A vector comprising a first DNA sequence which is complementary to at least part of an alphavirus RNA genome and having the complement of complete alphavirus DNA genome replication regions, a second DNA sequence encoding a paramyxovirus protein, particularly a respiratory syncytial virus fusion (RSV F) protein or a RSV F protein fragment that generates antibodies that specifically react with RSV F protein, the first and second DNA sequences being under the transcriptional control of a promoter is described. Such vector may be used to produce an RNA transcript which may be used to immunize a host, including a human host, to protect the host against disease caused by paramyxovirus, particularly respiratory syncytial virus, by administration to the host.

The fusion (F) protein, attachment (G) protein and matrix (M) protein of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are isolated and purified from respiratory syncytial virus by mild detergent extraction of the proteins from concentrated virus, loading the protein onto a hydroxyapatite or other ion-exchange matrix column and eluting the protein using mild salt treatment. The F, G and M proteins, formulated as immunogenic compositions, are safe and highly immunogenic and protect relevant animal models against respiratory syncytial virus.

Chimeric respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and vaccine compositions thereof are produced by introducing one or more heterologous gene(s) or gene segment(s) from one RSV subgroup or strain into a recipient RSV backround of a different subgroup or strain. The resulting chimeric RSV virus or subviral particle is infectious and attenuated, preferably by introduction of selected mutations specifying attenuated phenotypes into a chimeric genome or antigenome to yield, for example, temperature sensitive (ts) and/or cold adapted (ca) vaccine strains. Alternatively, chimeric RSV and vaccine compositions thereof incorporate other mutations specifying desired structural and/or phenotypic characteristics in an infectious chimeric RSV. Such chimeric RSV incorporate desired mutations specified by insertion, deletion, substitution or rearrangement of one or more selected nucleotide sequence(s), gene(s), or gene segment(s) in a chimeric RSV clone. This provides a method for development of novel vaccines against diverse RSV strains by using a common attenuated backbone as a vector to express protective antigens of heterologous strains. The immune system of an individual is stimulated to induce protection against natural RSV infection, preferably in a multivalent manner to achieve protection against multiple RSV strains and/or subgroups.

The invention relates to a respiratory syncytial virus vaccine, and the preparation method and application, in particular to an application of escherichia coli to express and recombinant respiratory syncytial virus G protein and mutation G protein, and preparation vaccine with nontoxic typed escherichia coli heat labile enterotoxin, for human or animal preventive inoculation, and for respiratory syncytial virus resistance, belonging to the field of biotechnology. The respiratory syncytial virus vaccine is characterized in that: the respiratory syncytial virus subunits vaccine comprises lopped respiratory syncytial virus RSV protein G, and further comprises nontoxic typed escherichia coli heat labile enterotoxin LT adjuvant. The vaccines are lopped respiratory syncytial virus RSV protein G containing amino acid between aa130 and 230 of the original G protein, and substitutes the amino acid CAWIC (CX3C module ordered) between aa182 and 186 with the amino acid YLEKESIYY (CTL epitope) on the RSV M protein, forming the GCIL protein.

The invention provides a respiratory syncytial virus pre-fusion F protein and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of respiratory syncytial virus vaccines. The pre-fusion F proteinis formed in the way that the 106th, 108th and 109th amino acids of a wild-type F protein are mutated from Arg to Asn, the 104th amino acid is mutated from Asn to Cys, the 155th amino acid is mutatedfrom Ser to Cys, or the 58th amino acid is mutated from Thr to Cys, and the 190th amino acid is mutated from Ser to Cys. A first furin cleavage site of the mutant wild-type F protein makes the structure of Pre-F more stable, the expression amount is not decreased, and the pre-fusion epitope of M1-F expression in 293T cells is significantly increased. The second mutation of the amino acid site of the F protein forms a disulfide bond, achieves the more stable pre-fusion epitope compared to the wild type, and is suitable for other strains of human RSV. The protein is suitable for various vaccineforms with the RSV F protein as the antigen, such as nucleic acid vaccines, protein vaccines, vector vaccines and recombinant virus particle vaccines.

Recombinant respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) having the position of genes shifted within the genome or antigenome of the recombinant virus are infectious and attenuated in humans and other mammals. Gene shifted RSV are constructed by insertion, deletion or rearrangement of genes or genome segments within the recombinant genome or antigenome and are useful in vaccine formulations for eliciting an anti-RSV immune response. Also provided are isolated polynucleotide molecules and vectors incorporating a recombinant RSV genome or antigenome wherein a gene or gene segment is shifted to a more promoter-proximal or promoter-distal position within the genome or antigenome compared to a wild type position of the gene in the RSV gene map. Shifting the position of genes in this manner provides for a selected increase or decrease in expression of the gene, depending on the nature and degree of the positional shift. In one embodiment, RSV glycoproteins are upregulated by shifting one or more glycoprotein-encoding genes to a more promoter-proximal position.
