer.Three such protomers assemble to form the final RSV F protein complex, which is a homotrimer of the three protomers. The F proteins of subtypes A and B are about 90 percent identical in amino acid sequence. An example sequence of the F0 precursor polypeptide forthe A subtype is provided in SEQ ID NO: 1 (A2 strain; GenBank GI: 138251; Swiss Prot 35 P03420), and for the B subtype is provided in SEQ ID NO: 2 (18537 strain; GenBank GI: 138250; Swiss Prot P13843). SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2 are both 574 amino acid 47

[0046] sequences. The signal peptide sequence for SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2 has also been reported as amino acids 1-25 (GenBank and UniProt). In both sequences the TM domain isfrom approximately amino acids 530 to 550 but has alternatively been reported as 525-548. The cytoplasmic tail begins at either amino acid 548 or 550 and ends at amino acid 574, with 5 the palmitoylated cysteine residue located at amino acid 550. RSV F protein is a primary antigen explored for RSV vaccines. The RSV F proteintrimer mediates fusion between the virion membrane and the host cellular membrane and also promotes the formation of syncytia. In the virion prior to fusion with the membrane of the host cell, the largest population of F molecules forms a lollipop-shaped structure, with the TM10 domain anchored in the viral envelope. This conformation is referred to as the pre-fusion conformation. Pre-fusion RSV F is recognized by monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) D25, AM22, and MPE8, without discrimination between oligomeric states. Pre-fusion F trimers are specifically recognized by mAb AM14. During RSV entry into cells, the F protein rearrangesfrom the pre-fusion state (which may be referred to herein as “pre-F”), through an intermediate15 extended structure, to a post-fusion state (“post-F”). During this rearrangement, the C-terminalcoiled-coil of the pre-fusion molecule dissociates into its three constituent strands, which then wrap around the globular head and join three additional helices to form the post-fusion six helix bundle. If a pre-fusion RSV F trimer is subjected to increasingly harsh chemical orphysical conditions, such as elevated temperature, it undergoes structural changes. Initially,20 there is loss of trimeric structure (at least locally within the molecule), and then rearrangement to the post-fusion form, and then denaturation of the domains. To prevent viral entry, F-specific neutralizing antibodies presumably must bind the pre-fusion conformation of F on the virion, or potentially the extended intermediate, before the viral envelope fuses with a cellular membrane. Thus, the pre-fusion form of the F protein is considered the preferred conformation 25 as the desired vaccine antigen. Mutants of the RSV F protein have been provided to increase prefusion stability (see for example PCT application No WO2017 / 109629). RSV vaccine clinical studies have shownthat some F protein subunit-based vaccines are safe and immunogenic. The term “F0 polypeptide” (F0) refers to the precursor polypeptide of the RSV F 30 protein, which is composed of a signal polypeptide sequence, a F1 polypeptide sequence, a pep27 polypeptide sequence, and a F2 polypeptide sequence. With rare exceptions the F0polypeptides of the known RSV strains consist of 574 amino acids. The term “F1 polypeptide” (F1) refers to a polypeptide chain of a mature RSV F protein.Native F1 includes approximately residues 137-574 of the RSV F0 precursor and is composed35 of (from N- to C-terminus) an extracellular region (approximately residues 137-524), atransmembrane domain (approximately residues 525-550), and a cytoplasmic domain(approximately residues 551-574). As used herein, the term encompasses both native F1 48

