The present disclosure relates to the discovery of compositions and methods for therapeutic immunization for SARS-CoV-2 infections and / or
disease(s) associated with expression of
Glypican-3 (GPC3), including but not limited to cancers such as
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods of the disclosure include a method of generating
virus like vesicles (VLVs), VLVs comprising SARS-CoV-2 antigens from a
high titer VLV producing vector, VLVs comprising GPC3 antigens from a
high titer VLV producing vector, methods of treating, ameliorating, and / or preventing SARS-COV-2 infection, methods of inducing a memory T and
B cell immune response against SARS-CoV-2 infection in a, methods of treating, ameliorating, and / or preventing GPC3 associated
disease, and methods of inducing a memory T and
B cell immune response against GPC3 in a subject. Furthermore, the disclosure encompasses a pharmaceutical composition for vaccinating a subject to protect the subject against infection with
