Live attenuated chikungunya virus vaccine
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12011477B2) discloses a pharmaceutical composition containing CHIKV-?5nsP3 particles that express an E2 structural protein. The composition includes a specific number of particles expressing the E2 protein as defined by a particular amino acid sequence, along with particles expressing the protein with one to ten mutations compared to the reference sequence. These mutations can impact the immunogenicity of the particles, with the composition containing varying percentages of mutated particles.
Furthermore, the patented pharmaceutical composition is designed to induce neutralizing antibodies against CHIKV-?5nsP3 in mice, resulting in serum that can neutralize Chikungunya virus infection in vitro. The composition is obtained through a specific production process involving passaging the particles on Vero cells in culture a limited number of times. Additionally, the composition can be administered as a one-shot vaccine, formulated in a lyophilized form for subcutaneous administration, and includes pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The patent also covers a method for protecting against Chikungunya virus disease by administering this pharmaceutical composition to a subject in need, particularly focusing on human subjects.
