Fusion protein of pentamer and gB of cytomegalovirus, and vaccine containing said fusion protein

A fusion protein complex comprising:

• three envelope glycoprotein B (gB proteins), and
• a pentamer of cytomegalovirus (CMV) proteins,
• wherein the fusion protein complex comprises three gB protein-CMV protein fusion proteins in which each of the three gB proteins is fused to a different CMV protein of the pentamer,
• wherein the gB protein is an ectodomain of a gB protein having 90% or more sequence identity with an ectodomain of the gB protein consisting of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:
• 15, SEQ ID NO:
• 16, SEQ ID NO:
• 3, or SEQ ID NO:
• 31, and
• wherein the pentamer consists of the following CMV proteins:
• a gH protein comprising a sequence having 90% or more sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:
• 4;
• a gL protein comprising a sequence having 90% or more sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:
• 5;
• a UL128 protein comprising a sequence having 90% or more sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:
• 6;
• a UL130 protein comprising a sequence having 90% or more sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:
• 7;
• and
• a UL131 protein comprising a sequence having 90% or more sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:
• 8.