[0047] polypeptides and F1 polypeptides including modifications (e.g., amino acid substitutions, insertions, or deletions) from the native sequence, for example, modifications designed to stabilize an RSV F protein mutant or to enhance the immunogenicity of an RSV F protein mutant. 5 The term “F2 polypeptide” (F2) refers to the polypeptide chain of a mature RSV F protein. Native F2 includes approximately residues 26-109 of the RSV F0 precursor. As used herein, the term encompasses both native F2 polypeptides and F2 polypeptides including modifications (e.g., amino acid substitutions, insertions, or deletions) from the native sequence, for example, modifications designed to stabilize an RSV F protein mutant in a 10 prefusion conformation or to enhance the immunogenicity of an RSV F protein mutant. In native RSV F protein, the F2 polypeptide is linked to the F1 polypeptide by two disulfide bonds to form a F2-F1 heterodimer. The term “foldon” or “foldon domain” refers to an amino acid sequence that is capable of forming trimers. One example of such foldon domains is the peptide sequence derived from 15 bacteriophage T4 fibritin, which has the sequence of GYIPEAPRDGQAYVRKDGEWVLLSTFL (SEQ ID NO: 23). The term “mutant” of a wild-type RSV F protein, “mutant” of an RSV F protein, “RSV Fprotein mutant,” or “modified RSV F protein” refers to a polypeptide that displays introducedmutations relative to a wild-type F protein and is immunogenic against the wild-type F protein. 20 The term “mutation” refers to deletion, addition, or substitution of amino acid residues in the amino acid sequence of a protein or polypeptide as compared to the amino acid sequence of a reference protein or polypeptide. Throughout the specification and claims, the substitution of an amino acid at one particular location in the protein sequence is referred to using a notation "(amino acid residue in wild type protein)(amino acid position)(amino acid 25 residue in engineered protein)". For example, a notation Y75A refers to a substitution of a tyrosine (Y) residue at the 75th position of the amino acid sequence of the reference protein by an alanine (A) residue (in a mutant of the reference protein). In cases where there isvariation in the amino acid residue at the same position among different wild-type sequences, the amino acid code preceding the position number may be omitted in the notation, such as 30 “75A.” The term “native” or “wild-type” protein, sequence, or polypeptide refers to a naturally existing protein, sequence, or polypeptide that has not been artificially modified by selective mutations. The term “pep27 polypeptide” or “pep27” refers to a 27-amino acid polypeptide that is 35 excised from the F0 precursor during maturation of the RSV F protein. The sequence of pep27 is flanked by two furin cleavage sites that are cleaved by a cellular protease during F protein maturation to generate the F1 and F2 polypeptides. 49

[0048] The term “AM14” refers to an antibody described in WO 2008 / 147196 A2, which ishereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The term “AM22” refers to an antibody described in WO 2011 / 043643 A1, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The term “D25” refers to an antibody described in WO 2008 / 147196 A2, which is hereby5 incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The term “prefusion conformation” refers to a structural conformation adopted by an RSV F protein or mutant thereof that can be specifically bound by (i) antibody D25 or AM22 when the RSV F protein or mutant is in the form of a monomer or trimer, or (ii) by antibody AM14 when the RSV F protein mutant is in the form of a trimer. The prefusion trimer 10 conformation is a subset of prefusion conformations. As used herein, an RSV F protein or polypeptide or mutant thereof in prefusion conformation may be denoted as “RSV preF”. The term “postfusion conformation” refers to a structural conformation adopted by theRSV F protein that is not specifically bound by D25, AM22, or AM14. Native F protein adoptsthe postfusion conformation subsequent to the fusion of the virus envelope with the host 15 cellular membrane. RSV F protein may also assume the postfusion conformation outside the context of a fusion event, for example, under stress conditions such as heat and low osmolality, when extracted from a membrane, when expressed as an ectodomain, or upon storage. The term “mutation” refers to deletion, addition, or substitution of amino acid residues in the amino acid sequence of a protein or polypeptide as compared to the amino acid sequence of 20 a reference protein or polypeptide. Throughout the specification and claims, the substitution of an amino acid at one particular location in the protein sequence is referred to using a notation "(amino acid residue in wild type protein)(amino acid position)(amino acid residue in engineered protein)". For example, a