The present invention relates to a mutated HPV18 L1 protein (or a variant thereof), a sequence encoding the same, a method for preparing the same, and a virus-like particle comprising the same, wherein the protein (or a variant thereof) and the virus-like particle can induce the generation of neutralizing antibodies against at least two HPV types (for example, HPV18 and HPV45, or HPV18, HPV45 and HPV59), and therefore can be used to prevent infection by said at least two HPV types, and a disease caused by said infection, such as cervical cancer and condyloma acuminatum. The invention further relates to the use of the protein and the virus-like particle in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition or a vaccine for preventing infection by said at least two HPV types, and a disease caused by said infection, such as cervical cancer and condyloma acuminatum.

Mutant of L1 protein of human papillomavirus type 18

Provided are a mutated HPV16 L1 protein (or a variant thereof), a sequence encoding the same and a method for preparing the same, as well as a virus-like particle comprising the same. The protein (or variant thereof) and the virus-like particle are capable of inducing neutralizing antibodies against at least two types of HPV (e.g., HPV16 and HPV35, or HPV16, HPV35, and HPV31), and therefore can be used to prevent infection by said at least two HPV types, and a disease caused by said infection, such as cervical cancer and condyloma acuminatum. Also provided are a use of the above protein and virus-like particle in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition or vaccine for preventing infection by said at least two HPV types, and a disease caused by said infection, such as cervical cancer and condyloma acuminatum.

Mutant of L1 protein of human papillomavirus type 16

Provided are a mutated HPV58 L1 protein or a variant thereof, a sequence encoding the same, a method for preparing the same, and a virus-like particle comprising the same, wherein the protein or a variant thereof and the virus-like particle can induce the generation of neutralizing antibodies against at least two HPV types, and therefore can be used to prevent infection by said at least two HPV types, and a disease caused by said infection, such as cervical cancer and condyloma acuminatum. The invention further relates to the use of the protein and the virus-like particle in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition or a vaccine for preventing infection by said at least two HPV types, and a disease caused by said infection, such as cervical cancer and condyloma acuminatum.

Mutant of L1 protein of human papillomavirus type 58

The invention relates to a truncated L1 protein of the Human Papillomavirus Type 11, a virus-like particle consisting of the protein, a vaccine comprising said virus-like particle, and the use of the vaccine in the prevention of condyloma acuminatum or HPV infections.

Truncated L1 protein of human papillomavirus type 11

Provided in the present invention are a diphtheria toxin non-toxic mutant CRM197 or a fragment thereof as an adjuvant in a fusion protein and the use thereof to enhance the immunogenicity of a target protein fused therewith, for example, an HEV capsid protein, or an influenza virus M2 protein or an immunogenic fragment thereof. Also provided is a method for enhancing the immunogenicity of a target protein, comprising the fusion expression of the CRM197 or the fragment thereof with the target protein to form a fusion protein. Further provided is a fusion protein comprising the CRM197 or the fragment thereof and a target protein, the CRM197 or the fragment thereof enhancing the immunogenicity of the target protein. The present invention also provides an isolated nucleic acid encoding the fusion protein, a construct and a vector comprising said nucleic acid, and a host cell comprising the nucleic acid.

Fusion protein comprising diphtheria toxin non-toxic mutant CRM197 or fragment thereof
