Description
70583W001INFLUENZA VIRUS VACCINESTECHNICAL FIELDThe present invention is inter alia directed to hemagglutinin (HA) antigens from Influenza B virus (IBV). The present invention is also directed to nucleic acids, suitably mRNAs, encoding such as well as immunogenic compositions, vaccines and kits or kits of parts comprising such. Immunogenic compositions, vaccines and kits-of-parts provided herein are suitable for use as a medicament, in particular, for use in the treatment or prophylaxis of an infection with an Influenza virus, suitably an Influenza A and / or Influenza B virus.BACKGROUNDInfluenza viruses are RNA viruses belonging to the family Orthomyxoviridae (NCBI Taxonomy ID: 11308), being sub-divided into e.g. AlphaInfluenzavirus (the genus that includes Influenza A viruses; IAV) and BetaInfluenzavirus (the genus that includes Influenza B viruses; IBV), that circulate in all parts of the world. Influenza viruses cause acute respiratory illness often during local outbreaks or seasonal epidemics and occasionally during pandemics. Typical Influenza epidemics cause increases in incidence of pneumonia and lower respiratory disease by increased rates of hospitalization or mortality. The elderly or those with underlying chronic diseases are most likely to experience such complications, but young infants also may suffer severe disease. Influenza viruses (mainly Influenza A and B viruses) have a significant impact on global public health, causing millions of cases of severe illness each year, thousands of deaths, and considerable economic losses.Influenza viruses, such as Influenza A and B viruses, are enveloped viruses comprising eight pieces of segmented negative-sense RNA, which encode 11 proteins (HA, NA, NP, M1, M2, NS1, NEP, PA, PB1, PB1-F2, PB2). The best-characterized of these viral proteins are hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), two large glycoproteins found on the outside of the viral particles. NA is an enzyme involved in the release of progeny virus from infected cells. HA is a lectin that mediates binding of the virus to target cells and entry of the viral genome into the target cell.Currently, there are 18 described HA (H1-H18) subtypes and 11 described NA (N1-N11) subtypes of Influenza A viruses (IAV) that potentially form 198 HA and NA combinations. Unlike Influenza A viruses that have a wide range of hosts, the Influenza B viruses (IBV) almost exclusively infect humans. The Influenza B viruses are categorized into two distinct lineages: B / Victoria / 2 / 1987-like (B / Victoria lineage) and B / Yamagata / 16 / 1988-like (B / Yamagata lineage)70583W001viruses that have been circulating worldwide since 1983. B / Yamagata lineage has not been detected after March 2020, using global surveillance for actively circulating Influenza viruses. Influenza virus B mutates at a rate 2 to 3 times slower than type A; however, it significantly impacts children and young adults annually.Vaccination is currently the most widely used method to prevent Influenza outbreaks, particularly in high-risk populations. Constant emergence of new strains of Influenza virus through antigenic drift is the virological basis for seasonal epidemics. Due to its constant evolving nature, the periodic update of viruses contained in Influenza (flu) vaccines is necessary for the vaccines to be effective. Public health authorities monitor the Influenza viruses circulating in humans and update the recommended composition of flu vaccines twice a year. The recommendations issued (usually, three or four different strains of Influenza virus) are used by the national vaccine regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical companies to develop, produce, and license Influenza vaccines for the following Influenza season.Multivalent live attenuated (FLUMIST, AstraZeneca), inactivated (AFLURIA, FLLIAD and FLUCELVAX, Seqirus; FLUARIX and FLULAVAL, GlaxoSmithKline; FLUZONE, Sanofi), or recombinant (FLUBLOK, Sanofi) flu vaccines are already available on the market for active immunization against disease caused by Influenza A viruses and Influenza B viruses contained in the vaccines.Because HA is the major Influenza virus antigen recognized by neutralizing antibodies, this glycoprotein has been the focus of currently inactivated and recombinant approved flu vaccines. Until recently, most of those flu vaccines were quadrivalent vaccines, based on 4 HA derived from each of the four strains of Influenza virus specified by health authorities for inclusion in the annual seasonal vaccine (typically two Influenza subtype A strains and two Influenza type B strains), meaning designed to protect against those four different flu virus strains. Starting for the 2024-2025 season, the recommended flu vaccines will be trivalent as the Influenza B / Yamagata vaccine component is being removed