Docket No.: 70348WO01 CYSTEINE-SUBSTITUTED RSV-F PROTEINS FIELD The present disclosure is in the field of vaccinology, in particular structure-based protein design of vaccine antigens. BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (“RSV”) is a ribonucleic acid virus of the Pneumoviridae family of which two antigenically distinct subgroups / subtypes, referred to as RSV A and RSV B, exist. RSV is a leading cause of infant and older adult hospitalisation and mortality. Each year in the United States, RSV leads to approximately 58,000 hospitalisations with 100-500 deaths among children under five [1], and 177,000 hospitalisations with 14,000 deaths among adults aged 65 years and above [2]. The development of a safe and efficacious vaccine to prevent severe disease and hospitalization from RSV is therefore a high priority. The antiviral drug ribavirin is the only approved antiviral therapy for RSV treatment, but its use is restricted to severe hospitalized cases in infants and young children [3]. Furthermore, two RSV- specific humanized monoclonal antibodies, palivizumab (Synagis) and motavizumab, are confirmed to be safe and effective in reducing RSV hospitalization rates and serious complications among high- risk children in multiple clinical settings [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. Available treatment for RSV in older adults is generally supportive in nature, consisting of supplemental oxygen, intravenous fluids and bronchodilators. In May 2023, the first RSV vaccine was approved by the FDA (AREXVY, for older adults). However, there evidently remains a need for further safe and effective prophylactic vaccines for RSV. Structure-based antigen design may hold the key to the development of such a vaccine. The RSV fusion protein (“RSV-F”) in the viral envelope is the most effective target of neutralizing antibodies, such as motavizumab. Recent advances in RSV-F structural biology have revealed changes in its antigenic characteristics that occur during the fusion process between the viral envelope and host cell membrane. RSV-F adopts a metastable “pre-fusion” conformation in the viral envelope as a homotrimer, and then an irreversible and distinct “post-fusion” conformation during fusion with the host cell membrane (see Figure 2 of [9]). The pre-fusion conformation is more immunogenic, and is bound by most RSV-F-specific neutralising antibodies in human sera. However, the native pre-fusion conformation is not energetically favourable. Therefore, pre-fusion RSV-F antigens, for use in vaccination, need to be stabilised to prevent irreversible folding to the post-fusion conformation. Thus, there remains a need for pre-fusion RSV-F protein designs which exhibit optimal properties for use as vaccine antigens, e.g. being stable in the pre-fusion conformation, amenable to high expression
Docket No.: 70348WO01 yields when expressed from nucleic acids (for nucleic acid-based vaccine formats), and which elicit potent neutralising immune responses against RSV. SUMMARY The inventors have created new RSV-F proteins in the pre-fusion conformation. Firstly, exemplary RSV-F proteins according to the present disclosure exhibit particularly high stability of the pre-fusion conformation. When subjected to increasing temperature, with protein unfolding events being observed via nano-differential scanning fluorimetry (nano-DSF), exemplary RSV-F proteins exhibit higher melting temperatures than a number of control designs, including DS-Cav1 (see, e.g. Example 2, Table 4). Furthermore, the ability of exemplary RSV-F proteins to retain the pre- fusion conformation when stressed at temperatures of 50°C and 60°C over hourly timescales is greater than such control designs (see, e.g. Example 2, Figure 8). In the in vivo context, such enhanced stability is advantageous. Without wishing to be bound by theory, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may consistently retain the immunogenic pre-fusion conformation over time, either when expressed on the cell surface following delivery via nucleic acid, or when administered as a recombinant protein. Hence, the subject’s immune system may be exposed to pre-fusion RSV-F for longer, leading to more potent immune responses. In the context of a nucleic acid (e.g. RNA)-based vaccine, high expression levels from nucleic acids may further potentiate the immunogenicity of a stable pre-fusion RSV-F design. Indeed, exemplary RSV-F proteins according to the present disclosure exhibit such high expression levels from nucleic acids in vitro (see, e.g. Example 4; Figures 16-18) – an effect which is enhanced through selective truncation of the C-terminal cytoplasmic tail of the RSV-F protein. These in vitro observations are corroborated by in vivo evidence (see e.g. Example 6, Figures 23 and 24), where exemplary RSV-F proteins (delivered via nucleic acid) elicited higher neutralising antibody titres against RSV of the A and B subtypes, in comparison to a number of control constructs. Neutralising antibody titres generally correlate with inhibition of viral replication in the lungs and other respiratory sites, and thus protective efficacy in a subject. Hence, without wishing to be bound by theory, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may allow for protective efficacy against RSV to be achieved at lower doses of a nucleic acid-based vaccine, leading to further possible benefits, such as reduced reactogenicity. See also e.g. Examples 11, 14 and 15 (Figures 31-34, 48-49 and 41-47 respectively), for further evidence of in vivo efficacy, in particular incorporating codon optimisation of nucleic acids. Furthermore, one or two administrations of codon-optimised nucleic acid elicited neutralising antibody titers against RSV strains of the A and B subtypes which were maintained for at least six months post-administration (see, e.g. Example 15, Figures 39 and 40). The effects and advantages above were achieved through a combination of originally in silico- predicted substitutions (to wild-type RSV-F) which promote and/or stabilise the pre-fusion conformation, and the introduction of a disulphide bond into the heptad repeat B (HRB) domain of the
Docket No.: 70348WO01 RSV-F protein. Cysteine residue pairs were introduced into inter alia, said region, in the expectation of forming inter-protomer disulphide bonds (that is, between protomers in an RSV-F protein trimer). See, e.g. Example 1; Figures 1-3 and 13. However, surprisingly, certain cysteine pairs form intra- protomer disulphide bonds (that is within protomers in an RSV-F protein trimer). See, e.g. Example 3; Figures 14 and 15, where the intra-protomer disulphide bond was confirmed through cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Moreover, such disulphide bonds in specific positions result in a stabilisation mechanism whereby (i) negatively charged residues in the HRB domain are substituted for cysteines and (ii) further negatively charged residues are positioned further apart, relative to wild-type, as a result of the disulphide bond (see e.g. Figure 15 C-F). This mechanism reduces repulsive electrostatic interactions between negatively charged residues in the HRB domain, which in wild-type help to drive the conformational change from pre- to post-fusion conformation. Hence, such disulphide bonds contribute to the stability of RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure. Analysis by cryo-EM also revealed further, surprising, structural effects of such disulphide bonds (see, e.g. Example 12). In some embodiments, such disulphide bonds may reposition the side chain of wild- type aromatic residue F488 to introduce a pi-pi stacking interaction with wild-type residue aromatic F137 in the fusion peptide (see, e.g. Figures 36A and D). In such embodiments, the additional interaction (over wild-type) may result in a cation-pi-pi trio-stacking interaction between residues K339, F137 and F488, which may further restrict movement of the fusion peptide, thereby helping to stabilise the pre-fusion conformation (see, e.g. Figures 36C and D). Furthermore, exemplary RSV-F proteins according to the present disclosure also elicit neutralising antibody titers when administered as an adjuvanted recombinant protein, see e.g. Example 14 (Figure 49). Given all of the above, RSV-F proteins generated by the inventors may be useful as vaccine antigens, namely to be used in prophylactic vaccination against RSV.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION RSV-F proteins The present disclosure provides, in a first independent aspect, an RSV-F protein, comprising at least two mutations relative to SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3 within a region of the protein corresponding to positions 474-523 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3; wherein the at least two mutations introduce, through substitution or insertion, a pair of C residues into the region, which form a disulphide bond.
Docket No.: 70348WO01 The present disclosure also provides, in a second independent aspect, an RSV-F protein comprising a C residue at position 486 and a C residue at position 490; wherein the C residues form a disulphide bond. The present disclosure also provides, in a third independent aspect, a trimer comprising three RSV-F proteins according to said first and second independent aspects. Preferably, the trimer is a homotrimer. The homotrimer will generally comprise or consist of three RSV-F proteins, each of which comprise or consist of the same amino acid sequence. For the avoidance of doubt, RSV-F proteins according to said first and second independent aspects (including when in trimeric form according to said third independent aspect) are “RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure”, as referred to herein. Nucleic acids (e.g. RNA) which encode such RSV-F proteins are “nucleic acids of the present disclosure”, as referred to herein (or e.g. in preferred embodiments, “RNA of the present disclosure”, as referred to herein). The RSV-F sequences that are wild-type (in whole or in large part) according to SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 and 4 are not “RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure” as referred to herein. Consequently, nucleic acids encoding SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 or 4 are also not “nucleic acids of the present disclosure” as referred to herein. RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure and the mutations which they comprise (relative to a wild- type RSV-F protein), are “engineered”, in the sense that such mutations have been deliberately selected and introduced into the proteins, at least in part in order to enhance pre-fusion stability and/or expression from nucleic acids. RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may also be considered “recombinant” (“engineered” and “recombinant” may be used interchangeably in this context). Accordingly, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure are mutated relative to SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure are also mutated relative to SEQ ID NO: 2 or 4. SEQ ID NO: 1 is an RSV-F sequence from a strain of human RSV of the A2 subtype that contains two mutations (K66E and Q101P) relative to GenBank Accession number KT992094 (said mutations resulting from in vitro passaging, see [10]). SEQ ID NO: 3 is the RSV-F sequence from B subtype strain M16 (GenBank accession no. ASU44512.1). SEQ ID NO: 2 and 4 are recombinant protein sequences comprising the wild-type sequence from SEQ ID NO: 1 and 2, respectively, up to position 513, and various domains (including a bacteriophage T4 fibritin foldon trimerisation domain) and linkers from position 514 onwards in place of inter alia, a transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tail. SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 and 4, and any wild-type RSV-F sequence (e.g. RSV-F proteins of other A or B subtype strains), are referred to herein as “wild-type”. SEQ ID NO: 5 and 6 may also be referred to as a “wild type cytoplasmic tail”. RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may comprise mutations relative to SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 or 4 found in RSV-F proteins from further strains and subtypes, both naturally-occurring and engineered (e.g. RSV-F proteins of further A subtype strains, or further B subtype strains). Hence, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may be of the RSV A or the RSV B
Docket No.: 70348WO01 subtype. RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may also have a specific degree of sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 or 4, e.g. as detailed in the embodiments below. Where not otherwise specified, residue positions as defined throughout the present disclosure are numbered according to SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 or 4, which will generally correspond to the residue numbering of the RSV-F protein of the present disclosure. For RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure comprising linker sequences joining their F1 and F2 domains (e.g. F651 a.k.a R715; SEQ ID NO: 32 / 73), residue numbering of the F1 domain will diverge from SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 or 4. However, for ease of reference, substitutions in such RSV-F proteins relative to wild-type (e.g.486C, and so forth) are numbered according to SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 or 4. References to a sequence / region of an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure “corresponding to positions x-y” of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 or 4 encompasses sequences / regions which align with positions x-y of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 or 4 (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes positions x and y). However, in preferred embodiments, the mutations as defined throughout the present disclosure are introduced within positions x-y of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 or 4 (again, including positions x and y). Alignments may be performed visually, or by any well-known algorithm; e.g. using an NCBI BLAST algorithm, e.g. “blastp”, e.g. on default settings (available at https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?PAGE=Proteins), or e.g. using the “Clustal Omega” algorithm (see, e.g. [11]), e.g. on default settings; with the Clustal Omega algorithm being preferred. Corresponding residue positions (e.g. position 486 and so forth of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 or 4) are easily identifiable to the skilled person, and can be identified by aligning the amino acid sequences using any well-known method (visual or algorithm, e.g. as detailed above). As used herein, “heptad repeat A” (“HRA”) domain refers to positions 149-206 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 or 4 and “heptad repeat C” (“HRC”) domain refers to positions 53-100 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 or 4. As used herein, “Heptad repeat B” (“HRB”) domain refers to positions 474-523 of SEQ ID NO: 1 and 3, and positions 474-513 of SEQ ID NO: 2 and 4. RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure are preferably antigens (or, phrased differently, are antigenic). As such, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure preferably elicit an immune response when administered in vivo, namely against RSV. The immune response may comprise an antibody response (usually including IgG) and/or a cell-mediated immune response, in particular an antibody response. The immune response will typically recognise the three-dimensional structure of the corresponding wild-type pre-fusion RSV-F, in particular one or more epitopes present on the (solvent-exposed) surface of the protein when in the pre-fusion conformation. Generally, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure elicit a pre-fusion RSV-F-specific antibody response in vivo, e.g. an IgG antibody response (see, e.g. Examples 6, 11 and 14).
Docket No.: 70348WO01 Generally, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure elicit a neutralising antibody response against RSV (RSV A or B) in vivo, e.g. against RSV A (see, e.g. Examples 6, 11, 14, 15 and 16). Said neutralising antibody response may inhibit replication of RSV (such as RSV A or B) in the respiratory system of a subject, such as in the lungs. Said neutralising antibody response may yield protective immunity against RSV (RSV A or B) in a subject, e.g. against RSV A. Generally, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure elicit a cross-neutralising antibody response against RSV in vivo, e.g. against strains of both RSV A and B subtypes (see, e.g. Examples 6, 15 and 16). Said cross-neutralising antibody response may yield protective immunity against strains of both RSV A and B subtypes in a subject. RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may also be considered antigens (or, phrased differently, are antigenic) given their ability to be bound by antibodies AM14, D25, RSB1 and motavizumab (in particular AM14, D25 and RSB1, in particular AM14), e.g. with a dissociation constant (KD), as measured by SPR, of less than 10 nM, such as 1 pM – 10 nM, e.g. as detailed in the subsection below. The incorporation of both naturally and non-naturally occurring amino acids is envisaged in RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure, although naturally occurring amino acids are preferred. Pre-fusion conformation RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure are generally in the pre-fusion conformation (e.g. following expression from nucleic acids), and may generally be considered as stabilised in the pre-fusion conformation. The pre-fusion conformation of RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may be confirmed via binding of pre-fusion RSV-F-specific monoclonal antibodies (“pre-fusion mAbs”). For example, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may be specifically bound by a pre-fusion mAb comprising a light chain and a heavy chain (LC and HC) selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID NO: 7 and 8 respectively, SEQ ID NO: 9 and 10 respectively, and SEQ ID NO: 11 and 12 respectively. The foregoing are the LC and HC sequences of prefusion mAbs AM14, D25, and RSB1, respectively; see, e.g. [12, 13, 14]. Specific binding of the pre-fusion mAb(s) (or lack thereof) may be determined via surface plasmon resonance (“SPR”) or biolayer interferometry (“BLI”), however SPR is preferred. SPR may be performed using a BIACORE system; preferably as performed in the Examples (see subsection Binding kinetics using BIACORE). Generally, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may be specifically bound by any of the pre-fusion mAbs above with a dissociation constant (K
D), as measured by SPR, of less than 10 nM, such as 1 pM – 10 nM; in particular less than 2 nM (2000 pM), such as 1- 2000 pM. For determining pre-fusion conformation via antibody binding, AM14 is preferred. Unlike the other pre-fusion mAbs, AM14 is specific for RSV-F in the pre-fusion conformation when in an intact trimer.
Docket No.: 70348WO01 In particular embodiments, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may be specifically bound by a pre-fusion mAb comprising a LC and HC according to SEQ ID NO: 7 and 8 respectively (or, defined differently, antibody AM14), with a K

By way of example, RSV-F proteins according to present disclosure designated F528, F647, F651 are specifically bound by such a mAb with K
Ds, as measured via SPR, of 37.8, 309.5 and 18.9 pM respectively (see, e.g. Example 2, Table 5).

In the foregoing embodiments in this paragraph, the RSV-F proteins of the disclosure are generally assembled in trimeric form, as a homotrimer. In particular embodiments, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may be specifically bound by a pre-fusion mAb comprising a LC and HC according SEQ ID NO: 9 and 10 respectively (or, defined differently, antibody D25), with a K

By way of example, RSV-F proteins according to present disclosure designated F528, F647, F651 are specifically bound by such a mAb with K
Ds, as measured via SPR, of 1840.4, 66.3 and 64.4 pM respectively (see, e.g. Example 2, Table 5).

In particular embodiments, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may be specifically bound by a pre-fusion mAb comprising a LC and HC according to SEQ ID NO: 11 and 12 (or, defined differently, antibody RSB1) respectively with a KD, as measured via SPR, of: less than 1000, 500, 450, 400, 350, 300, 250, 200 or 190 pM; or, in some embodiments, less than 180, 170, 160, 150, 140, 130 or 125 pM; or, in some embodiments, less than 120, 100, 90, 80, 70 or 65 pM.