notation Y75A refers to a substitution of a tyrosine (Y) residue at the 75th position of the amino acid sequence of the reference protein by an alanine25 (A) residue (in a mutant of the reference protein). In cases where there is variation in the aminoacid residue at the same position among different wild-type sequences, the amino acid code preceding the position number may be omitted in the notation, such as “75A.” The term “native” or “wild-type” protein, sequence, or polypeptide refers to a naturally existing protein, sequence, or polypeptide that has not been artificially modified by selective30 mutations. In some aspects, the RSV F protein is an RSV F protein of subtype A. In some aspects, the RSV F protein is an RSV F protein of subtype B. As used herein the terms “subtype” and“subgroup” are used interchangeably. As used herein the term “strain” refers to a specific isolate within each subtype or subgroup. 35 Antibodies to RSV F protein are prevalent after natural infection and following vaccination and have been shown to neutralize viral activity in vitro. As used herein, the term “respiratory syncytial virus” or “RSV” is not limited to any particular strain or variant.50

In some aspects, the RSV F protein is an RSV F protein of subtype A.In some aspects, the RSV F protein is an RSV F protein of subtype B. In some aspects, the 5 RSV F protein is a mutant of wild type RSV F protein. In some aspects, the RSV F protein is a mutant of wild type RSV F protein of subtype A. In some aspects, the RSV F protein is a mutant of wild type RSV F protein of subtype B. In some aspects, the composition includes atleast a first and second RSV F protein. In some aspects, the present disclosure provides for compositions that include an RSV10 F protein that is a mutant of wild type RSV F protein, wherein the mutants display introduced mutations in the amino acid sequence relative to the amino acid sequence of thecorresponding wild-type RSV F protein and are immunogenic against the wild-type RSV F protein in the prefusion conformation or against a virus comprising the wild-type F protein. In certain aspects, the RSV F mutants possess certain beneficial characteristics, such as 15 increased immunogenic properties or improved stability in the prefusion conformation of the mutants or prefusion trimeric conformation of the mutant, as compared to the corresponding wild-type F protein. In some aspects, the composition includes at least a first and second RSVF protein comprising mutations. The amino acid mutations in the RSV F protein mutantsinclude amino acid substitutions, deletions, or additions relative to a wild-type RSV F protein. 20 In some aspects, the RSV F protein is an RSV protein mutant as described in WO2017 / 109629, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.In view of the substantial conservation of RSV F sequences, a person of ordinary skill in the art can easily compare amino acid positions between different native RSV F sequences to identify corresponding RSV F amino acid positions between different RSV strains and 25 subtypes. For example, across nearly all identified native RSV F0 precursor proteins, the furin cleavage sites fall in the same amino acid positions. Thus, the conservation of native RSV F protein sequences across strains and subtypes allows use of a reference RSV F sequence for comparison of amino acids at particular positions in the RSV F protein. For the purposes of this disclosure (unless context indicates otherwise), the RSV F 30 protein amino acid positions are given with reference to the amino acid sequence of the full length native F precursor polypeptide of the RSV A2 strain; corresponding to GenInfo Identifier GI 138251 and Swiss Prot identifier P03420 (SEQ ID NO: 1). Structure of the RSV F Protein Mutants The present disclosure provides for compositions that include mutants that further35 comprise a trimerization domain. In some aspects, either the F1 polypeptide or the F2 polypeptide includes at least one introduced modification (e.g., amino acid substitution) as described herein. In some other aspects each of the F1 polypeptide and F2 polypeptide51