because Influenza B / Yamagata viruses have not been detected in more than 4 years.Clinical studies underlying the currently approved flu vaccines highlight some variabilities in vaccine efficacy against different strains of Influenza virus and in immunogenicity associated with different antigens (e.g. HA) forming the flu vaccine. For example, the efficacy of FLUBLOK against Influenza subtype A is of 54.4% compared to only 23.1% against Influenza type B, both in healthy adults 18-49 years of age. Similarly, the corresponding immunogenicity studies reveal HI GMTs (hemagglutination inhibition geometric mean titers) up to 17-fold higher for HA A antigens than for HA B antigens.70583W001Therefore, there remains a need to provide immunogenic compositions capable of eliciting a broad, rapid and robust immune response against Influenza virus.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn a first aspect, the invention

virus (IAV) HA protein. Domains in HA1 include fusion (F1), vestigial esterase (VE), and receptor-binding domain (RBD). Domains in HA2 include the HA2 ectodomain, transmembrane region (TM), and cytoplasmic tail (CT). The HA head includes the receptor-binding and vestigial esterase subdomains. The stalk (also known as “stem”) contains the HA1 fusion domains and the HA2 ectodomain.70583W001FIG. 2 Multiple alignment of influenza B virus HA amino acid sequences (including SEQ ID NO: 1, 51-56).FIG. 3 Model of the prefusion influenza hemagglutinin (HA) trimer (left), with the head domain (HA1) and fusion subunit (HA2) labeled. Images on the right highlight subdomains that undergo dramatic restructuring from the prefusion structure to the post fusion structure in response to low pH.FIG. 4 HPLC-SEC chromatogram of selected HA ectodomain constructs. Protein peaks with retention times between 4.1 and 4.4 minutes represent HA trimers. The BHA_001 (WT) construct contains a mixture of HA monomers and trimers. HA variants, such as BHA_2001 (A34L) and BHA_2024 (R447F) with specific mutations, demonstrate a significantly improved percentage of trimer content. The BHA_2115 (A34L, R447F) construct shows a more symmetric peak than BHA_001 (WT; wild-type) at the retention time for trimeric HA, indicating a higher proportion of the trimer population.FIG. 5 CryoEM 2D classification of 3 purified HA ectodomain proteins: (1) BLA_0001, wild type; (2) BHA_2115, containing A34L and R447F mutations; and (3) BHA_2116, containing A4L, R447F, and interprotomer disulfide, K420C-D449C.

Accordingly, these sequences constitute an integral part of the underlying description.Hemagglutinin (HA) antigensProtective immune responses induced by vaccination against Influenza viruses are primarily directed to the viral HA protein, which is a glycoprotein on the surface of the virus responsible for interaction of the virus with host cell receptors.HA proteins on the virus surface are homotrimers of HA protein monomers that are enzymatically cleaved to yield amino-terminal HA1 and carboxy-terminal HA2 polypeptides. Structurally, hemagglutinin proteins are comprised of several domains: a globular head domain, a stalk domain (also referred to as a stem domain), a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain (see FIG. 1; Russell etal. Viruses. 2021, 13(5), 746).It is generally thought that during infection of a host cell (e.g. a eukaryotic cell such as a human cell) with an Influenza virus, the HA protein recognizes and binds to sialic acid of a receptor on the surface of a host cell facilitating attachment of the virus to the host cell. Following endocytosis of the virus and acidification of the endosome, the HA protein undergoes a pH-dependent conformational change that allows for the HA protein to facilitate fusion of the viral envelope with the endosome membrane of host cell and entry of the viral nucleic acid into the host cell.The globular head consists exclusively of the major portion of the HA1 polypeptide, whereas the stem that anchors the HA protein into the viral lipid envelope is comprised of HA2 and part of HA1. The globular head of a HA protein includes two domains: the receptor binding domain (RBD), a domain that includes the sialic acid-binding site, and the vestigial esterase domain, a smaller region just below the RBD. In general, Influenza viruses are classified based on the amino acid sequences of the viral HA protein and / or the amino acid sequence of the viral neuraminidase (NA). The differences in amino acid sequence between HA proteins of different subtypes are largely found within the sequence of the globular head domain of the protein. The amino acid sequence of the stalk domain is considered to be more conserved between HA subtypes compared to sequences of the globular head domain. Domains of the HA protein may be predicted using conventional methods known in the art.Many