Docket No.: 70348WO01 wherein the K
D is measured via SPR. In particular, the RSV-F protein of the present disclosure meets 2, or preferably all 3 of criteria (iv), (v) and (vi). By way of example, protein F647 meets all of said criteria (see, e.g. Example 2, Table 5). In an embodiment, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure are specifically bound by: (vii) a pre-fusion mAb comprising a LC and HC according to SEQ ID NO: 7 and 8 respectively (or, defined differently, antibody AM14), with a KD of less than 50, 40, 35, 30, 25 or 20 pM (such as 1-50, 1-40, 1-35, 1-30, 1-25 or 1-20 pM); (viii) a pre-fusion mAb comprising a LC and HC according to SEQ ID NO: 9 and 10 respectively (or, defined differently, antibody D25), with a K
D of less than 100, 90, 80, 75, 70 or 65 pM (such as 1-100, 1-90, 1-80, 1-75, 1-70 or 1-65 pM); and/or (ix) a pre-fusion mAb comprising a LC and HC according to SEQ ID NO: 11 and 12 respectively (or, defined differently, antibody RSB1), with a KD of less than 120, 100, 90, 80, 70 or 65 pM (such as 1-120, 1-100, 1-90, 1-80, 1-70 or 1-65 pM); wherein the KD is measured via SPR. In particular, the RSV-F protein of the present disclosure meets 2, or preferably all 3 of criteria (vii), (viii) and (ix). By way of example, protein F651 meets all of said criteria (see, e.g. Example 2, Table 5). Generally, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may be bound by a pre-fusion mAb (in particular, any of those defined above) over a time of, for example, at least: 24 hours, 1 week, 2 week, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks or 6 weeks, 7 weeks or 8 weeks; for example wherein the RSV-F protein is stored at 4° or 25°C in a buffer for said period(s) and then assayed to determine the presence or absence of specific binding of a pre-fusion mAb (in particular AM14 or D25), or an antigen binding fragment thereof (e.g. a Fab fragment thereof). Said binding over time may be determined via, for example, SPR or BLI. The buffer may be HEPES buffer, e.g. 20mM HEPES comprising 150mM NaCl. Thermostability (e.g. using Nano-DSF, e.g. as performed in the Examples) may also be assessed. Aggregation of the protein may also be assessed (e.g. via high-performance liquid chromatography (“HPLC”), e.g. as performed in the Examples). In an alternative, also preferred, method to mAb binding, the pre-fusion conformation of RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may be confirmed via cryo-electron microscopy single particle analysis (“cryo-EM” – see e.g. Example 3, Figures 14 and 15), preferably when the protein is complexed with an antigen binding fragment of a pre-fusion mAb. Preferably, such cryo-EM comprises the steps: complexing the RSV-F protein of the present disclosure with an antigen binding fragment, such as a Fab fragment, of a pre-fusion mAb (preferably of AM14 or RSB1, preferably a Fab fragment of AM14 or RSB1) to form complexes;
Docket No.: 70348WO01 isolating (e.g. via gel filtration) and concentrating said complexes; depositing said complexes onto an electron microscopy grid, and vitrifying the complexes and grid (e.g. via plunge freezing into liquid ethane); imaging via electron microscopy; and solving the structure of said complexes via single particle analysis. More preferably, such cryo-EM is performed as in the Examples (see Example 3 and associated Materials and Methods). Disulphide bond RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure comprise (according to the first, second and third independent aspects) a disulphide bond formed between two, generally non-naturally occurring, C residues. According to the first independent aspect of the present disclosure, a pair of C residues is introduced into the region of the RSV-F protein corresponding to positions 474-523 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3 (a.k.a. the HRB domain) which form a disulphide bond. Preferably, this is an intra-protomer disulphide bond (i.e. linking two C residues within the same protomer). The presence of an intra-protomer disulphide bond may be confirmed via e.g. (i) cryo-EM (e.g. using the method set out in the preceding subsection, in particular as performed in Example 3), or (ii) X-ray crystallography (e.g. performed in accordance with the method in [15]). The pair of C residues may be within the region corresponding to positions 474-513 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. For example, when in recombinant protein form, position 513 is the typical C-terminal residue of the HRB domain, prior to, typically, a linker sequence connecting the HRB domain to a trimerisation domain (e.g. a bacteriophage T4 fibritin foldon trimerisation domain, e.g. according to SEQ ID NO: 19) and other sequences as needed. In some embodiments, a first C residue of said pair may be within a region of the RSV-F protein corresponding to positions 478-501 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3, and/or (optionally and) a second C residue of said pair may be within a region corresponding to positions 482-504 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. Examples of such C residue pairs include those at positions: 486 and 490, 485 and 494, 480 and 497, 490 and 494, 479 and 482, 484 and 498, 487 and 490, 491 and 494, 482 and 502, 478 and 483, 481 and 501, 482 and 499, 486 and 489, 486 and 488, 485 and 494, 480 and 487, or 501 and 504 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. C residues in these positions were (i) computationally predicted to form intra-protomer disulphide bonds, based on a distance criterion of 5Å between Cβ atoms in the RSV-F pre-fusion conformation (see e.g. Example 5); and/or (ii) are present in designs F526, F527 and F528 (see e.g. Example 1) . In some embodiments, a first C residue of said pair may be within a region of the RSV-F protein corresponding to positions 478-491 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3, and/or (optionally and) a second C residue of said pair may be within a region corresponding to positions 482-502 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. Examples of such C residue pairs include those at positions: 486 and 490, 485 and 494, 480 and 497,
Docket No.: 70348WO01 490 and 494, 479 and 482, 484 and 498, 487 and 490, 491 and 494, 482 and 502, or 478 and 483 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. C residues in these positions were (i) computationally predicted to form intra- protomer disulphide bonds, based on a distance criterion of 5Å between Cβ atoms in the RSV-F pre- fusion conformation and (ii) stabilise said conformation (see e.g. Example 5); and/or are present in designs F526, F527 and F528 (see e.g. Example 1) . In particular embodiments, a first C residue of said pair is within a region of the RSV-F protein corresponding to positions 480-486 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3, and/or (optionally and) a second C residue of said pair is within a region corresponding to positions 490-497 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. Examples of such C residue pairs include those at positions: 486 and 490, 485 and 494, or 480 and 497 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. As detailed in e.g. Example 1 (see, e.g. Figures 1 and 2), designs F526, F527 and F528 demonstrated higher expression levels and pre-fusion mAb binding compared to other non-control constructs comprising engineered disulphide bonds (see Table 3). Preferably, the pair of C residues is at positions 486 and 490 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. In Example 1, design F528 (486:490 disulphide bond) demonstrated the highest expression level of all constructs tested (both control and non-control), and comparable or greater prefusion mAb binding than controls DS-Cav1, F(i) and F(ii). The 486:490 disulphide bond was confirmed to be intra-protomer by cryo-EM in Example 3. According to the second independent aspect of the present disclosure, the RSV-F protein comprises a C residue at position 486 and a C residue at position 490, which form a disulphide bond. Said residue numbering will typically correspond to that of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. Preferably, this disulphide bond is an intra-protomer disulphide bond, the presence of which may be confirmed using the methods detailed above in relation to the first independent aspect of the present disclosure. Generally, the substitutions for/insertions of C residues (and the resulting disulphide bond) detailed throughout this subsection may inhibit, at least partly inhibit, or completely inhibit, the transition from pre-fusion to post-fusion conformation of RSV-F. In addition to the substitutions for/insertions of C residues, and the resulting disulphide bond detailed throughout this subsection, preferably, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure do not comprise a deletion of position 137. Such RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure preferably comprises neither (i) a deletion of the fusion peptide (in whole), nor (ii) substitution of the fusion peptide (in whole) for a linker sequence e.g. GSGSG (SEQ ID NO: 16), GSGSGRS (SEQ ID NO: 17), or GS (SEQ ID NO: 18). Such RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure preferably comprise (i) a deletion of p27 (in whole) and the fusion peptide (in whole), nor (ii) substitution of p27 (in whole) and the fusion peptide (in whole) for a linker sequence e.g. GSGSG (SEQ ID NO: 16), GSGSGRS (SEQ ID NO: 17), or GS (SEQ ID NO: 18). Such RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure preferably comprise: (a) an aromatic residue at position 137 (such as F, W, Y or H; optionally F, W or Y; optionally F); (b) an aromatic residue at position 488 (such as F, W, Y or H; optionally F, W or Y; optionally F); and/or (c) a positively charged residue at position 339 (such as K, R or H, optionally K or R, optionally K); and
Docket No.: 70348WO01 preferably all of (a), (b) and (c). Such RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure preferably comprise a pi-pi stacking interaction between (a) and (b), and preferably comprise a pi-pi-cation stacking interaction between (a), (b) and (c). In such RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure, the (preferably intra-protomer) disulphide bond is preferably formed by a C residue at position 486 and a C residue at position 490 (as per preferred embodiments of the first independent aspect of the present disclosure, or as per the second independent aspect of the present disclosure). As detailed in e.g. Example 12, cryo-EM analysis of design F647 demonstrated that the 486:490 disulphide bond repositions the side chain of wild-type aromatic residue F488 to introduce a pi-pi stacking interaction with wild-type residue aromatic F137 in the fusion peptide (see, e.g. Figures 36 A and D). This additional interaction (over wild-type) resulted in a cation-pi-pi trio-stacking interaction between residues K339, F137 and F488, which further restricts movement of the fusion peptide, thereby helping to stabilise the pre-fusion conformation of RSV-F (see, e.g. Figures 36C and D). For the avoidance of doubt, features detailed in this paragraph are not applicable to RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure comprising linker sequences joining their F1 and F2 domains (e.g. F651 a.k.a R715; SEQ ID NO: 32 / 73). Deletions and residue positioned identified in this paragraph are relative to and numbered according to SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 or 4, which will generally correspond to the residue numbering of the RSV-F protein of the present disclosure. As exemplified in e.g. Example 3 (Figures 14-15), when in trimeric form (according to the third independent aspect of the present disclosure), RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may comprise an electrostatic repulsive ring comprising three negatively residues, each of which is in the HRB domain of an RSV-F protein in the trimer. The negatively charged residues are typically at position 487 of each of the RVF-proteins, and may be E or D residues, typically E residues. As a result of the disulphide bond in RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure, the distances between each of the negatively-charged residues in the trimer may be increased relative to such distances in a trimer comprising three RSV-F proteins comprising or consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3 or 4 (i.e. wild-type trimers), as exemplified in e.g. Example 3, Figure 15. In RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure, such distances may be at least 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.2 or 7.4 Å (or e.g. 5.0-8.0 Å, such as 6.0-8.0, 6.5-7.5 or 7.0-7.5 Å). Such distances may be assessed e.g. using cryo-EM, (e.g. using the method set out in the preceding subsection, in particular as performed in Example 3). In wild type, such distances are generally lower, such as 4.3 Å (see e.g. Figure 15 D). The resulting reduction in electrostatic repulsive forces in RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure (relative to wild-type) inhibits, at least partly inhibits, or completely inhibits, the transition from pre-fusion to post-fusion conformation of RSV-F In addition to the substitutions for/insertions of C residues, and the resulting disulphide bond, detailed throughout this subsection, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure preferably comprise one or more further mutations (relative to wild type, e.g. SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3), such as at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 further mutations. Generally, the one or more further mutations are, or comprise, one or more
Docket No.: 70348WO01 substitutions (relative to wild type, e.g. SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3), such as at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 further substitutions. Generally, the one or more further mutations / substitutions stabilise and/or promote the pre-fusion conformation of RSV-F. In some embodiments, the one or more mutations are, or comprise, the substitutions 103C, 148C and 190I, or 103C, 148C, 190I and 486S (optionally numbered according to SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3). In some embodiments, the one or more mutations are, or comprise, the substitutions 67I and 215P (optionally numbered according to SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3). In some embodiments, the one or more mutations are, or comprise, the substitutions 66E, 67I, 76V, 215P and 486G (optionally numbered according to SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3). In some embodiments, the one or more mutations are, or comprise, the substitutions 149C, 155C, 190F, 207L, 290C and 458C (optionally numbered according to SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3), optionally with a linker sequence joining the F2 and F1 domains of the RSV-F protein (e.g. GS / SEQ ID NO: 18). In some embodiments, the one or more mutations are, or comprise, the substitutions 102A, 149C, 155C, 190F, 207L, 290C, 373R, 379V, 447V and 458C (optionally numbered according to SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3), optionally with a linker sequence joining the F2 and F1 domains of the RSV-F protein (e.g. GS / SEQ ID NO: 18). In some embodiments, the one or more mutations are, or comprise, the substitutions 155C, 190F, 207L and 290C (optionally numbered according to SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3). Preferably, the one or more mutations are, or comprise, those set out in the following four subsections. Further mutations – positions 228 and/or 232 According to all independent aspects of the present disclosure, in preferred embodiments, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure comprise a substitution at position 228 for K, R or Q (optionally K or R), and/or a substitution at position 232 for N. In preferred embodiments, RSV proteins of the present disclosure comprise a substitution at position 228 for K, R or Q (optionally K or R). In such embodiments, it is more preferred that RSV proteins of the present disclosure comprise a substitution at position 228 for K (e.g. as found in designs such as F217, F528 and F647). In the foregoing embodiments in which position 228 is substituted, preferably position 232 has either the wild-type residue (E),or is substituted for D (also a negatively charged residue). E or D at position 232 may help to provide a tertiary cation-pi-anion interaction discussed below. In the foregoing embodiments in this paragraph, preferably position 250 has either the wild-type residue (Y), or is substituted for D. Such substitutions at position 228 and/or 232 may be the only mutation(s) in the region of the RSV-F protein corresponding to positions 217-239 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3, relative to a corresponding wild- type region, e.g. positions 217-239 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. As detailed in Example 7, a minimal substitution screen revealed the 228K substitution alone to be able to achieve pre-fusion RSV-F (see Figure 26; design F310). Without wishing to be bound by this theory, K at position 228 appears to result in an H bond with Y250 on the same protomer (see Figure 19, dashed line indicating hydrogen bond). Said H bonding may stabilise Y250 to form a tertiary cation-pi-anion interaction between E232, Y250 and R235 (E232 and Y250 being on one protomer, with R235 being on an adjacent protomer). E, Y and R are one of the dominant triads for such a tertiary