[0050] includes at least one introduced modification (e.g., amino acid substitution) as described herein. F1 Polypeptide and F2 Polypeptide of the RSV F Mutants In some aspects, the compositions comprise an RSV F mutant in the mature form of5 the RSV F protein, which comprises two separate polypeptide chains, namely the F1polypeptide and F2 polypeptide. In some other aspects, the F2 polypeptide is linked to the F1polypeptide by one or two disulfide bonds to form a F2 / F1 polypeptide heterodimer. In stillother aspects, the RSV F mutants are in the form a single chain protein, wherein the F2 polypeptide is linked to the F1 polypeptide by a peptide bond or peptide linker. Any suitable10 peptide linkers for joining two polypeptide chains together may be used. Examples of suchlinkers include G, GG, GGG, GS, and SAIG linker sequences. The linker may also be the full length pep27 sequence or a fragment thereof, which full length pep27 sequence correspondsto amino acids at positions 110-136 of SEQ ID NO: 1. The F1 polypeptide chain of the mutant may be of the same length as the full length 15 F1 polypeptide of the corresponding wild-type RSV F protein; however, it may also have deletions, such as deletions of 1 up to 60 amino acid residues from the C-terminus of the full- length F1 polypeptide. A full-length F1 polypeptide of the RSV F mutants corresponds to aminoacid positions 137-574 of the native RSV F0 precursor, and includes (from N- to C-terminus)an extracellular region (residues 137-524), a transmembrane domain (TM) (residues 525-20 550), and a cytoplasmic domain (CT) (residues 551-574). It should be noted that amino acidresidues 514 onwards in a native F1 polypeptide sequence are optional sequences in a F1 polypeptide of the RSV F mutants, and therefore may be absent from the F1 polypeptide of the mutant. In some aspects, the F1 polypeptide of the RSV F mutants lacks the entire cytoplasmic 25 domain. In other aspects, the F1 polypeptide lacks the cytoplasmic domain and a portion of or all entire transmembrane domain. In some specific aspects, the mutant comprises a F1 polypeptide wherein the amino acid residues from position 510, 511, 512, 513, 514, 515, 520, 525, or 530 through 574 are absent. Typically, for mutants that are linked to trimerizationdomain, such as a foldon, amino acids 514 through 574 can be absent. Thus, in some specific 30 aspect, amino acid residues 514 through 574 are absent from the F1 polypeptide of the mutant. In still other specific aspects, the F1 polypeptide of the RSV F mutants comprises orconsists of amino acid residues 137-513 of a native F0 polypeptide sequence, such as any alternative F0 precursor sequence such as those disclosed in SEQ ID NOS: 1, 2, 4, 6, and81-270 of WO2017109629, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.35 The F1 polypeptide of the RSV F mutant may include a C-terminal linkage to a trimerization domain, such as a foldon. Many of the sequences of the RSV F mutants disclosedherein include a sequence of protease cleavage site, such as thrombin cleavage site 52

[0051] (LVPRGS), protein tags, such as 6x His-tag (HHHHHH) and Streptag II (WSHPGFEK), or linker sequences (such as GG and GS) that are not essential for the function of the RSV F protein, such as for induction of an immune response. A person skilled in the art will recognizesuch sequences, and when appropriate, understand that these sequences are not included in 5 a disclosed RSV F mutant. The F1 polypeptide and F2 polypeptide of the RSV F protein mutants to which one or more mutations are introduced can be from any wild-type RSV F proteins known in the art or discovered in the future, including, without limitations, the F protein amino acid sequence ofRSV subtype A, and subtype B strains, including A2 Ontario and Buenos Aires, or any other 10 subtype. In some aspects, compositions of the present disclosure include RSV F mutantscomprising a F1 and / or a F2 polypeptide from an RSV A virus, for example, a F1 and / or F2polypeptide from an RSV F0 precursor protein set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 4 and81-210 of WO2017109629, which sequences are hereby incorporated by reference in their15 entireties, to which one or more mutations are introduced. In some other aspects, compositions of the present disclosure include RSV F mutants comprising a F1 and / or a F2 polypeptide from an RSV B virus, for example, a F1 and / or F2polypeptide from an RSV F0 precursor protein set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 2, 6 and 211- 263 of WO2017 / 109629, which