Estimating the term…
In some embodiments, the present invention provides respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) F proteins, polypeptides and protein complexes that comprise one or more cross-links to stabilize the protein, polypeptide or protein complex in its pre-fusion conformation. In some embodiments the present invention provides RSV F proteins, polypeptides and protein complexes comprising one or more mutations to facilitate such cross-linking. In some embodiments the present invention provides compositions comprising such proteins, polypeptides or protein complexes, including vaccine compositions, and methods of making and using the same.
A RSV F polypeptide, protein or protein complex comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity to amino acid residues 1-513 of SEQ ID NO.1 (RSV type A) or amino acid residues 1-513 of SEQ ID NO.3 (RSV type B), wherein the amino acid sequence comprises a point mutation to tyrosine at one or more of amino acid positions 77, 88, 97, 147, 150, 155, 159, 183, 185, 187, 220, 222, 223, 226, 255, 427 or 469.