naturally occurring and experimentally derived antibodies that bind and neutralize the HA protein are thought to bind epitopes within the globular head domain of HA and prevent70583W001or reduce interaction of HA with sialic acid on receptors of host cells, thereby preventing or reducing infection of the cell. Alternatively, or in addition, neutralizing antibodies may prevent or reduce fusion of the virus membrane with the membrane of the endosome. Such antibodies may bind epitopes within the stalk domain, thereby inhibiting the conformational change of the protein. Antibodies against Influenza often target variable antigenic sites in the globular head of HA and thus, neutralize only antigenically closely related viruses. The variability of the HA head is due to the constant antigenic drift ( / .e. changes in the protein sequence) of Influenza viruses and is responsible for seasonal endemics of Influenza.Clinical studies underlying the currently approved flu vaccines highlight some variabilities in vaccine efficacy against different strains of Influenza virus and in immunogenicity associated with different antigens (e.g. HA) forming the flu vaccine. For example, the efficacy of FLU BLOK against Influenza subtype A is of 54.4% compared to only 23.1% against Influenza type B, both in healthy adults 18-49 years of age. Similarly, the corresponding immunogenicity studies reveal HI GMTs (Hemagglutination inhibition geometric mean titers) up to 17-fold higher for HA A antigens than for HA B antigens.The inventors overcame the drawbacks of the prior art by providing a HA antigen from an Influenza B virus (IBV) having an amino acid sequence comprising at least one amino acid substitution relative to a reference amino acid sequence, wherein said amino acid sequence of said HA antigen comprises one or more of (i)-(xxviii):(i) a leucine (L) or a phenylalanine (F) at position 34;(ii) a phenylalanine (F) or a tyrosine (Y) at position 447;(iii) a cysteine (C) at position 420 and a cysteine (C) at position 449;(iv) a cysteine (C) at position 428 and a cysteine (C) at position 435;(v) a cysteine (C) at position 394 and a cysteine (C) at position 512;(vi) a cysteine (C) at position 21 and a cysteine (C) at position 384;(vii) a cysteine (C) at position 378 and a cysteine (C) at position 395;(viii) a cysteine (C) at position 381 and a cysteine (C) at position 399;(ix) a cysteine (C) at position 410 and a cysteine (C) at position 462;(x) a cysteine (C) at position 353 and a cysteine (C) at position 371 ;(xi) a cysteine (C) at position 428 and a cysteine (C) at position 433;(xii) a cysteine (C) at position 293 and a cysteine (C) at position 423;(xiii) a cysteine (C) at position 422 and a cysteine (C) at position 444;(xiv) a cysteine (C) at position 34 and a cysteine (C) at position 460;(xv) a cysteine (C) at position 20 and a cysteine (C) at position 477;(xvi) a cysteine (C) at position 385 and a cysteine (C) at position 508;(xvii) an isoleucine (I) at position 450;70583W001(xviii) a phenylalanine (F) at position 454;(xix) a glycine (G), a tyrosine (Y), a leucine (L) or an isoleucine (I) or an alanine (A) at position 110;(xx) an alanine (A) or a valine (V) at position 155;(xxi) an arginine (R) at position 156;(xxii) an alanine (A) at position 194;(xxiii) a phenylalanine (F) at position 206;(xxiv) a glutamic acid (E) at position 208;(xxv) a glutamic acid (E) at position 209;(xxvi) a valine (V) at position 214;(xxvii) an alanine (A) at position 216; or(xxviii) a phenylalanine (F) at position 217,wherein the positions of (i)-(xxviii) are numbered by alignment of the reference to SEQ ID NO: 1.In some embodiments, said at least one amino acid substitution comprises one or more of (i)-(xxviii):(i) A34L or A34F substitution;(ii) R447F or R447Y substitution;(iii) K420C and D449C substitutions;(iv) A428C and E435C substitutions;(v) A394C and A512C substitutions;(vi) G21C and T384C substitutions;(vii) A378C and A395C substitutions;(viii) H381C and S399C substitutions;(ix) N410C and S462C substitutions;(x) A353C and G371C substitutions;(xi) A428C and H433C substitutions;(xii) K293C and Q423C substitutions;(xiii) L422C and D444C substitutions;(xiv) A34C and L460C substitutions;(xv) T20C and L477C substitutions;(xvi) S385C and L508C substitutions;(xvii) T450I substitution;(xviii) Q454F substitution ;(xix) F110G, F110Y, F110L, F1101 or F110A substitution;(xx) S155A or S155V substitution;70583W001(xxi) G156R substitution;(xxii) T 194A substitution;(xxiii) H206F substitution;(xxiv) D208E substitution;(xxv) D209E substitution;(xxvi) A214V substitution;(xxvii) L216A substitution; or(xxviii) Y217F substitution,wherein the positions of (i)-(xxviii) are numbered by alignment of the reference to SEQ ID NO: 1.Some embodiments relate to HA antigens having an amino acid sequence comprising at least one amino acid substitution