sequences are hereby incorporated by reference in their20 entireties, to which one or more mutations are introduced. In still other aspects, thecompositions include RSV F mutants comprising a F1 and / or a F2 polypeptide from an RSVbovine virus, for example, a F1 and / or F2 polypeptide from an RSV F0 precursor protein set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 264-270 of WO2017109629, which sequences are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties, to which one or more mutations are introduced.25 In some aspects, compositions of the present disclosure include RSV F proteinmutants disclosed in WO2009 / 079796, WO2010 / 149745, WO2011 / 008974,WO2014 / 160463, WO2014 / 174018, WO2014 / 202570, WO2015 / 013551, WO2015 / 177312, WO2017 / 005848, WO2017 / 174564, WO2017 / 005844 and WO2018 / 109220. The RSV F proteins disclosed in these references are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. 30 Trimerization Domains In some aspects, compositions of the present disclosure include RSV F mutantscomprising a trimerization domain. In some aspects, the trimerization domain promotes the formation of trimer of three F1 / F2 heterodimers. Several exogenous multimerization domains that promote formation of stable trimers 35 of soluble proteins are known in the art. Examples of such multimerization domains that can be linked to a mutant provided by the present disclosure include: (1) the GCN4 leucine zipper (Harbury et al. 1993 Science 262: 1401-1407); (2) the trimerization motif from the lung 53

[0052] surfactant protein (Hoppe et al.1994 FEB S Lett 344: 191-195); (3) collagen (McAlinden et al. 2003 Biol Chem 278:42200-42207); and (4) the phage T4 fibritin foldon (Miroshnikov et al. 1998 Protein Eng 11:329-414). In some aspects, a foldon domain is linked to a F mutant atthe C-terminus of F1 polypeptide. In specific aspects, the foldon domain is a T4 fibritin foldon 5 domain, such as the amino acid sequence GYIPEAPRDGQAYVRKDGEWVLLSTFL (SEQ ID NO: 23). Typically, the multimerization domain is positioned C-terminal to the F1 polypeptide. It may join directly to the F1 polypeptide chain. Optionally, the multimerization domain is connected to the F1 polypeptide via a linker, such as an amino acid linker, for example the10 sequence GG, GS, or SAIG. The linker can also be a longer linker (for example, including therepeat sequence GG). Numerous conformationally neutral linkers are known in the art that can be used in the mutants provided by the present disclosure. In some aspects, the RSV Fmutant comprising a foldon domain include a protease cleavage site for removing the foldon domain from the F1 polypeptide, such as a thrombin site between the F1 polypeptide and the15 foldon domain. In a preferred aspect, the RSV F protein to be included in the compositiondisclosed herein comprises a T4 fibritin foldon domain linked at the C-terminus of the F1 polypeptide by an SAIG linker. Introduced Mutations in the RSV F Protein Mutants The compositions including the RSV F protein mutants provided herein comprise a F1 20 polypeptide and a F2 polypeptide, wherein (1) either the F1 polypeptide or (2) the F2 polypeptide, or (3) both the F1 polypeptide and F2 polypeptide include one or more introduced amino acid mutations relative to the amino acid sequence of the corresponding native F protein. The introduction of such amino acid mutations in the RSV F mutants may confer abeneficial property to the mutants, such as enhanced immunogenicity, improved stability, or25 formation or improved stability of certain desired physical form or conformation of the mutants. Such introduced amino acid mutations are referred to as “engineered disulfide bond mutations,” “cavity filling mutations,” or “electrostatic mutations,” and are described in detailherein below. RSV F mutants that include any additional mutations are also encompassed bythe invention so long as the immunogenic property of the mutants is not substantially adversely30 affected by the additional mutations. Engineered Disulfide Bond Mutations In some aspects, the present disclosure provides for compositions comprising RSV Fmutants that include one or more engineered disulfide bond mutations. In some aspects, theRSV F protein is a mutant of a wild-type RSV F protein, wherein the introduced amino acid35 mutations are a pair of amino acid residues in a wild-type RSV F protein to a pair of cysteines (”engineered disulfide mutation”). The introduced pair of cysteine residues allows for formation 54