Docket No.: 70348WO01 cation-pi-anion interaction (see, e.g. [16]). Furthermore, residues with other H bond donors in their side chains (such as R, Q or N, in particular R) at position 228 may also provide this stabilising H bond with Y250. In addition, based on the proximity and orientation of the E232 side chain (see Figure 19), substitution for N may also provide a stabilising hydrogen bond with Y250. In all foregoing embodiments in this subsection, optionally RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may comprise a substitution at position 250 for D. A 250D substitution may strengthen a cross- protomer interaction with R235 (wild-type residue) by forming a salt bridge between the two residues. For an example of an engineered cross-protomer salt bridge between D and R residues to stabilise a multimeric protein in a pre-fusion conformation, see [17] (Figure 1; D961–R765 salt bridge). Furthermore, D comprises an H bond acceptor moiety and so the Y250D substitution would maintain the preferred hydrogen bond between positions 250 and 228. Generally, the substitutions detailed throughout this subsection may provide core stabilisation in the F1 domain (positions 137-513 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3), proximal to the heptad repeat A (“HRA”) domain and antibody binding site Ø (”site Ø”). Generally, the substitutions detailed throughout this subsection may provide a H bond with Y250, e.g. which stabilises Y250 to provide a tertiary cation-pi-anion interaction between positions (i) 232 (preferably E232, as in wild-type, or D232 if substituted), (ii) Y250 and (ii) R235 across different RSV-F protomers. Such core stabilisation, H bonds and/or tertiary anion-pi-cation interactions may inhibit, at least partly inhibit, or completely inhibit, the transition from pre-fusion to post-fusion conformation of RSV-F. Generally, the substitutions detailed throughout this subsection may inhibit, at least partly inhibit, or completely inhibit, the transition from pre-fusion to post-fusion conformation of RSV-F. Further mutations – position 55 According to all independent aspects of the present disclosure, in preferred embodiments, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure comprise a substitution at position 55 for T, C, V, I or F (optionally T, C or V; optionally T or C). In such embodiments, it is preferred that RSV proteins of the present disclosure comprise a substitution at position 55 for T (e.g. as found in designs such as F217, F528 and F647). Such substitutions at position 55 may be the only mutation(s) in the region of the RSV-F protein corresponding to positions 38-60 of SEQ ID NO:1 or 3 relative to a corresponding wild-type region, e.g. positions 38-60 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. As detailed in Example 7, a minimal substitution screen revealed the S55T substitution to be a likely driver of the pre-fusion conformation (see Figure 26; design F308). Without wishing to be bound by this theory, T in place of S (wild-type) at position 55 provides a slightly larger residue which (from in silico three-dimensional structural analysis, see Figure 20) appears to be accommodated well in the hydrophobic pocket discussed above, without generating significant steric clashes. Moreover, the addition of the CH3 group of T appears to provide new, energetically favourable VDW contacts of the
Docket No.: 70348WO01 type discussed above. Furthermore, alternative substitutions provided for position 55 by ROSETTA software include C and V (based on all amino acids being allowed (no evolutionary constraints) with energy thresholds of 0.0, -0.1 or -0.5 being used). Generally, the substitutions detailed throughout this subsection may stabilise the interface between the F1 domain (positions 137-523 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3) and the heptad repeat A (“HRA”) domain. Such stabilization may inhibit, at least partly inhibit, or completely inhibit, the transition from pre-fusion to post-fusion conformation of RSV-F. Generally, the substitutions detailed throughout this subsection may provide energetically-favourable Van der Waals (VDW) contacts within a hydrophobic pocket of RSV-F, at the interface between the F1 domain and the HRA domain. Such contacts may inhibit, at least partly inhibit, or completely inhibit, the transition from pre-fusion to post-fusion conformation of RSV-F. Generally, the substitutions detailed throughout this subsection may inhibit refolding of the HRA and HRC domains. Such refolding may inhibit, at least partly inhibit, or completely inhibit, the transition from pre-fusion to post-fusion conformation of RSV-F. Generally, the substitutions detailed throughout this subsection may inhibit, at least partly inhibit, or completely inhibit, the transition from pre-fusion to post-fusion conformation of RSV-F. Further mutations – position 215 According to all independent aspects of the present disclosure, in preferred embodiments, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure comprise a substitution at position 215 for A, P, V, I, or F (optionally A or P). In such embodiments, it is preferred that RSV proteins of the present disclosure comprise a substitution at position 215 for A (e.g. as found in designs such as F217, F528 and F647). Such substitutions at position 215 may be the only mutation(s) in the region of the RSV-F protein corresponding to positions 208-216 of SEQ ID NO:1 or 3 relative to a corresponding wild-type region, e.g. positions 38-60 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. In other embodiments, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may comprise a substitution at position 211 and/or (optionally and) position 216 for P (see e.g. designs in Example 2). As detailed in Example 7, a minimal substitution screen revealed the S215A substitution to be a likely driver of the pre-fusion conformation (see Figure 26; design F309). Without wishing to be bound by this theory, removal of the hydrophilic OH group, as S (wild-type) is substituted for A, is likely favourable to the packing and rigidity of the loop (see Figure 21). Furthermore, the A residue at position 215 may provide energetically-favourable VDW contacts with positions 79, 206, 203, and/or T219. Such packing, rigidification and/or VDW contacts may inhibit, at least partly inhibit, or completely inhibit the transition from pre-fusion to post-fusion conformation of RSV-F (in particular, inhibition of the relative motion of the two α helices adjacent to the loop (generally the α4 and α5 helices of RSV-F), or, defined differently, inhibition of refolding of the HRC and HRA domains). Furthermore, the side chains of P, V, I or F may also reduce conformational freedom of the loop, thus also being favourable to the packing and rigidification of the loop.
Docket No.: 70348WO01 Generally, the substitutions detailed throughout this subsection may stabilise or rigidify the loop corresponding to positions 208-216 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. Such stabilisation or rigidification may inhibit, at least partly inhibit, or completely inhibit, the transition of RSV-F from pre-fusion to post- fusion conformation (in particular, by inhibiting the relative motion of the two α helices adjacent to the loop, generally the α4 and α5 helices of RSV-F). Generally, the substitutions detailed throughout this subsection may inhibit, at least partly inhibit, or completely inhibit, the transition of RSV-F from pre-fusion to post-fusion conformation (in particular, by inhibiting of the relative motion of the two α helices adjacent to the loop (generally the α4 and α5 helices of RSV-F), or, defined differently, by inhibiting refolding of the HRC and HRA domains). Combinations of substitutions According to all independent aspects of the present disclosure, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure preferably comprise combinations of substitutions as detailed in the preceding three subsections, such as: a substitution at position 228 for K, R or Q (optionally K or R; wherein substitution for K is preferred); a substitution at position 55 for T, C, V, I (optionally T, C or V; optionally T or V, wherein substitution for T is preferred); and a substitution at position 215 for A, P, V, I, or F (optionally A, V, I, or F; optionally A or P; wherein substitution for A is preferred). In addition, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure preferably comprise further substitutions, such as: a substitution at position 152 for R, L or W (optionally R or W; wherein substitution for R is preferred); a substitution at position 315 for I or V (wherein substitution for I is preferred); a substitution at position 346 for Q, D, H, K, N, R, S or W (optionally Q, D, H, K, N, R or S; wherein substitution for Q is preferred); a substitution at position 445 for D; a substitution at position 455 for V or I (wherein substitution for V is preferred); and/or a substitution at position 459 for M; in particular: a substitution at position 152 for R, L or W (optionally R or W; wherein substitution for R is preferred);
Docket No.: 70348WO01 a substitution at position 315 for I or V (wherein substitution for I is preferred); a substitution at position 346 for Q, D, H, K, N, R, S or W (optionally Q, D, H, K, N, R or S; wherein substitution for Q is preferred); a substitution at position 445 for D; a substitution at position 455 for V or I (wherein substitution for V is preferred); and a substitution at position 459 for M; in particular: a substitution at position 152 for R; a substitution at position 315 for I; a substitution at position 346 for Q; a substitution at position 445 for D; a substitution at position 455 for V; and a substitution at position 459 for M. As such, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may, in preferred embodiments, comprise: a substitution at position 55 for T; a substitution at position 152 for R; a substitution at position 215 for A; a substitution at position 228 for K; a substitution at position 315 for I; a substitution at position 346 for Q; a substitution at position 445 for D; a substitution at position 455 for V; and a substitution at position 459 for M; more preferably: a substitution at position 55 for T; a substitution at position 152 for R; a substitution at position 215 for A;
Docket No.: 70348WO01 a substitution at position 228 for K; a substitution at position 315 for I; a substitution at position 346 for Q; a substitution at position 445 for D; a substitution at position 455 for V; a substitution at position 459 for M; a substitution at position 486 for C; and a substitution at position 490 for C. In some embodiments, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure further comprise a substitution at position 211 for N and/or (optionally and) a substitution at position 348 for N. Generally, further substitutions as detailed throughout this subsection may inhibit, at least partly inhibit, or completely inhibit, the transition from pre-fusion to post-fusion conformation of RSV-F. Melting temperature When in the form of a homotrimer (e.g. according to the third independent aspect of the present disclosure), RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may have a first melting temperature (T
m1) of at least 65.0 °C, such as at least 65.5, 66.0, 66.5, 67.0, 67.5, 68.0, 68.5, 69.0, 69.5, 70.0, 70.5, 71.0, 71.5, 72.0, 72.5, 73.0, 73.5, or 74.0 °C. The T
m1 may be 65.0-80.0°C, such as 70.0-80.0, 70.0-75.0, 71.0- 75.0, 72.0-75.0, 73.0-75.0, 73.0-74.5, 73.5-74.5 or 74.0-74.5 °C. In some embodiments, the Tm1 may be at least, or may be, 65.7°C (see, e.g. Example 2, design F651). In some embodiments, the T
m1 may be at least, or may be, 72.3 °C (see, e.g. Example 2, design F528). In some embodiments, the Tm1 may be at least, or may be, 74.4 °C (see, e.g. Example 2, design F647). When in the form of a homotrimer (e.g. according to the third independent aspect of the present disclosure), RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may have a second melting temperature (T
m2) of at least 78.0 °C, such as at least 78.5, 79.0, 79.5.5, 80.0, 80.5, 81.0, 81.5, 82.0, 82.5, 83.0, or 83.5. The T
m2 may be 78.0-90.0°C, such as 78.0-85.0, 79.0-85.0, 80.0-85.0, 80.0-84.0, 81.0-84.0, 82.0-84.0, 83.0-84.0, or 83.0-83.5 °C. In some embodiments, the Tm2 may be at least, or may be, 80.8 °C; and optionally the T
m1 may be at least, or may be, 65.7°C (see, e.g. Example 2, design F651). In some embodiments, the Tm2 may be at least, or may be, 79.4 °C; and optionally the Tm1 may be at least, or may be, 72.3 °C (see, e.g. Example 2, design F528). In some embodiments, the T
m2 may be at least, or may be, 80.7 °C; and optionally the Tm1 may be at least, or may be, 74.4 °C (see, e.g. Example 2, design F647). The Tm1 and/or Tm2 may be determined via differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF), preferably nanoDSF (e.g. using a PROMETHEUS NT.48 instrument from NANOTEMPER TECHNOLOGIES),
Docket No.: 70348WO01 preferably as determined in the Examples (see Examples 1 and 2, nanoDSF experiments, and associated materials and methods). DSF measures protein unfolding events resulting from increasing temperature by monitoring changes in fluorescence, generally corresponding to the exposure of W or Y residues which were previously buried in the protein structure. With nanoDSF, fluorescence may be measured as the ratio of the recorded emission intensities (Em350 nm/Em330 nm). The T
m1 may be determined by exposing the RSV-F protein trimer to an increasing temperature (e.g. from 25 to 95°C, e.g. at a ramp rate of 1°C/min) and measuring the temperature at which a first peak in fluorescence occurs (see e.g. Figure 22A-C for examples). The Tm2 may be determined by exposing the RSV-F protein trimer to an increasing temperature (e.g. from 25 to 95°C, e.g. at a ramp rate of 1°C/min) and measuring the temperature at which a second peak in fluorescence occurs (see e.g. Figure 22A-C for examples). When assessing the Tm1 and/or Tm2, typically the RSV-F protein comprises trimerisation domain at the C-terminus thereof, and/or C-terminal to the F1 domain (e.g. a bacteriophage T4 fibritin foldon trimerisation domain, e.g. according to SEQ ID NO: 19). The RSV-F protein may comprise a C- terminal domain comprising or consisting of positions 514-596 of SEQ ID NO: 2 or 4. General sequence features of RSV-F proteins in the pre-fusion conformation (protein per se) When considering protein per se (e.g. a mature, furin-processed protein), RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure generally have two domains (in the N-terminal to C-terminal direction, an “F2” domain and an “F1” domain), which may or may not be linked via peptide bonds (although in the wild-type protein they are not so linked; linkage typically occurring through disulphide bonds). RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure may comprise or consist of (i) an F2 domain comprising or consisting of an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity to positions 26-109 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3 (in particular to SEQ ID NO: 1), such as at least 75%, 80%, 81% 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, or preferably at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% sequence identity to positions 26-109 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3 (in particular to SEQ ID NO: 1); and (ii) an F1 domain comprising or consisting of an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity to positions 137-513 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3 (in particular to SEQ ID NO: 1), such as at least 75%, 80%, 81% 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, or preferably at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 99.5% sequence identity to positions 137-513 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3 (in particular to SEQ ID NO: 1). In some embodiments, RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure comprising an E residue at position 66, and a P residue at position 101 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. In preferred embodiments (such as the mature, furin processed protein), a signal peptide is not present in the RSV-F protein of the present disclosure, optionally as a result of signal peptide cleavage, optionally wherein the signal peptide is positions 1-25 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. In preferred embodiments (such as the mature, furin processed protein), a p27 peptide is not present in RSV-F
Docket No.: 70348WO01 proteins of the present disclosure, optionally as a result of furin cleavage, optionally wherein the p27 peptide is positions 110-136 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. In some embodiments, the p27 peptide may still be present as a result of furin cleavage at only one site, e.g. the p27 peptide is linked via a peptide bond to one of the F2 or F1 domains. In embodiments wherein the F2 and F1 domains are linked via peptide bonds (e.g. those of an intervening amino acid sequence), they may be linked by a linker sequence. The linker sequence will join the C and N terminal regions / residues of said F2 and F1 domains. The linker sequence may be glycine-serine rich or consist of G and S residues, for example GSGSG (SEQ ID NO: 16), GSGSGRS (SEQ ID NO: 17), or GS (SEQ ID NO: 18). In one particular embodiment, the F2 and F1 domains may be linked by a linker sequence comprising or consisting of SEQ ID NO: 18. In embodiments wherein the F2 and F1 domains are not linked via peptide bonds, they may be linked by at least one disulphide bond (typically two such bonds, which are typically naturally-occurring, e.g. as in the wild- type protein). RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure (protein per se) generally comprise a heterologous trimerisation domain on the C-terminus thereof (“heterologous” meaning not being native to the viral protein). The trimerisation domain may be positioned C-terminal to the F1 domain. A trimerisation domain is a sequence which promotes assembly of RSV-F proteins of the present disclosure (i.e. individual promoters) into trimers, namely in particular via associations with other trimerisation domains (i.e. those on other protomers). Trimerisation domains may, in some embodiments, fold into a coiled-coil.