relative to a reference amino acid sequence, such as a wild type IBV HA amino acid sequence, and / or numbered according to a listed HA amino acid sequence.For clarity, mutations e.g. amino acid substitutions are described using amino acids numbering corresponding to specific listed HA amino acid sequences {e.g. of a recent vaccine strain B / Austria / 1359417 / 2021; e.g. SEQ ID NO: 1). The skilled person will appreciate that mutations e.g. amino acid substitutions disclosed in relation to a listed HA amino acid sequence may be applied to other HA amino acid sequences of IBV, such as Influenza B / Victoria lineage and / or B / Yamagata lineage virus e.g. SEQ ID NO: 51-56). To apply a mutation e.g. amino acid substitutions disclosed with numbering corresponding to a listed amino acid sequence {e.g. SEQ ID NO: 1) to a different reference, such as a different wild type IBV HA amino acid sequence, the skilled person may align that different reference to the listed amino acid sequence with which the mutation is numbered. For example, to apply a R447F substitution numbered according to SEQ ID NO: 1 ( / .e. the listed amino acid sequence), to a different reference, such as a different wild type IBV HA amino acid sequence, the skilled person would align the different reference to SEQ ID NO: 1, and introduce a phenylalanine (F) at the residue of the different reference that corresponds to R447 of SEQ ID NO: 1. An example of such alignment is presented in FIG. 2, the wild type Influenza B / Phuket / 3073 / 2013 virus HA amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 54, showing that residue R449 of SEQ ID NO: 54 aligns to residue R447 of SEQ ID NO: 1. Accordingly, to apply a R447F substitution to SEQ ID NO: 54, the skilled person would replace residue 449 of SEQ ID NO: 54 with a phenylalanine (F), because residue 449 of SEQ ID NO: 54 aligns to R447 of SEQ ID NO: 1. Other examples are presented in FIG. 2, showing alignments of other references e.g. of wild type B / Washington / 02 / 2019 virus HA amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 51), wild type B / Colorado / 06 / 2017 virus HA amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 52), wild type70583W001B / Brisbane / 60 / 2008 virus HA amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 53), wild type B / Phuket / 3073 / 2013 virus HA amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 54), wild type B / Massachusetts / 2 / 2012 virus HA amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 55) or wild type B / Lee / 1940 virus HA amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 56) to the listed wild type HA amino acid sequence of B / Austria / 1359417 / 2021 virus (SEQ ID NO: 1).Some embodiments relate to IBV HA antigens comprising at least one amino acid substitution(s) relative to a reference, such as a wild type IBV HA amino acid sequence. For example, an Influenza B / Victoria lineage virus HA antigen having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6 comprises a leucine (L) substitution and a phenylalanine (F) substitution relative to the wild type Influenza B / Victoria lineage virus HA amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 ( / .e. the reference). The skilled person will appreciate the substitutions disclosed in relation to a listed amino acid sequence (e.g. SEQ ID NO: 1) may be referred to in the form X1[#]X2, where X1 is the amino acid at position [#] in a listed amino acid sequence, and X2 is the amino acid introduced by replacement of the X1 at position [#]. For example, a leucine (L) substitution at position 34 may also be referred to as an A34L substitution, when using SEQ ID NO: 1 as a listed amino acid sequence, because the alanine (A) at position 34 of SEQ ID NO: 1 is replaced with a leucine (L). Such a substitution may also be referred to as an “X2 substitution at position [#]”, meaning that a protein comprises an X2 residue at position [#] (numbered by alignment to a listed amino acid sequence), regardless of whether the residue that was present at position [#] in the reference amino acid sequence was X1, or a different residue other than X1. The skilled person will understand that substitutions disclosed in the form X1[#]X2 may also be applied to a reference amino acid sequence in the form of “X2 substitution at position [#]” that is agnostic to the residue present in the reference amino acid sequence (numbered by alignment to a listed amino acid sequence). While the preceding paragraph uses SEQ ID NO: 1 ( / .e. wild type HA amino acid sequence of Influenza B / Austria / 1359417 / 2021 (B / Victoria lineage) virus) as a reference amino acid sequence, a reference amino acid sequence may be a wild type HA amino acid sequence of another Influenza virus isolate (e.g. of B / Washington / 02 / 2019 virus (SEQ ID NO: 51), B / Colorado / 06 / 2017 