Abstract
To develop a universal and long-lasting influenza or other pathogens vaccine has been a mission impossible goal in the life science and health field. Applicants disclose, herein, vaccines prepared against SARS-COV-2, an influenza A strain vaccine prepared from a 1934 influenza virus (A/PR/8/34 H1N1, Puerto Roca, 1934), and an influenza B strain vaccine prepared from a 1940 influenza virus. The disclosed vaccine induces production of broadly neutralizing antibodies in mice. The presently disclosed vaccine is able to inhibit two other influenza A strains: a 2009 influenza H1N1 virus collected from Los Angeles (A/California/07/2009) and a 2014 influenza H3N2 virus collected from Hong Kong (A/Hongkong/4801/2014). Applicants also describe an influenza B strain vaccine prepared from a B strain virus from a 1940 patient in USA (B/L11/40). The B strain vaccine also produced broadly neutralizing antibodies, in this case against a B strain from Colorado 2017 (B/Colorado/2017). Applicant's methods and compositions are not only useful in creating influenza vaccines with broad activity against other influenza subtypes but also be efficient to generate long-lasting SARS-CoV-2 vaccines against emerging new variants either through recombined protein antigens from SARS-CoV-2 or inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virus.