[0053] of a disulfide bond between the cysteine residues that stabilize the protein’s conformation or oligomeric state, such as the prefusion conformation. In some aspects, the compositions include RSV F protein mutants comprising only oneengineered disulfide mutation (“single engineered disulfide mutation”). In some other aspects,5 the compositions include RSV F protein mutants comprising at least two engineered disulfidemutations, wherein each pair of the cysteine residues of the engineered disulfide mutations are appropriately positioned when RSV F protein mutant is in pre-fusion conformation (“double engineered disulfide mutation”). Examples of specific pairs of such mutations include: 55C and 188C; 155C and 290C; 103C and 148C; and 142C and 371C, such as S55C and L188C;10 S155C and S290C; A103C and I148C; T103C and I148C and L142C and N371C. In some aspects, the present disclosure provides for compositions including RSV F protein mutants, wherein the amino acid mutations are mutation of a pair of amino acid residues in the HRB region (approximately amino acids 476 – 524) of an RSV F protein to apair of cysteines. The introduced pair of cysteine residues allows for formation of a disulfide15 bond between the cysteine residues from two adjacent F2-F1 mutant protomers of a trimer. The disulfide linking two protomers in a trimer serves to stabilize the mutant in a trimeric state. Examples of specific pairs of such mutations include: 508C and 509C; 515C and 516C; 522C and 523C, such as K508C and S509C, N515C and V516C, or T522C and T523C.Cavity Filling Mutations20 In some aspects, compositions of the present disclosure include RSV F proteinmutants comprising one or more cavity filling mutations. The term “cavity filling mutation” refersto the substitution of an amino acid residue in the wild-type RSV F protein by an amino acid that is expected to fill an internal cavity of the mature RSV F protein. In some aspects, suchcavity-filling mutations contribute to stabilizing the pre-fusion conformation of an RSV F protein25 mutant. Examples of amino acids that may be replaced with the goal of cavity filling includesmall aliphatic (e.g. Gly, Ala, and Val) or small polar amino acids (e.g. Ser and Thr) and aminoacids that are buried in the prefusion conformation, but exposed to solvent in the postfusion conformation. Examples of the replacement amino acids include large aliphatic amino acids(Ile, Leu and Met) or large aromatic amino acids (His, Phe, Tyr and Trp).30 In some aspects, the compositions include an RSV F protein mutant comprising acavity filling mutation selected from the group consisting of: (1) substitution of the amino acid at position 55, 62, 155, 190, or 290 with I, Y, L, H, orM; (2) substitution of the amino acid at position 54, 58, 189, 219, or 397 with I, Y, L, H, or 35 M; (3) substitution of the amino acid at position 151 with A or H; (4) substitution of the amino acid at position 147 or 298 with I, L, H, or M; 55

Electrostatic Mutations In some aspects, compositions of the present disclosure include RSV F protein mutants comprising one or more electrostatic mutations. The term “electrostatic mutation”refers to an amino acid mutation introduced to a wild-type RSV F protein that decreases ionic 10 repulsion or increase ionic attraction between residues in a protein that are proximate to each other in the folded structure. In some aspects, an electrostatic mutation may be introduced to improve trimer stability. In some aspects, the RSV F protein mutant includes an electrostaticsubstitution that reduces repulsive ionic interactions or increases attractive ionic interactions with acidic residues of Glu487 and Asp489 from another protomer of RSV F trimer.15 In some aspects, the compositions include an RSV F protein mutant comprising anelectrostatic mutation selected from the group consisting of: (1) substitution of the amino acid at position 82, 92, or 487 by D, F, Q, T, S, L, or H; (2) substitution of the amino acid at position 315, 394, or 399 by F, M, R, S, L, I, Q, or T; (3) substitution of the amino acid at position 392, 486, or 489 by H, S, N, T, or P; and20 (4) substitution of the amino acid at position 106 or 339 by F, Q, N, or W.