Two furin cleavage sites exist between positions 109 and 137 of SEQ ID NO: 1 and 3 (positions 110- 136 of SEQ ID NO: 1 and 3 defining the “p27” peptide). In some embodiments, nucleic acids of the present disclosure encode an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure in which the p27 peptide is artificially absent (i.e. there is an artificial deletion of the p27 peptide, e.g. through recombinant means, at the level of the encoding nucleic acid). In such embodiments, the fusion peptide (positions 137-157 of SEQ ID NO: 1 and 3) may also be artificially absent. In some embodiments, the p27 peptide (and, optionally, also the fusion peptide) may be replaced by a linker sequence encoded by the nucleic acid. The linker sequence may be glycine-serine rich or consist of G and S residues, for example GSGSG (SEQ ID NO: 16), GSGSGRS (SEQ ID NO: 17), or GS (SEQ ID NO: 18). In one particular embodiment, the F2 and F1 domains may be linked by a linker sequence comprising or consisting of SEQ ID NO: 18.

Nucleic acids of the present disclosure may encode an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure having at least 70% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, such as at least 75%, 80%, 81% 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, or preferably at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%, 99.4%, or 99.5% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1 over 100% of SEQ ID NO 1. Nucleic acids of the present disclosure may encode an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure having at least 70% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 3, such as at least 75%, 80%, 81% 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, or preferably at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%, 99.4%, or 99.5% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 3 over 100% of SEQ ID NO 3. Nucleic acids of the present disclosure preferably encode an RSV-F protein comprising a transmembrane domain, and, optionally, C-terminal to said transmembrane domain, a cytoplasmic tail.
Docket No.: 70348WO01 In some embodiments, a cytoplasmic tail is absent in whole. Preferably, a transmembrane domain comprises or consists of an amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 21 (or a sequence at least 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95% identical thereto). Preferably, a cytoplasmic tail, if present, comprises or consists of an amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 5 or 6 (or a sequence at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% or 95% identical thereto). Nucleic acids encoding RSV-F proteins comprising cytoplasmic tail deletions The cell-surface expression of trimeric, pre-fusion RSV-F protein, when expressed from nucleic acids in vitro, has been enhanced through the deletion of residues (e.g.20 residues) from the C-terminal end of the cytoplasmic tail (see e.g. Example 4). In addition, surprisingly, deletion of 15, 16, 17 and 20 C- terminal residues resulted in higher trimeric pre-fusion RSV-F expression at 72 and 96 hours post- transfection, compared to the deletion of 21 C-terminal residues (see e.g. Example 9; Figure 28A). Furthermore, in vivo, deletion of 20 C-terminal residues from an RNA-delivered RSV-F protein of the present disclosure enhanced titres of neutralising antibodies elicited against RSV strains of both the A and B subtypes (see, e.g. Example 6; comparing constructs “647” and “647 ΔCT20”; Figures 23A and B). Neutralising antibody titres generally correlate with inhibition of viral replication in the lungs and other respiratory sites, and thus protective efficacy in a subject. Hence, without wishing to be bound by theory, the cytoplasmic tail deletions disclosed herein may allow for protective efficacy against RSV to be achieved at lower doses of a nucleic acid-based vaccine, leading to further possible benefits, e.g. reduced reactogenicity. In embodiments in which RSV-F proteins comprise cytoplasmic tail deletions, an RSV-F protein having a “cytoplasmic tail” refers to the presence of residues (e.g. 5 residues) that are C-terminal to the residue which aligns with position 549 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3 (Y), when the F1 and transmembrane domains of the RSV-F protein is aligned with positions 137-549 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. Accordingly, the cytoplasmic tail is positioned C-terminal to the transmembrane domain. Preferably, an RSV-F protein having a “cytoplasmic tail” refers to the presence of residues (e.g. 5 residues) that are C- terminal to position 549 of the RSV-F protein. Reference to e.g. deletion of 2-20 residues (and the like) from the C-terminal end of the CT (relative to SEQ ID NO: 5 or 6) refers to deletion of at least the two, and no more than the 20, most C-terminal residues from the CT. That is, at least the deletion of C- terminal residues SN or SK relative to SEQ ID NO: 5 or 6 respectively, and no more than the deletion of C-terminal residues TPVTLSKDQLSGINNIAFSN or TPVTLSKDQLSGINNIAFSK relative to SEQ ID NO: 5 or 6 respectively. In some embodiments, nucleic acids of the present disclosure encode an RSV-F protein comprising a cytoplasmic tail; wherein, relative to a cytoplasmic tail according to SEQ ID NO: 5 or SEQ ID NO: 6, 2-23 residues are deleted from the C-terminal end of the cytoplasmic tail of the RSV-F protein. In some embodiments, 2-22, 2-21, 2-20 or 3-20 residues are deleted from said C-terminal end. In some embodiments, at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 or at least 19 residues are deleted from said C-terminal end. In some embodiments, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
Docket No.: 70348WO01 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20 residues are deleted from said C-terminal end. In some embodiments, 2-5, 3-5, 6- 20, 7-20, 8-20, 9-20, 10-20, 11-20, 12-20, 13-20, 14-20, 15-20 or 16-20 residues are deleted from said C-terminal end. In some embodiments, 2-5, such as 2-4, 2-3, 3-4 or 3 residues are deleted from the C-terminal end of the CT of the RSV-F protein (relative to a wild-type cytoplasmic tail according to SEQ ID NO: 5 or 6). In some embodiments, the cytoplasmic tail comprises or consists of (i) an amino acid sequence according to positions 1-22 of SEQ ID NO: 5, or (ii) an amino acid sequence at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% or 95% identical to said positions and optionally the same length as said positions; and wherein the cytoplasmic tail does not comprise any residues C-terminal to the amino acid sequence of (i) or (ii) (meaning, the RSV-F protein sequence ends with the amino acid sequence of (i) or (ii)). In other embodiments, the cytoplasmic tail comprises or consists of (i) an amino acid sequence according to positions 1-22 of SEQ ID NO: 6, or (ii) an amino acid sequence at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% or 95% identical to said positions and optionally the same length as said positions; and wherein the cytoplasmic tail does not comprise any residues C-terminal to the amino acid sequence of (i) or (ii). In other embodiments, the cytoplasmic tail comprises or consists of (i) an amino acid sequence according to positions 1-20 of SEQ ID NO: 5, or (ii) an amino acid sequence at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% or 95% identical to said positions and optionally the same length as said positions; and wherein the cytoplasmic tail does not comprise any residues C- terminal to the amino acid sequence of (i) or (ii). In other embodiments, the cytoplasmic tail comprises or consists of (i) an amino acid sequence according to positions 1-20 of SEQ ID NO: 6, or (ii) an amino acid sequence at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% or 95% identical to said positions and optionally the same length as said positions; and wherein the cytoplasmic tail does not comprise any residues C-terminal to the amino acid sequence of (i) or (ii). In some embodiments, 6-13, such as 7-13, 8-12, 9-11, 9-10, 10-11 or 10 residues are deleted from the C-terminal end of the CT of the RSV-F protein (relative to a wild-type cytoplasmic tail according SEQ ID NO: 5 or 6). In some embodiments, the cytoplasmic tail comprises or consists of (i) an amino acid sequence according to positions 1-15 of SEQ ID NO: 5, or (ii) an amino acid sequence at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% or 95% identical to said positions and optionally the same length as said positions; and wherein the cytoplasmic tail does not comprise any residues C-terminal to the amino acid sequence of (i) or (ii). In other embodiments, the cytoplasmic tail comprises or consists of (i) an amino acid sequence according to positions 1-15 of SEQ ID NO: 6, or (ii) an amino acid sequence at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% or 95% identical to said positions and optionally the same length as said positions; and wherein the cytoplasmic tail does not comprise any residues C- terminal to the amino acid sequence of (i) or (ii). In some embodiments, 14-16, such as 14-15, 15-16 or 15 residues are deleted from the C-terminal end of the CT of the RSV-F protein (relative to a wild-type cytoplasmic tail according SEQ ID NO: 5 or 6). In some embodiments, the cytoplasmic tail comprises or consists of (i) an amino acid sequence
Docket No.: 70348WO01 according to positions 1-10 of SEQ ID NO: 5, or (ii) an amino acid sequence at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% or 95% identical to said positions and optionally the same length as said positions; and wherein the cytoplasmic tail does not comprise any residues C-terminal to the amino acid sequence of (i) or (ii). In other embodiments, the cytoplasmic tail comprises or consists of (i) an amino acid sequence according to positions 1-10 of SEQ ID NO: 6, or (ii) an amino acid sequence at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% or 95% identical to said positions and optionally the same length as said positions; and wherein the cytoplasmic tail does not comprise any residues C- terminal to the amino acid sequence of (i) or (ii). In preferred embodiments, 16-20, such as 17-20, 18-20 or 19-20, and preferably 20, residues are deleted from the C-terminal end of the CT of the RSV-F protein (relative to a wild-type cytoplasmic tail according SEQ ID NO: 5 or 6). See, e.g. effects of such deletions in Examples 4, 6 and 9 (summarised above). In preferred embodiments, the cytoplasmic tail comprises or consists of (i) an amino acid sequence according to positions 1-5 of SEQ ID NO: 5, or (ii) an amino acid sequence at least 60% or 80% identical to said positions and optionally the same length as said positions; and wherein the cytoplasmic tail does not comprise any residues C-terminal to the amino acid sequence of (i) or (ii). In ither preferred embodiments, the cytoplasmic tail comprises or consists of (i) an amino acid sequence according to positions 1-5 of SEQ ID NO: 6, or (ii) an amino acid sequence at least 60% or 80% identical to said positions and optionally the same length as said positions; and wherein the cytoplasmic tail does not comprise any residues C-terminal to the amino acid sequence of (i) or (ii). Generally, the deletions outlined above increase the cell-surface expression of RSV-F protein from nucleic acids (e.g. RNA), relative to an RSV-F protein having the same amino acid sequence absent deletions, e.g. comprising a wild-type cytoplasmic tail, e.g. according to SEQ ID NO: 5 or 6 (e.g. over at least 24, 48, 72 or 96 hours; or e.g. over 24, 48, 72 or 96 hours). Generally, the deletions outlined above increase the cell-surface expression of RSV-F protein in trimeric, pre-fusion form from nucleic acids (e.g. RNA), relative to expression in such form of an RSV-F protein having the same amino acid sequence absent such deletions, e.g. comprising a wild-type cytoplasmic tail, e.g. according to SEQ ID NO: 5 or 6 (e.g. over at least 24, 48, 72 or 96 hours; or e.g. over 24, 48, 72 or 96 hours). When determining the effect of cytoplasmic tail deletions, trimeric, pre-fusion RSV-F expression is typically assessed using AM14 antibody binding (or defined differently, using binding of an antibody comprising a light chain (LC) according to SEQ ID NO: 7 and a heavy chain (HC) according SEQ ID NO: 8). AM14 antibody binding may be assayed using indirect immunofluorescent labelling, e.g. using the protocol in the examples (see subsection “Indirect immunofluorescent labelling and detection of surface-expressed RSV F”). Cell-surface expression may be assessed in fibroblasts, preferably human fibroblasts, preferably human foreskin fibroblasts, preferably human primary BJ cells, preferably the CRL-2522 cell line (deposited at American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) under said accession number and publicly available).
Docket No.: 70348WO01 General features of nucleic acids The nucleic acid of the present disclosure may be DNA or RNA (including hybrids thereof), preferably RNA. DNA and RNA analogues, such as those containing modified backbones (e.g. peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) or phosphorothioates) or modified bases, are within the scope of the present disclosure. The nucleic acid may be linear, circular and/or branched, but will generally be linear. Typically, the nucleic acid will be in recombinant form, i.e. a form which does not occur in nature. The nucleic acid may be for the expression of an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure in vitro from a host cell (i.e. the nucleic acid is, or is part of, an expression vector). Suitable nucleic acid expression vectors (in particular, DNA expression vectors) can comprise, for example, (1) an origin of replication; (2) a selectable marker gene; (3) one or more expression control elements, such as a transcriptional control element (e.g., a promoter, an enhancer, or a terminator), and/or one or more translation signals; and (4) a signal sequence or leader sequence for targeting to the secretory pathway in a selected host cell (e.g. those as detailed in the section entitled Preparing RSV-F proteins, above). In a preferred alternative embodiment, the nucleic acid is for the expression of an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure in vivo in a subject (i.e. the nucleic acid is, or is part of, a nucleic acid-based vaccine). In such preferred embodiments, in addition to a sequence encoding the RSV-F protein of the present disclosure, the nucleic acid may comprise one or more heterologous sequences, such as a sequence encoding a further protein (e.g. as detailed below) and/or a control sequence, in particular a promoter or an internal ribosome entry site. Nucleic acids of the present disclosure may be codon optimised. In some embodiments, nucleic acids of the present disclosure may be codon optimised for expression in human cells. Codon optimisation refers to the use of specific codons, which, while not altering the sequence of the expressed protein (given genetic code redundancy), may increase translation efficacy and/or half- life of the nucleic acid. Embodiments of codon optimised RNA are discussed in more detail in the subsection entitled RNA below. In some embodiments, nucleic acids of the present disclosure are in the form of a viral vector, such as a replicating or replication-deficient viral vector; including both DNA and RNA-based viral vectors. Suitable examples of viral vectors for encoding an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure include, for example: adenovirus vectors, such as replication-deficient or replication-competent adenovirus vectors; pox virus vectors, such as vaccinia virus vectors (e.g. modified vaccinia Ankara virus (MVA), NYVAC, avipox vectors, canarypox (e.g. ALVAC), and fowl pox virus (FPV)); Alphavirus vectors, such as Sindbis virus, Semlike Forest virus (SFV), Ross River virus, Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus, and chimeras derived from Alphavirus vectors such as the foregoing; herpes virus vectors, such as cytomegalovirus (CMV)-derived vectors; arena virus vectors, such as lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) vectors; measles virus vectors; vesicular stomatitis virus vectors; pseudorabies virus vectors; adeno-associated virus vectors; retrovirus vectors; lentivirus vectors; and viral-like particles. In other embodiments, the nucleic acid is in the form of a DNA plasmid. In
Docket No.: 70348WO01 embodiments wherein the nucleic acid of the present disclosure is a viral vector, preferably the viral vector is an adenovirus vector (e.g. Ad26). The nucleic acid (preferably RNA) may encode an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure only (i.e. the nucleic acid encodes a single protein). Alternatively, the nucleic acid may encode multiple proteins, of which one is the RSV-F protein of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the at least one further protein detailed above is a Coronavirus antigen. Useful Coronavirus antigens can be from a SARS coronavirus, in particular SARS-CoV2. Useful Coronavirus antigens (preferably SARS-CoV2 antigens) include the spike, M, E, HE, Nuclocapsid, Plpro and 3CLPro proteins, in particular spike protein. Preferably, the Coronavirus antigen is a SARS- CoV2 spike protein. Said SARS-CoV2 spike protein may be from any variant, e.g. Omicron (such as Omicron BA.1, BA.2, BA3, BA.4 or BA.5), Alpha, Epsilon, Eta, Theta, Kappa, Iota, Zeta, Mu, Lambda, Beta, Gamma, or Delta. Preferably, said SARS-CoV2 spike protein includes one or more mutations relative to the wild-type protein, in particular one or more (e.g. two) mutations to proline resides. Said one or more mutations may be introduced to stabilise said SARS-CoV2 spike protein in its pre-fusion conformation. In a preferred embodiment, the nucleic acid is RNA encoding an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure in addition to a Coronavirus antigen, e.g. as detailed above. In such RNA embodiments, a preferred patient group (in which the RNA may be used in therapy, in particular vaccination) is older adults (see section entitled Medical uses and methods of treatment, below). In some embodiments, the at least one further protein detailed above is an Orthomyxovirus antigen. Useful Orthomyxovirus antigens can be from an influenza A, B or C virus.

A plurality of nucleic acids of the present disclosure is, in particular, provided in purified or substantially purified form; that is, substantially free from other nucleic acids (e.g. free or substantially free from naturally-occurring nucleic acids, such as further nucleic acids expressed by a host cell). Said plurality of nucleic acids is generally at least 50% pure (by weight), such as at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 95% pure (by weight).
Docket No.: 70348WO01 The present disclosure also provides, in a further independent aspect, a vector comprising one or more nucleic acids of the present disclosure. Nucleic acids encoding an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure may be delivered naked, or preferably in conjunction with a carrier (e.g. as detailed in the section entitled Carriers comprising a nucleic acid encoding an RSV-F protein in the prefusion conformation, below). Generally, nucleic acids (preferably RNA) of the present disclosure, and the RSV-F proteins encoded thereby, elicit a pre-fusion RSV-F-specific antibody response in vivo, e.g. an IgG antibody response (see, e.g. Examples 6, 11 and 14). Generally, nucleic acids (preferably RNA) of the present disclosure, and the RSV-F proteins encoded thereby, elicit a neutralising antibody response against RSV (RSV A or B) in vivo, e.g. against RSV A (see, e.g. Examples 6, 11, 14, 15 and 16). Said neutralising antibody response may inhibit replication of RSV (RSV A or B) in the respiratory system of a subject (such as in the lungs). Said neutralising antibody response may yield protective immunity against RSV (such as RSV A or B) in a subject, e.g. against RSV A. Generally, nucleic acids (preferably RNA) of the present disclosure, and the RSV-F proteins encoded thereby, elicit a cross-neutralising antibody response against RSV in vivo, e.g. against strains of both RSV A and B subtypes (see, e.g. Examples 6, 15 and 16). Said cross-neutralising antibody response may yield protective immunity against strains of both RSV A and B subtypes in a subject. RNA In a preferred embodiment, the nucleic acid of the present disclosure (encoding an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure) is RNA. In the context of this section entitled RNA, “RNA” refers to an artificial (or, defined differently, recombinant) ribonucleic acid encoding an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure, which may be translated in a cell (i.e. mRNA). Preferably, the RNA is neither, nor comprised within, a viral vector or virus-based vaccine (such as a live-attenuated virus vaccine). RNA molecules can have various lengths but are typically 500-20,000 ribonucleotides long e.g.1000- 20,000, 1000-15,000, 1000-10,000, 1000-5000, 1000-3000, 1000-2500, 1000-2500 or 1000-2000 ribonucleotides long. The RNA can be non-self-replicating (also referred to as “conventional” RNA), or self-replicating; preferably non-self-replicating. In some embodiments, the RNA is self-replicating. Self-replicating RNA can be produced using replication elements derived from, e.g., alphaviruses, and substituting sequences encoding the structural viral proteins with that encoding at least an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure. A self- replicating RNA molecule is typically a positive-strand molecule which can be directly translated after delivery to a cell, and this translation provides an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase which then produces both antisense and sense transcripts from the delivered RNA. Thus, the delivered RNA leads
Docket No.: 70348WO01 to the production of multiple daughter RNAs. These daughter RNAs, as well as collinear subgenomic transcripts, may be translated themselves to provide in situ expression of the encoded protein (i.e. the RSV-F protein of the present disclosure); or may be transcribed to provide further transcripts with the same sense as the delivered RNA, which are translated to provide in situ expression of the encoded protein. The overall result of this sequence of transcriptions is substantial amplification in the number of the introduced RNAs, and so the encoded RSV-F protein of the present disclosure (potentially in addition to further proteins as detailed above) becomes a major polypeptide product of the cells. In such embodiments wherein the RNA is self-replicating, it may encode (i) an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase which can transcribe RNA from the self-replicating RNA and (ii) an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure. The polymerase can be an alphavirus replicase e.g. comprising one or more of alphavirus proteins nsP1, nsP2, nsP3 and nsP4. Such alphavirus-based self-replicating RNA can use a replicase from, for example, a Sindbis virus, a Semliki forest virus, an eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV), or a Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV). Mutant or wild-type virus sequences can be used e.g. the attenuated TC83 mutant of VEEV has been used for self-replicating RNA (see [18]). Thus, a self-replicating RNA encoding an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure may have two open reading frames. The first (5') open reading frame encodes a replicase, in particular an alphavirus replicase (e.g. as detailed above); the second (3') open reading frame encodes the RSV-F protein of the present disclosure. Further open reading frames may also be present, encoding (i) one or more further proteins (preferably one or more further antigens, e.g. as detailed above); and/or (ii) accessory polypeptides. Generally, the RNA comprises a 5’ cap, such as a 7-methylguanosine (m
7G / m7G), which may be added via enzymatic means or a non-enzymatic reaction. The RNA may have the following exemplary 5’ caps: - a 7-methylguanosine linked 5’-to-5’ to the 5’ first ribonucleotide by a triphosphate bridge (also referred to as “Cap O”); - a 7-methylguanosine linked 5’-to-5’ to the 5’ first ribonucleotide by a triphosphate bridge, and wherein the first 5’ ribonucleotide comprises a 2’-methylated ribose (2’-O-Me) (also referred to as “Cap 1”); - a 7-methylguanosine linked 5’-to-5’ to the 5’ first ribonucleotides by a triphosphate bridge, and wherein the first and second 5’ ribonucleotides comprise a 2’-methylated ribose (2’-O-Me) (also referred to as “Cap 2”); - or a 7-methylguanosine linked 5’-to-5’ to the 5’ first ribonucleotides by a triphosphate bridge, and wherein the first, second and third 5’ ribonucleotides comprise a 2’-methylated ribose (2’- O-Me). In a preferred embodiment, the 5’ cap is a 7-methylguanosine linked 5’-to-5’ to the 5’ first ribonucleoside by a triphosphate bridge, and wherein the first 5’ ribonucleoside comprises a 2’-
Docket No.: 70348WO01 methylated ribose (2’-O-Me), e.g. the 5’ end of the RNA has the structure m7G(5')ppp(5')(2'OMeA)pG. Preferably, this cap is added non-enzymatically through the use of the following reagent:

