The present invention features methods to substantially increase the immunogenicity of a vaccine, preferably a DNA vaccine, and involves providing a mammal with a vaccine regimen, which includes an immunogen and Flt3L in combination with MIP-1α or MIP-3α. The methods of the present invention can be used for the prevention and treatment of various pathological states, including for example, cancer, microbial infections, autoimmune diseases, tissue rejection, and allergic reactions.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to recombinant adenoviral vectors based on adenoviruses that encounter pre-existing immunity in a minority of the human population and which harbour a chimeric capsid. The chimeric capsid comprises fiber proteins that have at least the knob domain of a human adenovirus that binds to the Coxsackievirus and Adenovirus Receptor (CAR) and a hexon protein from an adenovirus serotype that encounters pre-existing immunity in a low percentage of the human population.
Recombinant Adenoviruses Based On Serotype 26 And 48, And Use Thereof
The present application relates to recombinant adenoviruses, more in particular those that encounter low levels of pre-existing neutralizing activity in hosts that are in need of treatment or vaccination. Particularly, the invention relates to recombinant vectors derived from two subgroup D adenoviruses: Ad26 and Ad48.

Stabilized trimers of a clade A strain and a clade C strain of HIV-1 are provided. Broadly neutralizing antisera against HIV-1, methods of making broadly neutralizing antisera against HIV-1, broadly neutralizing vaccines against HIV-1, as well as methods of treating subjects infected with HIV, preventing HIV infection, and inhibiting HIV-mediated activities are also provided.
Antiviral Vaccines With Improved Cellular Immunogenicity
The invention provides compositions, methods, and kits for the treatment or prevention of viral infections. The polyvalent (e.g., 2-valent) vaccines described herein incorporate computationally-optimized viral polypeptides that can increase the diversity or breadth and depth of cellular immune response in vaccinated subjects.

The invention relates to immunogenic compositions and vaccines containing a coronavirus (e.g., Wuhan coronavirus (2019-nCoV; also referred to as SARS-CoV-2)) protein or a polynucleotide encoding a coronavirus (e.g., Wuhan coronavirus (2019-nCoV; SARS-CoV-2)) protein and uses thereof. The invention also provides methods of treating and/or preventing a coronavirus (e.g., Wuhan coronavirus (2019-nCoV; SARS-CoV-2)) infection by administering an immunogenic composition or vaccine to a subject (e.g., a human). The invention also provides methods of detecting and/or monitoring a protective anti-coronavirus (e.g., Wuhan coronavirus (2019-nCoV; SARS-CoV-2)) antibody response (e.g., anti-coronavirus antibody response, e.g., anti-2019-nCoV antibody response, e.g., anti-Spike antibody response, e.g., anti-Spike neutralizing antibody response). The present invention relates to isolated nucleic and/or recombinant nucleic acid encoding a coronavirus S protein, in particular a SARS-CoV-2 S protein, and to the coronavirus S proteins, as well as to the use of the nucleic acids and/or proteins thereof in vaccines.

Dr. Ashish Jha: If you’re boosted, COVID almost definitely won’t kill you. That’s the good news.
Both the monovalent and bivalent boosters work, said Dr. Dan Barouch, who runs Beth Israels Center for Virology and Vaccine Research and oversaw the study, said in an interview. But there is no evidence that the bivalent booster works better than the monovalent booster against BA.5.