virus (SEQ ID NO: 52), B / Brisbane / 60 / 2008 virus (SEQ ID NO: 53), B / Phuket / 3073 / 2013 virus (SEQ ID NO: 54), B / Massachusetts / 2 / 2012 virus (SEQ ID NO: 55) or B / Lee / 1940 virus (SEQ ID NO: 56)), or an engineered HA amino acid sequence that is not encoded by a genome of an isolate.Some embodiments relate to IBV HA antigens having an amino acid sequence comprising a specified residue at a specified position, with positions being numbered according to a listed amino acid sequence (e.g. SEQ ID NO: 1). As with determining the positions of substitutions numbered according to a listed amino acid sequence, the skilled person may align the HA antigen amino acid sequence to the listed amino acid sequence, to determine70583W001whether the HA antigen contains the specified residue at that position corresponding to the specified position of the listed amino acid sequence. For example, to determine whether an HA antigen contains a leucine (L) at position 34 and a phenylalanine (F) at position 447, where the positions are numbered by alignment to SEQ ID NO: 1, the skilled person would align the amino acid sequence of the HA antigen to SEQ ID NO: 1, determine whether the amino acid of the HA antigen that aligns to residue 34 of SEQ ID NO: 1 is a leucine (L), and determine whether the amino acid of the HA antigen that aligns to residue 447 of SEQ ID NO: 1 is a phenylalanine (F).Unless otherwise clear from context, mutations e.g. amino acid substitutions described herein are numbered according to full-length amino acid sequences, such as full-length of wild type IBV HA amino acid sequence {e.g. SEQ ID NO: 1) each of which includes the signal peptide ( / .e. residue 1 of each sequence is the methionine encoded by the start codon of an ORF encoding the HA). The skilled person will understand that other numbering schemes exist for reference to other forms or subunits of an HA, such as a post-signal peptide cleavage form (where residue 1 is the N-terminal amino acid after signal peptide cleavage).It has been found that the IBV HA antigens as described herein i.e. comprising at least one amino acid substitution, such as one or more of (i)-(xxviii), are optimized antigens. In particular, or in addition, the IBV HA antigens as described herein exhibit an improved expression, stability e.g. in pre-fusion conformation), and / or trimerization, e.g. as compared to a wild type IBV HA antigen.Therefore, in a first aspect, the invention relates to a hemagglutinin (HA) antigen from Influenza B virus (IBV) having an amino acid sequence comprising at least one amino acid substitution relative to a reference amino acid sequence, wherein said amino acid sequence of said HA antigen comprises one or more of (i)-(xxviii):(i) a leucine (L) or a phenylalanine (F) at position 34;(ii) a phenylalanine (F) or a tyrosine (Y) at position 447;(iii) a cysteine (C) at position 420 and a cysteine (C) at position 449;(iv) a cysteine (C) at position 428 and a cysteine (C) at position 435;(v) a cysteine (C) at position 394 and a cysteine (C) at position 512;(vi) a cysteine (C) at position 21 and a cysteine (C) at position 384;(vii) a cysteine (C) at position 378 and a cysteine (C) at position 395;(viii) a cysteine (C) at position 381 and a cysteine (C) at position 399;(ix) a cysteine (C) at position 410 and a cysteine (C) at position 462;(x) a cysteine (C) at position 353 and a cysteine (C) at position 371 ;(xi) a cysteine (C) at position 428 and a cysteine (C) at position 433;(xii) a cysteine (C) at position 293 and a cysteine (C) at position 423;70583W001(xiii) a cysteine (C) at position 422 and a cysteine (C) at position 444;(xiv) a cysteine (C) at position 34 and a cysteine (C) at position 460;(xv) a cysteine (C) at position 20 and a cysteine (C) at position 477;(xvi) a cysteine (C) at position 385 and a cysteine (C) at position 508;(xvii) an isoleucine (I) at position 450;(xviii) a phenylalanine (F) at position 454;(xix) a glycine (G), a tyrosine (Y), a leucine (L) or an isoleucine (I) or an alanine (A) at position 110;(xx) an alanine (A) or a valine (V) at position 155;(xxi) an arginine (R) at position 156;(xxii) an alanine (A) at position 194;(xxiii) a phenylalanine (F) at position 206;(xxiv) a glutamic acid (E) at position 208;(xxv) a glutamic acid (E) at position 209;(xxvi) a valine (V) at position 214;(xxvii) an alanine (A) at position 216; or(xxviii) a phenylalanine (F) at position 217.In some embodiments, the positions of (i)-(xxviii) are numbered by alignment of the reference to SEQ ID NO: 1.In some embodiments, said reference amino acid sequence is a wild type IBV HA amino acid sequence, optionally said IBV is from B / Victoria lineage or B / Yamagata lineage, suitably from B / Victoria lineage.In some embodiments, said reference amino acid sequence comprises SEQ ID NO: 1, 51 , 52, 53, 54, 55 or 56.