Said reagent is sold as CLEANCAP Reagent AG (TRILINK BIOTECHNOLOGIES). In other embodiments, a cap may be added resulting in the 5’ end of the RNA having the structure m7(3'OMeG)(5')ppp(5')(2'OMeA)pG. This cap may be added non-enzymatically through the use of the following reagent:

Said reagent is sold as CLEANCAP Reagent AG (3’OMe) (TRILINK BIOTECHNOLOGIES) Generally, the RNA comprises a 3’ poly-adenosine (“poly-A”) tail, e.g. comprising 10-700 A ribonucleotides. The poly-A tail may comprise at least two non-contiguous stretches of A
Docket No.: 70348WO01 ribonucleotides (also referred to as a “split poly-A tail”), or a (in particular, only one) contiguous stretch of A ribonucleotides. The total number of A ribonucleotides (“As”) in at least two non- contiguous stretches may be, for example, 10-700, such as 10-600, 10-500, 20-500, 50-500, 70-500, 100-500, 20-400, 30-300, 40-200, 50-150, 70-120, 100-120, or, in particular, 100-120. The total number of As in a (in particular, only one) contiguous stretch may be, for example, 10-700; such as 10-600, 20-600 or in particular 40-600 (such as 50-600, 80-600, 80-550, 100-500; or 40-70, 50-65 or 55-65). Wherein at least two non-contiguous stretches of As are used, these may be of differing length. For example, a first stretch may be 10-150 As in length, such as 10-100, 10-50, 15-50, 20-50, 20-40, 25-40, or, in particular 25-35 As in length. For example, a second stretch may be 10-150 As in length, such as 10-150, 20-120, 30-100, 40-90, 50-90, 60-90, 65-90, 70-90, or, in particular, 80-90 As in length. The first stretch may be located 5’ or 3’ relative to the second stretch. However, in a particular embodiment, the first stretch is located 5’ relative to the second stretch. In a further particular embodiment, the polyA tail comprises, in the 5’ to 3’ direction, a first and a second non-contiguous stretch of As, that are 25-35 and 80-90 As in length respectively. In a further particular embodiment, the polyA tail comprises, in the 5’-3’ direction, a first and a second non-contiguous stretch of As, that are 25-35 and 65-90 As in length respectively. In a preferred embodiment, the polyA tail comprises, in the 5’-3’ direction, a first and a second non-contiguous stretch of As, that are 25-35 (e.g.28-32, 29- 31, about 30 or 30) and 25-45 (e.g. 25-40, 30-40, 35-40, 35-39, 36-38, about 37 or 37) As in length respectively. In some embodiments, the at least two non-contiguous stretches of As is from, or is part of, the 3’ untranslated region (UTR), e.g. as detailed below. The RNA preferably comprises (in addition to any 5' cap structure) one or more modified ribonucleotides, i.e. ribonucleotides that are modified in structure relative to standard A, C, G or U ribonucleotides. In other embodiments, the RNA does not comprise modified ribonucleotides, i.e. the RNA contains standard A, C, G or U ribonucleotides only (except for any 5’ cap structure, if present, e.g. as detailed above). In preferred embodiments wherein one or more modified ribonucleotides are used, said one or more modified ribonucleotides may be, or may comprise, N1-methylpseudouridine (“1mΨ”); pseudouridine (“Ψ”); N1-ethylpseudouridine; 2-methylthio-N6-(cis- hydroxyisopentenyl)adenosine; 2-methylthio-N6-methyladenosine; 2-methylthio-N6-threonyl carbamoyladenosine; N6-glycinylcarbamoyladenosine; N6-isopentenyladenosine; N6- methyladenosine (m

Docket No.: 70348WO01 In other embodiments, the RNA comprises an ORF comprising or consisting of the ORF from any of SEQ ID NOs: 48, 50, 52, 54, 58, 60, 62, 64, 70, 74, 76, 78, 80, 84, 88, 90 or 92; or an ORF at least 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%, 99.4%, 99.5%, 99.6%, 99.7%, 99.8%, 99.9% or 99.94% identical to the ORF from any of said SEQ ID NOs, optionally encoding an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure comprising the mutations relative to (and numbered according to) SEQ ID NO: 1 present in the protein encoded by the ORF from any of said SEQ ID NOs respectively. See Table 1 in the Examples for mutations (substitutions and deletions where present) in the proteins encoded by said sequences The present disclosure also provides, in a further independent aspect, a DNA construct (preferably a DNA plasmid) encoding an RNA sequence comprising an ORF comprising or consisting of the sequence of: the ORF from any of SEQ ID NOs: 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92 or 104; or any of the foregoing ORFs having identity to the ORFs from said SEQ ID NOs. Nucleic acid (e.g. RNA) alignments may be performed, for example, visually, or by any well-known algorithm; e.g. using an NCBI BLAST algorithm such as “megablast”, e.g. on default settings (available at e.g. https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?PROGRAM=blastn&BLAST_SPEC=GeoBlast&PAGE_TY PE=BlastSearch); or e.g. using the “Muscle” algorithm (see, e.g. [20], [21]), e.g. on default settings; with the Muscle algorithm being preferred. Corresponding nucleotide or ribonucleotide positions are easily identifiable to the skilled person, and can be identified by aligning the nucleotide or ribonucleotide sequences using any well-known method (such as visual or algorithm, e.g. as detailed above). The RNA can conveniently be prepared by in vitro transcription (IVT). IVT can use a (DNA) template created and propagated in plasmid form in bacteria, or created synthetically (for example by gene synthesis and/or polymerase chain-reaction (PCR) engineering methods). For instance, a DNA- dependent RNA polymerase (such as the bacteriophage T7, T3 or SP6 RNA polymerases) can be used to transcribe the replicating RNA from a DNA template. Appropriate capping and poly-A addition reactions can be used as required (although the poly-A tail is usually encoded within the DNA template). Carriers comprising a nucleic acid encoding an RSV-F protein in the prefusion conformation Nucleic acid (especially RNA) by themselves and unprotected, may be degraded by the subject’s nucleases and may require a carrier to facilitate target cell entry. Accordingly, the present disclosure also provides a carrier comprising a nucleic acid (preferably RNA) encoding an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure. The carrier may be lipid-based (e.g. a lipid nanoparticle or cationic nanoemulsion), polymer-based (e.g. comprising polyamines, dendrimers and/or copolymers), peptide or protein-based (e.g. comprising protamine, a cationic cell-penetrating peptide, and/or an anionic peptide conjugated
Docket No.: 70348WO01 to a positively charged polymer), cell-based (e.g. antigen presenting cells, such as dendritic cells loaded with the nucleic acid), or virus-based (e.g. viral replicon particles). In particular embodiments, the carrier is non-virion, i.e. free or substantially free of viral capsid. In particular, lipid-based carriers provide a means to protect the nucleic acid (preferably RNA), e.g. through encapsulation, and deliver it to target cells for protein expression. In some embodiments, the lipid-based carrier is, or comprises, a cationic nano-emulsion (“CNE”). CNEs and methods for their preparation are described in, for example, [22]. With a CNE, the nucleic acid (preferably RNA) which encodes the RSV-F protein of the present disclosure is complexed with a CNE particle, in particular comprising an oil core and a cationic lipid. The cationic lipid can interact with the negatively charged molecule, thereby anchoring the molecule to the emulsion particles. In a particular embodiment, a lipid-based carrier is a lipid inorganic nanoparticle (“LION”). LNPs In a preferred embodiment, nucleic acids (preferably RNA) are encapsulated in a lipid nanoparticle (LNP). Thus, in a preferred embodiment, the present disclosure also provides an LNP encapsulating a nucleic acid (preferably RNA) which encodes an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure. A plurality of such LNPs will be part of a composition (e.g. a pharmaceutical composition as detailed in the section entitled Pharmaceutical compositions below) comprising free and/or encapsulated nucleic acid (preferably RNA), and in some embodiments the LNPs encapsulate at least: 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97.0%, 97.1%, 97.2%, 97.3%, 97.4%, 97.5%, 97.6%, 97.7%, 97.8%, 97.9%, 98.0%, 98.1%, 98.2%, 98.3%, 98.4%, 98.5%, 98.6%, 98.7%, 98.8%, 98.9%, 99.0%, 99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%, 99.4%, 99.5%, 99.6%, 99.7%, 99.8%, 99.9%, or at least 100% of the total number of nucleic acid (preferably RNA) molecules in the composition. At least 80% of the LNPs in the composition may be 20-200 nm, 40-190 nm, 60-180 nm or, in particular, 80-160 nm in diameter. In a particular embodiment, substantially all, or all, LNPs in the composition are 20-200 nm, 40-190 nm, 60-180 nm or, in particular, 80-160 nm in diameter. The LNP can comprise multilamellar vesicles (MLV), small uniflagellar vesicles (SUV), or large unilamellar vesicles (LUV). The amount of nucleic acid (preferably RNA) per LNP can vary, and the number of individual nucleic acid molecules per LNP can depend on the characteristics of the particle being used. For RNA molecules, in general, an LNP may include 1-500 RNA molecules, e.g. <200, <100, <50, <20, <10, <5, or 1-4. Generally, an LNP includes fewer than 10 different species of RNA e.g. fewer than 5, 4, 3, or 2 different species. Preferably the LNP includes a single RNA species (i.e. all RNA molecules in the particle have the same sequence). LNPs according to the present disclosure may be formed from a single lipid (e.g. a cationic lipid) or, in particular, from a mixture of lipids. In particular, the mixture comprises various classes of lipids, such as:
Docket No.: 70348WO01 (a) a mixture of cationic lipids and sterols, (b) a mixture of cationic lipids and neutral lipids, (c) a mixture of cationic lipids and polymer-conjugated lipids, (d) a mixture of cationic lipids, sterols and polymer-conjugated lipids, or (e) a mixture of cationic lipids, neutral lipids and polymer-conjugated lipids; or preferably: (f) a mixture of cationic lipids, sterols and neutral lipids; or more preferably: (g) a mixture of cationic lipids, neutral lipids, sterols and polymer-conjugated lipids. Further classes of lipids, such as anionic lipids, may also be present in a mixture of lipids. The cationic lipid may have a pKa of 5.0-10.0, 5.0-9.0, 5.0-8.5, preferably 5.0-8.0, 5.0-7.9, or 5.0-7.8, 5.0-7.7, or more preferably 5.0-7.6. The pKa of the cationic lipid is distinct to the pKa of the LNP as a whole (sometimes called “apparent pKa”). pKa may be determined via any well-known method, such as via a toluene nitrosulphonic acid (TNS) fluorescence assay or acid base titration; preferably a TNS fluorescence assay; more preferably performed according to Example 10. The cationic lipid preferably comprises a tertiary or quaternary amine group, more preferably a tertiary amine group. Exemplary cationic lipids comprising tertiary amine groups include: 1,2-dilinoleyoxy- 3-(dimethylamino)acetoxypropane (DLin-DAC), 1,2-dilinoleyoxy-3morpholinopropane (DLin-MA), 1,2-dilinoleoyl-3-dimethylaminopropane (DLinDAP), 1,2-dilinoleylthio-3-dimethylaminopropane (DLin-S-DMA), 1-linoleoyl-2-linoleyloxy-3dimethylaminopropane (DLin-2-DMAP), 1,2- dilinoleyloxy-3-trimethylaminopropane chloride salt (DLin-TMA.Cl), 1,2-dilinoleoyl-3- trimethylaminopropane chloride salt (DLin-TAP.Cl), 1,2-dilinoleyloxy-3-(N- methylpiperazino)propane (DLin-MPZ), 3-(N,Ndilinoleylamino)-1,2-propanediol (DLinAP), 3-(N,N- dioleylamino)-1,2-propanediol (DOAP), 1,2-dilinoleyloxo-3-(2-N,N-dimethylamino)ethoxypropane (DLin-EG-DMA), and 2,2-dilinoleyl-4-dimethylaminomethyl[1,3]-dioxolane (DLin-K-DMA), 2,2- dilinoleyl-4-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)[1,3]-dioxolane (DLin-KC2-DMA); dilinoleyl-methyl-4- dimethylaminobutyrate (DLin-MC3-DMA); or MC3 (see, e.g. [23]).

