Embodiments herein report compositions, methods and uses for dengue-4 (DENV-4) virus constructs. Some embodiments concern a composition that includes, but is not limited to, DENV-4 virus constructs alone or in combination with other constructs, can be used in a vaccine composition to induce an immune response in a subject. In certain embodiments, compositions can include constructs of more than one serotypes of dengue virus, such as dengue-1 virus, dengue-2 virus, or dengue-3 virus in combination with DENV-4 virus constructs disclosed herein. In other embodiments, DENV-4 constructs disclosed herein can be combined in a composition with other flavivirus constructs to generate a vaccine against more than one flavivirus. Other embodiments provide methods and uses for DENV-4 virus constructs in vaccine compositions that when administered to a subject induce an immune response in the subject against DENV-4 that is improved by modified constructs compared to other vaccine compositions.

Compositions, methods and uses for dengue virus serotype-4 constructs

Embodiments herein relate to compositions and methods for stabilizing live alphaviruses. Other embodiments relate to compositions and methods for reducing degradation of live, attenuated alphaviruses. Certain embodiments relate to providing a stabilizing composition while reducing immune reaction in a subject to excipients that stabilize the live alphaviruses by providing improved formulations. Yet other embodiments relate to uses of compositions disclosed herein in kits for portable applications and methods wherein the compositions reduce degradation of the live alphaviruses.

Compositions and methods for stabilizing alphaviruses with improved formulations

Embodiments of the present invention generally disclose methods, compositions and uses for generating and expressing enterobacterial-associated peptides. In some embodiments, enterobacterial-associated peptides include, but are not limited to plague-associated peptides. In certain embodiments, methods generally relate to making and using compositions of constructs including, but not limited to, attenuated or modified vaccinia virus vectors expressing enterobacterial-associated peptides. In other embodiments, vaccine compositions are reported of use in a subject.

Compositions, methods and uses for expression of enterobacterium-associated peptides

Embodiments of the present invention generally disclose methods, compositions and uses for generating and expressing poxvirus constructs. In some embodiments, constructs may contain an influenza virus gene segment. In certain embodiments, methods generally relate to making and using compositions of constructs including, but not limited to, poxvirus vaccine compositions. In other embodiments, vaccine compositions are reported of use in a subject.

Compositions, methods and uses for poxvirus elements in vaccine constructs

Embodiments of the present invention generally disclose methods, compositions and uses for generating and expressing poxvirus constructs. In some embodiments, constructs may contain an influenza virus gene segment. In certain embodiments, methods generally relate to making and using compositions of constructs including, but not limited to, poxvirus vaccine compositions having two or more influenza gene segments. In other embodiments, vaccine compositions are reported of use in a subject.