Likewise, disclosure related to nucleic acids, including mRNAs, encoding mutated Influenza virus antigens may also be relevant to the mutated Influenza virus antigens. Thus, when a composition comprising an mRNA70583W001encoding an Influenza virus antigen having a particular mutation, e.g. amino acid substitution, is disclosed, the skilled person can infer that the Influenza virus antigen per se, and compositions comprising the Influenza virus antigen are also disclosed.Nucleic acid-based vaccination including DNA or RNA, suitably messengerRNA (mRNA), represents a promising technique for novel vaccines e.g. against emerging viruses and for the provision of combination vaccines. Nucleic acids can be genetically engineered and administered to a human subject. Transfected cells directly produce the encoded antigen (e.g. provided by a DNA or an RNA, in particular an mRNA), which results in protective immunological responses.Nucleic acids as described herein, e.g. DNAs or RNAs, suitably mRNAs, form the basis for a nucleic-acid based immunogenic composition or a nucleic acid-based vaccine.Such nucleic acid-based immunogenic compositions, or nucleic acid-based vaccines as provided herein have advantages over classical vaccine approaches.In general, protein-based vaccines, inactivated vaccines or live attenuated vaccines require long development times and are less suitable for rapid responses of epidemic virus outbreaks such as e.g. the Influenza virus outbreaks. Indeed, because traditional methods for producing standard inactivated flu vaccines take a long period of time, the GISRS (Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System) recommendation is made six to seven months prior the start of the Influenza season, during which the Influenza viruses may continue to evolve.In contrast, the nucleic acid-based immunogenic compositions and vaccines provided herein allow very fast manufacturing. Therefore, in comparison with known vaccines, immunogenic compositions or vaccines based on nucleic acids can be produced and manufactured significantly faster, which is very advantageous particularly for use in developing countries or in the context of annual epidemics or a global pandemic. The nucleic acid-based immunogenic compositions or vaccines offer the GISRS additional time to monitor circulating viruses and make its recommendation closer to the Influenza season. This extension of the GISRS monitoring timeline should allow the GISRS predictions to be more accurate, resulting in more effective vaccines designated to target circulating viruses closer to Influenza season. Furthermore, the different nucleic acid encoding different antigens (e.g. of different Influenza strains) can be combined in one immunogenic composition or vaccine to ensure or increase the effectiveness of the immune response against Influenza virus.The use of RNA, suitably mRNA, in or as a vaccine overcomes the disadvantages of conventional genetic vaccination involving incorporating DNA into cells in terms of safeness,70583W001feasibility, applicability, and effectiveness to generate immune responses. RNA molecules, suitably mRNAs, are considered to be significantly safer than DNA-based vaccines (or DNA vaccines), as RNAs, suitably mRNAs, are more easily degraded. They are cleared quickly out of the organism and cannot integrate into the genome and influence the cell's gene expression in an uncontrollable manner. It is also less likely for RNA, suitably mRNA, vaccines to cause severe side effects like the generation of autoimmune disease or anti-DNA antibodies. Transfection with RNA, suitably mRNA, requires only insertion into the cell's cytoplasm, which is easier to achieve than into the nucleus.In further aspects, the invention relates to a nucleic acid, suitably an mRNA, encoding an IBV HA antigen as described herein.In some embodiments, said nucleic acid is a DNA or an RNA, suitably mRNA.In some embodiments, said nucleic acid is a DNA.In some embodiments, said nucleic acid is an artificial nucleic acid, e.g. an artificial DNA or an artificial RNA, suitably an artificial mRNA.In some embodiments, said nucleic acid is an RNA, suitably an mRNA.RNA is the usual abbreviation for ribonucleic acid. It is a nucleic acid molecule, i.e. a polymer consisting of nucleotides. These nucleotides are usually