Generally, the subject is a vertebrate, preferably a mammal, more preferably a human or large veterinary mammal (e.g. horses, cattle, deer, goats, pigs), even more preferably a human. The RSV-F proteins, nucleic acids, carriers, or pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure may be for use in the prevention, reduction or treatment of infection or disease. In addition, or alternatively, the RSV-F proteins, nucleic acids, carriers, or pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure may be for use in the prevention, reduction or treatment of symptoms associated with infection or disease. The infection is generally one by, and said disease is generally one associated with, a Pneumoviridae virus. In preferred embodiments, the Pneumoviridae virus is an
Docket No.: 70348WO01 Orthopneumovirus, which is more preferably RSV, and even more preferable human RSV (including both the A and B subtypes thereof). Accordingly, the present disclosure also provides an RSV-F protein, nucleic acid, carrier or pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure; for use in treating of preventing RSV (preferably a method of vaccination against RSV). The present disclosure also provides the use of an RSV-F protein, nucleic acid, carrier or pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure, in the manufacture of a medicament for treating or preventing RSV (preferably wherein the medicament is a vaccine). The present disclosure also provides a method of inducing an immune response against RSV in a subject (preferably a method of vaccinating a subject against RSV), comprising administering to the subject an immunologically effective amount of the RSV-F protein, nucleic acid, carrier or pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure to the subject. Vaccination according to the present disclosure may either be prophylactic (i.e. to prevent infection) or therapeutic (i.e. to treat infection), but will typically be prophylactic. Such methods of vaccination may comprise administration of a single dose. Alternatively, such methods of vaccination may comprise a vaccination regimen (i.e. administration of multiple doses). Such regimens may involve the repeated administration of an immunologically identical protein antigen (in the form of, or delivered via, an RSV-F protein, nucleic acid, carrier, or pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure), in particular in a prime-boost regimen. In a prime-boost regimen, the first administration (“prime”) may induce proliferation and maturation of B and/or T cell precursors specific to one or more immunogenic epitopes present on the delivered antigen (induction phase). The second (and in some cases subsequent) administration (“boost”), may further stimulate and potentially select an anamnestic response of cells elicited by the prior administration(s). The different administrations may be given by the same or different routes e.g. a parenteral prime and mucosal boost, a mucosal prime and parenteral boost, etc. The prime administration(s) and boost administration(s) will be temporally separated, e.g. by at least: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, or more months. In some embodiments, two prime administrations may be administered 3-9 weeks apart (e.g.4-9, 5-9, 6-9, 7-9 or 7-8 weeks apart, or about two months apart), followed by one or more boost administrations 4-14 months after the second prime administration (e.g.5-13, 6-13, 7-13, 8-13, 9-13, 10-13 or 11-13 months, or about one year). In some embodiments, prime administration is to a naïve subject. In some embodiments, the protein antigen may be delivered in the prime and boost administrations as, or via, different formats. For example, the protein antigen may be delivered as a protein for the prime administration(s), and via a nucleic acid (in particular RNA, in particular via a carrier comprising RNA) for the boost administration(s), or vice versa. Alternatively, different nucleic acid formats may be used, e.g. the protein antigen may be delivered via RNA (in particular via a carrier comprising RNA) for the prime administration(s), and a via a viral vector (e.g. an adenoviral vector) for the boost administration(s), or vice versa.
Docket No.: 70348WO01 The RSV-F proteins, nucleic acids, carriers, or pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure will generally be administered directly to the subject. Direct delivery may be accomplished by parenteral injection (e.g. subcutaneously, intraperitoneally, intravenously, intramuscularly, intradermally, or to the interstitial space of a tissue). Alternative delivery routes include rectal, oral (e.g. tablet, spray), buccal, sublingual, vaginal, topical, transdermal or transcutaneous, intranasal, ocular, aural, pulmonary or other mucosal administration. Preferably, the RSV-F proteins, nucleic acids, carriers, or pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure will be administered intramuscularly or intradermally (in particular via a needle such as a hypodermic needle), more preferably intramuscularly. In some embodiments, the subject is administered (i) a first plurality of nucleic acids (preferably RNAs) and/or carriers (preferably lipid nanoparticles) according to the present disclosure, wherein the nucleic acids encode, and/or the carriers comprise nucleic acids encoding, an RSV-F protein of the A subtype; and (ii) a second plurality of nucleic acids (preferably RNAs) and/or carriers (preferably lipid nanoparticles) according to the present disclosure, wherein the nucleic acids encode, and/or the carriers comprise nucleic acids encoding, an RSV-F protein of the B subtype; wherein the first plurality and second plurality are administered simultaneously, separately or sequentially to one another (preferably simultaneously, e.g. in the same composition). In some embodiments, the subject is administered (i) a first plurality of nucleic acids (preferably RNAs) and/or carriers (preferably lipid nanoparticles) according to the present disclosure, wherein the nucleic acids encode, and/or the carriers comprise nucleic acids encoding, an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure of the A subtype; and (ii) a second plurality of nucleic acids (preferably RNAs) and/or carriers (preferably lipid nanoparticles) according to the present disclosure, wherein the nucleic acids encode, and/or the carriers comprise nucleic acids encoding, an RSV-F protein of the present disclosure of the B subtype; wherein the first plurality and second plurality are administered simultaneously, separately or sequentially to one another (preferably simultaneously, e.g. in the same composition). The RSV-F proteins, nucleic acids, carriers, or pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure may be used to elicit systemic and/or mucosal immunity. The subject of a method of vaccination according to the present disclosure may be a child (preferably an infant) or adult (preferably an older adult or pregnant female). Immunocompromised individuals may also be the subject of such vaccination (whether children or adults). Infant vaccination In a preferred embodiment, the RSV-F proteins, nucleic acids, carriers, or pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure are administered to infants (preferably human infants), as the subject of vaccination. The immune systems of infants are immature (see, e.g. [28]), hence this
Docket No.: 70348WO01 population is susceptible to RSV infection and resulting disease. Infant vaccination may prevent lower respiratory tract infection (in particular, bronchiolitis and (broncho-)pneumonia). The infant may be less than one year old, such as less than: 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 or less than 3 months old. The infant may be ≥one month old, such as ≥: 2, 3, 4, 5 or ≥6 months old. Preferably the infant is 2-6 months old (i.e. within and including the ages of 2 and 6 months), more preferably 2-4 months old. In a preferred embodiment, the infant was born from a female to whom an RSV vaccine (such as an RSV-F protein, nucleic acid, carrier, or pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure) was administered, preferably while pregnant with said infant. The combination of maternal and infant vaccination may advantageously provide passive transfer of maternal antibodies (i.e. via the placenta and/or breast milk) to, in addition to active immunity generated by, the infant. Older adult vaccination In another preferred embodiment, the RSV-F proteins, nucleic acids, carriers, or pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure are administered to older adults (preferably human older adults), as the subject of vaccination. Older adults may suffer from age-related immunosenescence (reviewed in, e.g. [29]), hence this population is also susceptible to RSV infection and resulting disease. Older adult vaccination may prevent lower respiratory tract infection (in particular, pneumonia). The older adult may be ≥50 years old, such as ≥: 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95 or ≥100 years old. Preferably, the older adult is ≥60 or ≥65 years old (such as 60-120 or 65-120 years old). Pregnant female vaccination In another preferred embodiment, the RSV-F proteins, nucleic acids, carriers, or pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure are administered to pregnant females (preferably pregnant human females), as the subject of vaccination. The primary object of maternal vaccination is to protect the infant from RSV infection when born, e.g. through passive transfer of antibodies via the placenta and/or breast milk. The pregnant female may be in her first, second or third trimester of pregnancy, preferably third trimester. The pregnant female may be ≥20 weeks pregnant, such as ≥: 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36 or ≥38 weeks pregnant. Preferably, the pregnant female is ≥28 , ≥29 or ≥30 weeks pregnant (such as 28-43, 29-43 or 30-43 weeks pregnant).

Docket No.: 70348WO01 EXAMPLES Many modifications and variations of the present disclosure are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, a skilled person in the art would recognise that the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described. The illustrative embodiments and examples should not be construed as limiting the invention. Materials & Methods Expression and Purification of RSV-F Mutants, DS-Cav1 and RSV-F mAbs (Examples 1, 2, 7 and 13) RSV-F mutants were synthesized (GENEWIZ/AZENTA) and cloned into a CMV-based vector with a C-terminal thrombin-cleavable double Strep tag II tag followed by a 6x His-tag. DS-Cav1, F(i), F(ii), and RSV-F mutants were transiently expressed in Expi293 F cells (THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC). Media was harvested after 4 days, and purified using affinity chromatography, either nickel affinity or strep-tag affinity. Briefly, for nickel affinity chromatography, cell harvest medium was passed over a HisTrap Excel column (CYTIVA) and eluted with a step gradient of imidazole. For strep-tag affinity, the harvest medium was buffer exchanged into 50 mM Tris pH 8, 300 mM NaCl, passed over a StrepTrap HP column (CYTIVA) and eluted with elution buffer (100 mM Tris pH 8, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA and 2.5 mM desthiobiotin). This was followed by a final size exclusion chromatography polishing step. RSV-F antibodies, AM14, D25, Motavizumab, and RSB1, were transiently transfected in Expi293F cells (THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC) according to manufacturer’s instructions and media was harvested 6-7 days post transfection. The cell harvest media was passed over a MABSELECT SURE COLUMN (CYTIVA) and eluted with 0.1 M citrate pH 3 into 1 M Tris pH 9; buffer exchanged into 20 mM HEPES pH 7, 150 mM NaCl; followed by a final size exclusion chromatography step on a HILOAD 16/600 Superdex 30 pg column (CYTIVA) in 20 mM Hepes pH 7, 150 mM NaCl. Initial Quantitation and Antigenicity using Biolayer Interferometry (Examples 1, 2, 7 and 13) Quantitation experiments were performed on the un-purified cell harvest media of 6x His-tagged DS- Cav1, F(i), F(ii) and RSV-F mutants using the Octet Red 96 or 384 instrument (SARTORIUS). Purified DS-Cav1 diluted in EXPI293 expression media with 0.1% BSA, 0.05% Tween-20 was used to make a standard curve. BSA and Tween-20 were added to DS-Cav1, F(i), F(ii), and RSV-F mutants un- purified cell harvest media to a final concentration of 0.1% and 0.05%, respectively. 6x His-tagged purified DS-Cav1, F(i), F(ii), and RSV-F mutant un-purified cell harvest media was captured on HIS2 biosensors for 2 min and the capture level was recorded. The concentrations were determined using unweighted 4 parameter logistics curve fitting in the manufacturer’s analysis software (Data Analysis HT 12.2.1.18). Initial antigenicity experiment was performed on the un-purified cell harvest media of DS-Cav1, F(i), F(ii), and RSV-F mutants to determine binding to AM14, D25, Motavizumab, and RSB1 mAbs using
Docket No.: 70348WO01 the OCTET Red 96 or 384 (SARTORIUS). mAbs were diluted to 8 µg/mL in 1xPBS with 0.1% BSA and 0.05% Tween-20. BSA and Tween-20 was added to DS-Cav1 and RSV-F mutant un-purified cell harvest media to a final concentration of 0.1% and 0.05%, respectively. AHC biosensors were regenerated in 10 mM Glycine pH 1.5 before and between experiments. AHC biosensors were washed in 1x PBS with 0.1% BSA and 0.05% Tween-20 for 30 sec, mAbs were loaded for 60 sec, and washed for 30 sec before capturing DS-Cav1, F(i), F(ii), or RSV-F mutants from the un-purified cell harvest media. Binding and dissociation of DS-Cav1, F(i), F(ii), and RSV-F mutants was measured for 180 sec each. The binding response of DS-Cav1 binding to each mAb was compared to the RSV-F mutants’ binding response to each mAb to determine yes or no binding. Rapid Stability Assay using Biolayer Interferometry (Examples 1, 2 and 7) The rapid stability assay was performed on un-purified cell harvest media of DS-Cav1, F(i), F(ii), and RSV-F mutants to determine binding to AM14 and D25 mAbs using the OCTET Red 96 or 384 (SARTORIUS). mAbs were diluted to 8 µg/mL in 1xPBS with 0.1% BSA and 0.05% Tween-20. DS- Cav1 and RSV-F mutant unpurified cell harvest media were incubated at 50 or 60°C for 0, 30, 60, or 120 min and diluted 1:1 with 1xPBS with 1% BSA and 0.05% Tween-20. AHC biosensors were regenerated in 10 mM Glycine pH 1.5 before and between experiments. AHC biosensors were washed in 1x PBS with 1% BSA and 0.05% Tween-20 for 30 sec, mAbs were loaded for 60 sec, and washed for 30 sec before capturing DS-Cav1, F(i), F(ii), or RSV-F mutants from the unpurified cell harvest media. Binding and dissociation of DS-Cav1, F(i), F(ii), and RSV-F mutants was measured for 180 sec each. The blank subtracted binding response was normalized to the time 0 response and plotted in EXCEL. Thermostability using nanoDSF (Examples 1, 2 and 13) Thermostability experiments were performed in duplicate on a PROMETHEUS NT.48 instrument (NANOTEMPER TECHNOLOGIES). Capillaries were filled with 10 µL of DS-Cav1, F(i), F(ii), and RSV-F mutants, placed in the sample holder, and the temperature was increased from 25 to 95°C at a ramp rate of 1°C/min. The reported ratio of the recorded emission intensities (Em350 nm/Em330 nm) and its first derivative was calculated with the manufacturer’s software (PR.ThermControl v2.1.1) to determine melting temperatures. Binding Kinetics using BIACORE (Example 2 and 13) Single cycle kinetics experiments were performed in duplicate on a BIACORE 8K+ (CYTIVA) using a ligand capture method at 25°C. HBS-EP+ was used as both a running buffer and sample diluent. A blank run of buffer as the ligand was followed by runs with IgGs captured to 100-200 RUs in flow cell 2 on a Protein A chip, leaving flow cell 1 as a reference. DS-Cav1, F(i), F(ii), and RSV-F mutants were injected in both flow cells at 30 µL/min for 120 sec followed by 2400 sec dissociation. Antigen concentrations ranged from 0-10 nM. Reference- and blank-subtracted sensograms were fitted using a 1:1 binding model to calculate kon, koff, and KD.

HBS-EP+ was used as both a running buffer and sample diluent. A blank run of buffer as the ligand was followed by runs with 10 µg/mL IgGs captured in flow cell 2 on a Protein A chip, leaving flow cell 1 as a reference. 5 µg/mL DS-Cav1 and PreF mutants, incubated at 50 or 60°C for 0, 30, 60, or 120 min, were injected in both flow cells at 10 µL/min for 120 sec followed by 60 sec dissociation. The relative analyte stability early response from blank subtracted sensograms was normalized to the time 0 response and plotted in EXCEL.

F647 also referred to as R713 in other examples. On day 21, mice were anesthetized under isoflurane to collect 100 μL of whole blood (40 μL of serum) by submandibular collection method. On day 35, mice were anesthetized under isoflurane
Docket No.: 70348WO01 and terminally exsanguinated by cardiac stick to obtain an estimated 200 μL to 500 μL of whole blood, (minimum 100 μL of serum). RSV pre-F IgG binding antibody titres and RSV neutralising antibody titres were measured on day 21 and day 35 using the following methods. RSV A neutralising antibody titre assay (against RSV A and B strains): Heat-inactivated sera (incubated for 30 min at 56°C) were diluted 3-fold starting at 1/8 (for a final dilution of 1/16). A control serum (WYETH Human Reference Sera from WHO/NIBSC) was included at a starting dilution of 1/64 (1/128 final). For the serial dilutions, 30μL of diluted serum was added on top of 60μL of RSV media (BIORICH DMEM supplemented with 3%-fetal bovine serum (FBS; MOREGATE, FBSAE1000), 2 mM L-Glutamine, and 50 μg/mL Gentamicin). RSV lab-adapted A-Long virus was diluted to approximately 50-150 foci-forming units per 25μL. 60μL of virus was added into the wells with the same volume of serum dilutions and incubated for 2 hours at 35°C 5% CO2. After incubation, 50μL of the serum-virus mixture was added on top of the vero cells (seeded the day before the test at a density of 15000 cells/well, to reach a minimum of 80% confluency) and incubated for 2 hours at 35°C 5% CO2. After incubation, serum-virus supernatant was removed and 200μL of 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose + RSV media was added on top of the cells. Plates were incubated for 2 days (max of 42 hours) at 35°C 5% CO2. Plates were then washed 2 times with 100μL of PBS and 50μL of 1% paraformaldehyde was added per well. Plates were covered in aluminium and incubated overnight at 4°C. The next day, plates were rinsed 3 times with 150μL of PBS.100μL of blocking solution (2% milk + PBS) was added on top of the wells and incubated for 1 hour at 37°C. After incubation, plates were rinsed 3 times with 200μL of PBS.50μL of primary goat anti-RSV polyclonal Ab (BIODESIGN, B65860G) diluted 1:400 in blocking solution was added per well and plates were incubated for 1 hour at 37°C. 50μL of secondary Ab rabbit anti-goat HRP (AGRISERA, AS10659) diluted 1:1500 in blocking solution was added per well and plates were incubated for 1 hour at 37°C. After 1 hour, plates were rinsed 3 times with 200μL of PBS and 50μL of TRUEBLUE Peroxidase substrate (KPL, 5510- 0049) was added on top. After an incubation for 5-15 minutes, plaques were then washed extensively with DI water and let to dry. Imaging of the plaques was done using an AXIOVISION microscope. Effective dilution 60 (ED60) values, corresponding to the reciprocal serum dilution associated with 60% reduction in FFU counts, were determined using a linear model. RSV F IgG Binding: A multiplex assay was performed to evaluate titers of RSV pre-F- specific antibodies in the serum of the mice immunized with new non replicating RSV mRNA vaccines. LUMINEX microspheres (MAGPLEX microspheres, LUMINEX from Austin, TX) were coupled with RSV pre-F antigen by chemical coupling according to manufacturer instructions. In 96 well plates, 2000 microspheres/ well were added in a volume of 50 µL 1X PBS with 1% BSA + 0.05% Na Azide (assay buffer) to five-fold serial dilutions of mouse serum down each column. After incubation of the microspheres and serum on an orbital shaker, covered, at RT for 60 minutes, the microspheres were washed two times with 200 µL/well of PBS with 0.05% Tween-20 (wash buffer) on a plate washer
Docket No.: 70348WO01 using a magnet to allow settling of beads between washes. Following the wash, 50 µL/well of r- Phycoerythrin (r-PE) conjugated anti-mouse IgG (JACKSON IMMUNORESEARCH) was added at a 1:50 dilution, and plates were incubated (covered) on an orbital shaker at room temperature (RT) for 60 minutes. After a final plate wash (same as described above) and incubation (covered, RT) with PBS on an orbital shaker for 20 minutes, fluorescent intensity was measured using a LUMINEX FLEXMAP 3D (LIFE TECHNOLOGIES model FM3D000). The raw data was analyzed using a SOFTMAX PRO template, where the serum sample binding potency was interpolated based on a five-parameter logistic fit of the standard curve. Serum anti-RSV F binding was calculated in terms of ASSAY Units (AU) using a reference standard assigned to a concentration of 100 AU. In vivo immunization (Example 11) mRNA production and LNP formulation was performed as per Example 6. Female BALB/c mice were 7 - 8 weeks old at day 0 of the study. An insulin syringe with a permanently attached needle was used to administer 50 µL (25 µL in each hindleg thigh muscle) of either saline or a 5-point, 3-fold dilution series starting at 1.5 μg of RNA encoding F647 ΔCT20, F647 ΔCT20 (codon optimized), F(iii), F(i) or F(i) ΔCT20 into each mouse on day 0 and day 21.