adenosine-monophosphate, uridine-monophosphate, guanosine-monophosphate and cytidine-monophosphate monomers which are connected to each other along a so-called backbone. The backbone is formed by phosphodiester bonds between the sugar, i.e. ribose, of a first and a phosphate moiety of a second, adjacent monomer. The specific succession of the monomers is called the RNA sequence. Usually, RNA may be obtainable by transcription of a DNA sequence, e.g. inside a cell. In eukaryotic cells, transcription is typically performed inside the nucleus or the mitochondria. Typically, transcription of DNA usually results in the so-called premature RNA which has to be processed into so-called messenger RNA, usually abbreviated as mRNA. Processing of the premature RNA, e.g. in eukaryotic organisms, comprises a variety of different posttranscriptional modifications such as splicing, 5'-capping, polyadenylation, export from the nucleus or the mitochondria and the like. The sum of these processes is also called maturation of RNA. The mature messenger RNA usually provides the nucleotide sequence that may be translated into an amino acid sequence of a particular peptide or protein. Typically, a mature mRNA comprises a 5'-cap, a 5'-UTR, a coding region, a 3'-UTR and a poly(A) sequence. Aside from messenger RNA, several non-coding types of RNA exist which may be involved in regulation of transcription and / or translation.]In some embodiments, said nucleic acid is an mRNA.70583W001In some embodiments, the RNA is selected from the group consisting of a selfamplifying (or self-replicating) mRNA (sometimes also referred to as “SAM” or “samRNA”), a non-amplifying mRNA (sometimes also referred to as a conventional mRNA), and a transamplifying mRNA.In some embodiments, the RNA may be a circular mRNA.In some embodiments, the RNA, such as the conventional mRNA, the SAM, and / or the trans-amplifying mRNA, is linear.In some embodiments, the RNA is a self-amplifying (or self-replicating) mRNA. In some embodiments, the RNA is a self-amplifying (or self-replicating) linear mRNA.A "self-amplifying (or self-replicating) mRNA” (sometimes also referred to as “SAM” or “samRNA”) is an RNA molecule which can direct its own amplification once it is introduced into the intracellular environment. The RNA replicon or SAM encodes one or more proteins that are capable of amplifying the RNA replicon or SAM in an intracellular environment. For instance, an RNA replicon or SAM may be constructed from an alphavirus so that it encodes nsP1-4 (e.g. non-structural protein 1 (nsP1 or non-structural alphavirus protein 1), nsP2, nsP3, and nsP4, e.g. further alphavirus nsP1-4). “Capable” is used to refer to the ability of these proteins to co-opt intracellular proteins to thereby amplifying the RNA replicon or SAM once said RNA replicon or SAM are introduced into the cell, and the cell’s transcriptional and translational machinery causes expression of said proteins. “Capable” is also used to refer to the requirement that the cell provide the nucleotides necessary to produce the new strand of SAM or RNA replicon. These one or more proteins that amplify the RNA replicon or SAM are encoded together or separately on one or more sequences of the SAM or RNA replicon. These one or more RNA sequences that together encode the one or more proteins that amplify the RNA are, as RNA sequences, cis-acting RNA sequences. The one or more proteins that amplify the RNA replicon or SAM are cis-acting proteins.In some embodiments, provided are a first RNA molecule and a second RNA molecule which are collectively called trans-amplifying mRNA. The first RNA molecule and second RNA molecule together are able to direct their own amplification once introduced into the intracellular environment. Therefore, that which is encoded in individual sequences of the SAM or the RNA replicon can be divided out into discrete RNA molecules and introduced together into the cell, and together these first and second RNA molecules encode one or more proteins capable of amplifying the first and / or second RNA molecules in an intracellular environment. This plurality of RNA molecules are collectively called trans-amplifying mRNA.70583W001In some embodiments, the RNA does not comprise a replicase element (e.g. a nucleic acid encoding a replicase).In some embodiments, the RNA is not a self-amplifying (or self-replicating) mRNA.