On day 35, mice were anesthetized under isoflurane and terminally exsanguinated by cardiac stick to obtain an estimated 200 μL to 500 μL of whole blood, (minimum 100 μL of serum). RSV Pre-F IgG binding and RSV A (long strain) neutralising antibody titres were analysed as per Example 6. Identification of RSV F-Specific T cells by flow cytometry: Multi-parameter flow cytometry with intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) was used to assess RSV F-specific CD4 and CD8 T cell responses. Spleens were harvested on day 35 from 6 mice per group (5 mice per group in the saline). Splenocytes from individual mice were plated in round-bottom 96 well tissue culture plates at 1.5x106 viable cells/well and stimulated with RSV A F-specific peptide pools. All samples were co-stimulated with the monoclonal antibody (mAb) 37.51 (anti-mouse CD28) and stained for the degranulation marker CD107a, 12-14 hours, in culture (37°C, 5% CO2). Two hours into the incubation, BD GOLGIPLUG, a protein transport inhibitor containing Brefeldin A, was added to all samples to block cytokine secretion from the cell. Upon completion of the 12-14 hour stimulation incubation, all samples were stained for viability, the phenotypic markers CD3, CD4, CD8, CD44 and the cytokines IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α, IL-17F, IL-4/IL-13. The data was acquired on the BD FACSYMPHONY A5 SORP cell analyzer using the High Throughput Sampler (HTS) option for acquisition in a 96 well plate format. Prior to analysis, the raw .fcs data files were analyzed by the computational algorithm (a quality control process which identifies and removes aberrant events caused by anomalies in fluoresence signal across all acquired parameters or flow rate over time of data acquisition leaving only “good events” in the raw .fcs data file). Removal of aberrant events decreases the risk of reporting false data. The initial data analysis was performed using FLOWJO v10.8.0. After defining gates identifying cytokine and CD107a expressing positive populations within the viable,
Docket No.: 70348WO01 activated, CD4 and CD8 T cell populations, a Boolean Combination Gate tool was used to automatically generate all possible combinations (positive and negative) of cytokine and CD107a expressing cells. For activated CD4 and CD8 T cells, all six analytes were included in the Boolean analysis generating a total of 64 multi-functional subsets. The raw data was exported into MICROSOFT EXCEL for further analysis. The response to peptide pool stimulation was determined by subtracting the response in the unstimulated media control for each sample. Negative values resulting from this subtraction were identified and changed to the number zero. The multi-functional subsets were used to categorize the data into CD4 T helper (Th) and CD8 T cytotoxic (Tc) phenotypic subsets based on production of IFN-γ, IL-13/IL-4, and IL-17F cytokines. Identification of RSV pre-F-specific B and Total Tfh Cells by flow cytometry: Multi-parameter flow cytometry was used to characterize B and Tfh cells in the spleen on day 35. Splenocytes from individual mice were plated in U-bottom 96 well tissue culture plates at 2x106 viable cells/well. Cells were stained with near IR live/dead cell stain (INVITROGEN) for 20 min at room temperature and then incubated with Fc block (BD BIOSCIENCES) in FACS Wash Buffer (PBS plus 1% BSA, THERMO SCIENTIFIC) for 10 min at room temperature. Following the incubation, the cells were extracellularly stained with the following antibodies: CD3-BB700, CD4-BUV395, B220-BUV563, CD19-BUV737, IgD-BV510, IgM-BV786, GL7-PE, CD95-BV750, CD138-BV711, PD1-APCR700, CXCR5-BUV615, CD44-PeCy7, and F647-APC. Cells were acquired on BD FACSYMPHONY A5 SORP cell analyzer and data analyzed with FLOWJO software v10.8.0 (BD BIOSCIENCES). Statistical analysis of RSVA neutralization data: in a preliminary step, the model to fit the data was selected stepwise. First, using the most saturated ANOVA model for fixed effects (dose as categorical, vaccine, time, and their interactions), variance-covariance structure was determined. Secondly, linear, polynomial full quadratic and full cubic models were fitted on log10 titers by including log10(dose), [log10(dose)]2 (except for linear), [log10(dose)]3 (except for linear and quadratic), vaccine, time, and all their interactions as fixed effects. Lastly, sequential exclusions of non-significant interaction effects were assessed. Model selection was based on Akaike Information corrected Criterion (AICc). The final model used to fit RSVA neutralization data is quadratic and includes as fixed effects: log10(dose), [log10(dose)]2, vaccine, time and all double and triple interactions except [log10(dose)]2 *vaccine*time. The selected variance-covariance structure related to timepoints is Unstructured matrix. To compare F647 ΔCT20 and F647 ΔCT20 (codon optimised) to other RNA constructs, geometric means ratios (GMR) of titers, with their 90% confidence intervals (CI) were computed from this model. No correction was applied for multiplicity. Statistically significant differences are those for which CI doesn’t include 1. Saline group data were exclude– from the analysis.
Docket No.: 70348WO01 In vivo immunization (Example 14) mRNA production and LNP formulation was performed as per Example 6, except the following LNP formulation was used: 40 mol% cationic lipid RV94; 2 mol% PEG-conjugated lipid; 48 mol% cholesterol; and 10 mol% 1,2-diastearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC). A total of thirty Sprague-Dawley rats (9-10 weeks old at the start of the study) were given either F647 ΔCT20-encoding mRNA (codon optimized) formulated in RV94 LNPs, F647 protein formulated with ASO1e, or DS-Cav1 protein formulated with ASO1e. Serum was collected on days 14, 28 and 42 for immunogenicity assessments. Table 13A – RNA and recombinant protein immunization study design Number o T

F647 also referred to as R713 in other examples. Non-terminal bleeds (volume = ~0.5 mL) were performed on days 14 and 28. Terminal bleed (max possible volume of blood) was performed on day 42. Neutralizing antibody responses: Neutralization assay was performed at VISMEDERI. Briefly, serum samples were diluted two-fold in microplates starting from a 1:20 dilution and mixed with RSV A2 (ATCC VR-1540) virus (100 TCID50). After 1 hour of incubation at 37C, 100uL of vero cells were added to the 96-well serum-virus mixture. Plates were incubated for 3 days at 37C, 5% CO2 in humidified atmosphere, and then washed and fixed with Acetone. Primary and secondary commercial antibodies were added to the plate and the neutralizing effect was evaluated by a spectrophotometer after the addition of a substrate. The reciprocal of the highest serum dilution corresponding to a 50% protection of cell monolayer against viral infection represent the reported neutralizing antibody titer. If no neutralization reaction was observed, it will be reported as half of the lower limit of detection. Samples that reached the upper bounds of the assay were re-ran with a higher starting dilution.
Docket No.: 70348WO01 Pre-F IgG binding: This LUMINEX assay is designed to detect the level of F647-specific IgG in rats based on a standard serum sample. LUMINEX microspheres were coupled with F647 antigen in Hepes/NaCl) at the target concentration of 10 µg/mL using sulfo-NHS and EDC, according to manufacturer’s instructions. The assay was run using a standard 96-well plate configuration where 2,500 microspheres/well were added in a volume of 50 μl PBS with 1% BSA + 0.05% Na Azide (assay buffer) into 100 μl of two-fold serial dilutions of rat serum samples and serum internal control across each row. After incubation of the microspheres and serum on an orbital shaker, covered, at RT for 60 minutes, the microspheres were washed with 250 μl/well of PBS, 0.05% Tween-20 (wash buffer) on a plate washer using a magnet to allow settling of beads before washing. Following the wash, 50 μl/well of R-phycoerythrin (PE) labelled Goat Anti-Rat IgG (Fcγ Fragment), was added at a dilution of 1:50, and plates were incubated, covered, on an orbital shaker at RT for 60 minutes. After a final plate wash (same as described above), the samples were resuspended in 100 μL of PBS, covered, and incubated at RT on an orbital shaker for 5-10 minutes. Fluorescent intensity was measured using a xMap Intelliflex. A rat serum standard and internal control was run on each plate. The rat serum standard was assigned a value of 100 Assay Units/mL (AU/mL) and was used to calculate sample titers. The standard and internal control is a pooled serum sample from, group 1, Day 42 (Rats immunized with RSV F647 d20 mRNA (codon optimized)). In vivo immunization (Example 15) mRNA production and LNP formulation was performed as per Example 6. Female BALB/c mice were 7 - 8 weeks old at day 0 of the study.

Generation of B cell Antigen Probes: F647 was non-specifically biotinylated using the FLUORREPORTER Mini-Biotin-XX Protein Labeling Kit (THERMOFISHER) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The biotinylated proteins were then conjugated to streptavidin-APC (INVITROGEN) in a 3:1 protein:streptavidin-APC ratio. Proteins and HEPES buffer were added, and the streptavidin-APC was added in 1/5 increments. Between each addition of streptavidin-APC, the mixture was rotated at 4°C for 20 minutes. The probes were titrated on frozen, RSV-immunized mouse splenocytes to confirm specificity and determine the optimal concentration.
Docket No.: 70348WO01 Example 1 - Expression and binding studies (“Round 5” designs) For “Round 5”, the human RSV-F A2 subtype-based F217 sequence (SEQ ID NO: 23) was chosen as a structural template design, resulting in 28 constructs for testing (Table 3), each comprising linker sequences, a bacteriophage T4 fibritin foldon trimerisation domain, a thrombin cleavage site, a strep- tag and His-tag at the C-terminus (see, e.g. residues 514 onwards of SEQ ID NO: 2). These 28 constructs were transfected into EXPI293F cells and tested for expression, antibody binding, and thermal stress resistance in cell harvest media. Biolayer interferometry (BLI) was used to test expression via affinity-based histidine tags, resulting in the identification of F528 (D486C:A490C; SEQ ID NO: 24), see Figure 1, which showed particularly high expression relative to DS-Cav1. The designs were then tested for the presence of the pre-fusion specific epitope using three known antibodies: AM14 (quaternary epitope), D25 (site Ø), and RSB1 (site V). F528 was able to bind all three antibodies, showing a similar binding response to DS-Cav1, see Figure 2. Finally, the designs were then tested for thermal heat resistance after incubation at 50 or 60°C by binding to AM14 and D25. F528 showed higher antibody binding after heat stress compared to DS-Cav1, see Figure 3.

Round 6 designs included inter alia, the addition of the D486C:A490C disulphide bond, identified in F528, and a GS linker (Δ103-145, substituted for GS, linking positions 102 and 146 – “GS102”; or Δ104-144, substituted for GS, linking positions 103 and 145 – “GS103”). Each of these mutations was individually added to the human RSV-
Docket No.: 70348WO01 F A2 subtype wild-type ectodomain sequence (a.k.a “F300” – SEQ ID NO: 2) and the resulting designs were tested for expression and antibody binding. Both designs F658 (486:490 disulphide; SEQ ID NO: 25) and F661 (GS linker feature) showed increased expression compared to DS-Cav1 (Figure 4). AM14, D25, Motavizumab and RSB1 antibody binding is shown in Figure 5. Furthermore, F528 and F420 (SEQ ID NOs: 24 and 26; the latter having the substitutions S55T, S215A and N228K relative to WT) were chosen as structural template designs, resulting in 12 and 4 designs respectively, for testing (see Figure 12 for overview). These 16 designs were tested in mammalian cells for expression, antibody binding, and thermal stress resistance in a similar manner as Round 5. Four constructs were identified for further characterization, indicating higher expression relative to DS- Cav1, similar binding to the prefusion antibodies, and higher thermal heat resistance in the rapid stability test (F647, F651, F663, F664 (SEQ ID NOs: 28, 32, 39 and 40) – protein expression in Figure 6, antibody binding in Figure 7, rapid stability test in Figure 8). These designs exhibited a range of optimal biophysical properties: expression (Figure 9), antigenicity (Figure 10), and thermostability measured by nano-DSF (Table 4; summarized in Table 5).

See Figures 14 and 15 and associated description of figures, above, for results. Briefly, both F528 and F647 were in the pre-fusion conformation and were found to have an intra-protomer disulphide bond between cysteine residues at positions 486 and 490. Figure 14A shows the cryo-EM structure of the RSV F528-AM14 Fab complex. Figure 14B shows the presence of three intra-protomer disulphide bonds (per protomer) each linking 486C and 490C – electron density of the disulphide bond was clearly visible in the cryo-EM map. Figure 14C shows an EM density map of one such disulphide bond. Figure 15A shows the cryo-EM structure of the RSV F647-RSB1 Fab complex. This work generated a cryo-EM map of the F647 design with higher resolution than that of F528 (F647 at 3.3 Å), which provides clear density of not only the intra-protomer disulfide bonds but also the side chains of the stabilizing mutations. Figure 15B shows a zoom view of the intra-protomer disulphide bonds captured by cryo-EM (EM density map shown in mesh). Figures 15C and E shows the stabilised electrostatic repulsive ring in design F647. Figure 15D and F shows the electrostatic repulsive ring in wild-type RSV F protein.

The parent construct, (13, Table 1), includes a full-length C-terminal domain
Docket No.: 70348WO01 (CTD) and was compared to the F antigen with a cytoplasmic tail (CT) truncation of 20 amino acids from the C-terminus (see 20, Table 1). Next, the F antigens (13 & 20) were evaluated in the context of two additional classes of post translational modifications. First, the addition of N-linked glycosylations was tested by mutating serine (S) 211 and 348 to asparagine (N) (see 1 & 2, Table 1). Second, the addition of a disulphide bond was considered by mutating aspartic acid (D) 486 and alanine (A) 490 to cysteines (C) (see 14 & 21, Table 1). Finally, the F antigen designs features were also considered in combination (see 3 & 8, Table 1). All F antigens were encoded by in vitro transcribed mRNAs that include common 5’ & 3’ UTR sequences (“UTR4”), common mRNA cap structure (Cap 1), 3’ polyA tail (see sequence listing for sequence) and nucleotide chemistry (100% replacement of uridine with 1mΨ). These eight F antigen designs were evaluated in parallel using cell-based, High Content imaging assays (see materials and methods). The F antigen expression encoded by the eight candidate mRNAs was evaluated at the cell surface of primary human fibroblast (BJ) cells and readily quantified using High Content imaging. The total expression of RSV F protein (measured by motavizumab binding) was assessed 24 (Figure 18A) & 72 (Figure 18B) hours post-transfection (hpt). As expected, F antigens with a full-length CT were generally reduced in level at both time points, compared to corresponding F antigens with a truncated CTD, demonstrating the strong impact of the CT truncation on RSV F surface expression. At 24hpt (Figure 18A), the F antigen expression of the parent (13) marginally improved by addition of the glycosylations (1), and improved approximately 20% by addition of the disulphide bond (14). Two- days later, F antigen expression is mostly similar between (13), (1), (14) and (3) (Figure 18B). However, F antigen comprising the truncated CT (20) was expressed generally equivalent with (21) containing the disulfide bond, and (8) including both disulphide bond and glycosylation mutations, or modestly reduced when mutated to include additional glycosylations (2) for data at both 24hpt and 72hpt (Figure 18 A and B respectively). 4B The prefusion conformation levels of RSV F protein (measured by D25 binding) were assessed 24 (Figure 17A) & 72 (Figure 17B) hours post transfection (hpt) using a cell-surface specific staining protocol. Consistent with prior results, F antigens with a full length CT were generally reduced in level at both time points, compared to corresponding F antigens with a truncated CT. At 24hpt (Figure 17A), the F antigen expression of the parent (13) improves about 30% by addition of the glycosylations (1), and improves approximately 50% by addition of the disulphide bond (14). Two- days later, F antigen expression retains the overall trends observed at 24hpt for (13), (1) and (14) (Figure 17B). 24 hpt (Figure 17A), the F antigen supported by the truncated CT (20) was expressed equivalent with (21) containing the disulphide bond, and (8) including both disulphide bond and glycosylation mutations, or modestly reduced when mutated to include additional glycosylations (2).72hpt, antigen
Docket No.: 70348WO01 design (21) exceeds all others, indicating the best stability for the pre-fusion conformation of the F antigen (Figure 17B). 4C The RSV F-encoding mRNAs were characterized using conformation-specific antibody AM14 that recognizes the trimeric, prefusion quaternary F antigen structure. The quaternary levels of RSV F protein (measured by AM14 binding) were assessed 24 (Figure 16A) & 72 (Figure 16B) hours post transfection (hpt) using a cell-surface specific staining protocol. Consistent with prior results, F antigens with a full length CT were generally reduced in level at both time points, compared to any F antigen models with a truncated CT. At 24hpt (Figure 16A), the F antigen expression of the parent (13) improves about 20% by addition of the glycosylations (1), and improves approximately 2x by addition of the disulphide bond (14). Two- days later, F antigen expression retains the overall trends observed at 24hpt for (13), (1), (14) and (3) (Figure 16B). 24 hpt (Figure 16A), the F antigen supported by the truncated CT (21), containing the disulphide bond, is expressed to a higher level than (20), (8), or (2).72hpt (Figure 16B), antigen design (21) maintains superior expression of the trimeric, pre-fusion state of the F antigen. Example 5 – Computational prediction of further intra-protomer disulphide bonds in the HRB domain Structures including pdb code 5ea4 and 5c69 as well as cryo-EM structures obtained for designs F21 (mutations vs SEQ ID NO: 1 in Table 7B, below) and F216 (SEQ ID NO: 122) were prepared by either cartesian refinement using ROSETTA Scripts and/or Quick Prep using the Molecular Operating Environment software (MOE; MOLSIS Inc., Japan). Once structures were optimised, residues within a Cβ-Cβ distance of 5Å were identified as having an optimal distance to form a disulphide bond. Residues that are within the same protomer (intra-protomer) were identified. Table 7A shows residue pairs in the HRB domain (residues 474-523) that have an optimal distance in at least one of the prepared structures and were predicted to form an intra-protomer disulphide bond, based on the 5Å distance criterion. Additionally, energy calculations were then performed using MOE and the Amber15 forcefield to predict the energy stabilization resulting from each of the disulphide substitutions. Table 7A (bolded entries) shows amino acids pairs in the HRB domain identified within a Cβ-Cβ distance of 5Å, and that were predicted to be stabilising of the pre-fusion conformation in at least one of the structures analysed. These include predicted disulphide pairs that would be expected to have similar stabilising effect as the C486:C490 disulphide.

Figure 23A presents the RSV A neutralising antibody titres (ED60) on day 21 (3wp1) and day 35 (2wp2) in animals immunized with 0.5 μg of F528, F647, F647 ΔCT20, F651 ΔCT20, F(iii), F(i), F(ii), or DS-Cav1 (where each point represents an individual animal). The saline group did not generate a measurable neutralisation response to RSV A (data not shown). On day 21, F647 ΔCT20 elicited the highest RSV A-long neutralisation antibody titres with minimal variability within the group. The neutralisation titres elicited from F647 ΔCT20 was higher than F(iii), F(i), F(iii), and DS-Cav1. Addition of a GS-linker (F651) did not substantially improve neutralisation titres. On day 35, RSV A neutralisation antibody titres from F647 d20 vaccination remained higher than F(iii), F(iii) , and DS- Cav1, and were comparable to the neutralisation titres elicited from vaccination with the F(i) antigen. Figure 23B presents the RSV A and B day 35 (2wp2) cross-neutralisation titres to lab-adapted (RSV A-long and RSV B-18537) and clinical RSV strains (RSV A-Clinical 2015, RSV B-Clinical 2015 and
Docket No.: 70348WO01 2017). Cross-neutralisation was improved with the F647 antigen compared to F528 and was substantially higher compared to DS-Cav1. Similar to the RSV A neutralisation results, the addition of GS-linker (F651) did not improve neutralisation titres. Overall, F647 ΔCT20 elicited consistent cross-neutralisation to all RSV A and B strains tested. Cross-neutralising antibody titres elicited from F647 ΔCT20 were higher than F(iii) and F(ii), and comparable to F(i). Finally, F647 ΔCT20 generated robust cross-neutralising titres to RSV B-Clinical 2017 strain, which contained the most mutations on the pre-F surface, indicating that the vaccine antigen can elicit neutralising antibodies to more antigenically diverse strains. Figure 24A presents the pre-F IgG binding antibody titres on day 21 and day 35. On day 21, F647 ΔCT20 generated the highest pre-F IgG antibody titres compared to F528, F647, F651 ΔCT20, F(iii), F(ii) and DS-Cav1, and the magnitude of F647 d20-elicited pre-F IgG binding antibodies were comparable to F(i) construct. By day 35, all constructs generated comparable pre-F IgG binding antibody titres. Example 7 – Minimal substitution screen Constructs F301 – F307 were generated as recombinant proteins with 6 substitutions each against the RSV A2 WT background sequence (positions 1-513 of SEQ ID NO: 2). Substitutions were also individually added to RSV A2 WT background sequence to generate sequences F308 – F313 and F226 with one substitution each (see Table 8A). C-terminal sequences (positions 514 onwards) of all recombinant protein constructs were according to positions 514 onwards of SEQ ID NO: 2.

Docket No.: 70348WO01 F310 N228K F311 S348N F312 T455V F313 V459M F226 K315I Mutants were produced and screened as described for Example 1. All mutants in the group F301 – F307 expressed and had binding to mAbs AM14, D25, and RSB1 equivalent to DS-Cav1 (Figure 25), confirming a pre-fusion confirmation. This means a pre-fusion confirmation can be obtained with different combinations of these substitutions. Sequences F308, F309, and F311 which contained only the S55T, S215A, or S348N substitutions respectively, resulted in protein production and had some binding to mAbs AM14, D25, and RSB1 (Figures 25 & 26 respectively), though less binding than DS- Cav1. Thus, these substitutions are likely important in the stabilisation of the pre-fusion confirmation. Finally, sequence F310, containing substitution N228K had both protein expression and binding to AM14, D25, and RSB1 that was equivalent to DS-Cav1 (Figures 25 & 26 respectively), indicating that this substitution has a significant contribution to the stabilisation of pre-fusion RSV F, and is able to stabilise the pre-fusion conformation independently. F301-F307 were further characterized and showed optimal biophysical properties including thermostability similar to F225 by nano-DSF (See Table 8B, below). Long term stability of F310 was tested and is shown in Figure 30.

541 LIAVGLLLY (portion of SEQ ID NO: 1) The deletion of the full-length CT (Figure 28A & 29A, see F(ii) ΔCTD) increases expression of RSV F at the cell surface compared to the parent (absent any deletions from the CT) (Figure 28A & 29A, F(ii)). The mRNA encoding CT deletion variants (Figure 28A, see F(ii) CTD Δ15, F(ii) CTD Δ15 F(ii) CTD Δ17, and F(ii) CTD Δ20) offered the best cell-surface, trimeric pre-fusion RSV F protein expression, while F(ii) CTD Δ16 offered a substantial improvement out to at least 72 hours post transfection. In contrast, both F(ii) CTD Δ21 and F(ii) ΔCTD each exhibit weaker expression (Figure 28A) for the duration of the assay. The data is summarized using area under the curve (AUC) and shown in Figures 28B & C and 29B & C. Consistent with the time-course shown in Figure 28A, the peak cell-surface, trimeric, prefusion RSV F expression is specific to variants using the CTD length at least 5 amino acids long, and in contrast, CTD lengths less than 5 amino acids are associated with reduced F protein expression (Figure 29B). Example 10 – Toluene nitrosulphonic acid (TNS) fluorescence assay for determining pKa Steps (1) – (14): (1) admixing 400 μL of 2 mM of the cationic lipid that is in 100 volume % ethanol and 800 μL of 0.3 mM of fluorescent probe TNS, which is in 90 volume % ethanol and 10 volume % methanol, thereby obtaining a lipid/TNS mixture; (2) admixing 7.5 μL of the lipid/TNS mixture and 242.5 μL of a first buffer comprising a sodium salt buffer comprising 20 mM sodium phosphate, 25 mM sodium citrate, 20 mM sodium acetate, and 150 mM sodium chloride, wherein the first buffer has a first pH from 4.44 to 4.52, thereby obtaining a first mixture, and dispensing 100 μL of the first mixture in a first well of a 96-well plate, which has a clear bottom; (3) admixing 7.5 μL of the lipid/TNS mixture and 242.5 μL of a second buffer comprising the sodium salt buffer, wherein the second buffer has a second pH of 5.27, thereby obtaining a second mixture, and dispensing 100 μL of the second mixture in a second well of the 96-well plate;

Docket No.: 70348WO01 Example 11 – In vivo RNA immunization (further study) A 3-fold dilution series starting at 1.5 μg of RNA, encoding F647 ΔCT20, F647 ΔCT20 (codon optimised), F(iii), F(i) or F(i) ΔCT20 was administered to mice as set out in the Materials and Methods section. Overall, F647 ΔCT20 (codon optimised) was more immunogenic compared to F647 ΔCT20. F647 ΔCT20 (codon optimised) elicited the highest pre-F IgG binding and RSV A-Long neutralization titers on day 21 (Figures 31A and 32A). By day 35, F647 ΔCT20 (codon optimised) generated the highest pre-F IgG titers at low doses, but pre-F IgG binding titers were comparable across groups at high doses (Figures 31B and 32B). On day 21, F647 ΔCT20 (codon optimised) elicited statistically significantly higher neutralisation titers compared to F647 ΔCT20, F(iii), and F(i) almost over the entire dose range, except below 0.057 μg (geometric mean ratio (GMR); data not shown). On day 35, F647 ΔCT20 (codon optimised) elicited statistically significantly higher neutralisation titers over the entire dose range compared to F(iii) and below 0.5 μg compared to F647 ΔCT20 and F(i) (GMR; data not shown). To measure vaccine-elicited T and B cell responses, splenocytes from the saline, 0.5μg and 1.5μg F647 ΔCT20 (codon optimised) dose groups were harvested two weeks after immunization (day 35) for flow cytometry staining and acquisition. F647 ΔCT20 and F647 ΔCT20 (codon optimised) vaccination elicited a CD4/CD8 Th1/Tc1-biased response in mice in both doses that were tested and did not enhance the CD4 Th2 response at high and low dose (Figures 33A and 33B). Incorporation of codon optimisation seemed to slightly improve the frequency of total T follicular helper (Tfh) cells compared to the saline control group (Figure 34A). F647 ΔCT20 and F647 ΔCT20 (codon optimised) vaccination elicited higher frequencies of pre-F-specific B cells compared to the saline control. The frequency of germinal center pre-F-specific B cells trended higher with the incorporation of codon optimisation (Figure 34B), indicating a potentially higher antigen-specific B cell memory response. No pre-F- specific B cells were detected in the saline control mice, demonstrating specificity of the assay. Taken together, these results demonstrate that codon optimisation is positively impacting immunogenicity. Example 12 - Structural characterisation of designs F647, F651 and 2
nd generation DS-Cav1 by cryo-EM Further analysis of the F647 structure solved in complex with RSB1 Fab, and comparison with F651 and 2
nd generation DS-Cav1, indicated additional mechanisms by which the 486:490 disulphide stabilises the prefusion conformation. Firstly, the disulphide bond acts as a kink that restricts the rearrangement of residues 485-492 into an extended alpha helix, a necessary step for transition to the post fusion conformation (Figure 35). Such restriction increases the energy barrier for the conformational change to the post-fusion conformation. Furthermore, the 486:490 disulphide repositions wild-type residue F488 to form a pi-pi stacking interaction with wild-type residue F137 (the latter being within the fusion peptide) – see Figures 36A, C and D. In a wild-type region, residue F137 forms a cation-pi stacking interaction with K339 (see Figure 36B). Furthermore, in F647, the 486:490 disulphide repositions the side chain of F488 away from the trimeric center (see, e.g. Figure
Docket No.: 70348WO01 36A) and enables a pi-pi stacking interaction between the F488 and F137 in addition to the cation-pi stacking interaction between the F137 and K339 (see, e.g. Figure 36D). This cation-pi-pi trio-stacking further restricts the movement of the fusion peptide, thereby helping to stabilise the pre-fusion conformation (see, e.g. Figures 36C and D). Indeed, as shown in Figure 36C, residues of the fusion peptide are well-resolved, indicating the region to have a stable (restricted) position. Further aromatic residues at positions 137 and 488 (in place of F) may provide such beneficial interactions, in particular Y or W. Further positively charged residues at position 339 (in place of K) may provide such beneficial interactions, in particular R. To determine effect of the 486:490 disulphide in combination with the unmodified (wild-type) fusion peptide residues in F647, the structures of F651 and 2
nd generation DS-Cav1 [33] were also solved (as set out in Materials and Methods, above) and compared to that of F647. F651 carries all the mutations as in F647, but with a GS linker modification that replaces the p27 domain and fusion peptide; 2
nd generation DS-Cav1 has a different set of mutations and a similar GS linker (see Figure 37D for sequence alignments). Both F651 and 2
nd generation DS-Cav1 were found to have a broader trimer base compared to F647, which is most obvious at the α10 helices (Figure 37A-C). Altogether, this indicates that the 486:490 disulphide in combination with the unmodified (wild-type) fusion peptide results in a more tightly packed central cavity and trimer base, indicating less tendency for conformational change (both breathing of the trimer and pre- to post-fusion conformational change). Example 13 – Expression, thermostability and antibody binding studies of RSV-F A2 strain and M16 strain (B subtype) background designs To determine the effect of the background (wild-type) sequence, substitutions from F647 and F663 were also added to an M16 strain (B subtype) wildtype sequence. Background sequences incorporating inter alia a T4 fibritin foldon trimerisation domain are provided in SEQ ID NO: 2 and 4. Mutations from comparator designs F(i), F(ii), DS-Cav1 and 2
nd generation DS-Cav1 were also introduced into the same background sequences (2
nd generation DS-Cav1 sequences provided as SEQ ID NO: 124 and 125 respectively). Similar expression was observed for all comparator mutations (F(i), F(ii), DS-Cav1 and 2
nd generation DS-Cav1) in both the A2 and M16 background sequences. However, the F647 and F663 substitutions fared better in terms of expression in the A2 strain background (Figure 38A). All designs showed a similar binding response to the RSV pre-fusion specific antibodies, AM14, D25, and RSB1 and the pre- and post-fusion specific antibody, Motavizumab (site II) compared to DS-Cav1 A2 background, regardless of the background sequence (data not shown). Similarly, each design showed similar thermal heat resistance regardless of background sequence, when using the rapid stability test performed using BLI with unpurified media (data not shown). Further characterisation showed similar purified protein yield (except for F663), thermostability, and binding to pre-fusion-specific antibodies (except for F647) between constructs using the A2 and M16 background sequences (purified protein yield in Figure 38B, thermostability in Table 14 (below), and antibody binding in Figure 38C).

All vaccinated groups elicited pre-F IgG antibody titers and a neutralizing antibody response against RSV A2. On day 14, DS-Cav1 ASO1e elicited the lowest pre-F-specific IgG antibody titers (Figure 48). However, by day 42, the difference in pre-F IgG titers between groups were marginal. On day 14, neutralization titers against RSV A2 were slightly higher in the DS-Cav1 ASO1e group compared to the F647 groups (Figure 49). However, again, by day 42, the difference in neutralization titers between groups were marginal.
Docket No.: 70348WO01 Example 15 – In vivo RNA immunization (long-term neutralizing antibody responses) To assess the durability of neutralizing antibody responses, RSV naïve mice were immunized with 0.497 µg F647 ΔCT20 (codon optimised) once or twice and their RSV neutralizing antibody response monitored approximately monthly for up to 6 months, as set out in the Materials and Methods section. For RSV A neutralizing antibody titers, a 38-fold increase in the titer two weeks after a second immunization was observed (Figure 39A). During that same time frame, a 3-fold increase in titer for the mice that received one immunization was also observed (Figure 39C). Interestingly, by month two, the mice that received one or two immunizations had similar RSV A neutralizing antibody titers, which were maintained until the end of the experiment (Figure 39B and C). In addition, the RSV B neutralizing antibody response was determined over the same timescale. After a second immunization, 38-fold increase in RSV B neutralizing antibody titers from day 21 to day 35 was observed (Figure 40B). As with RSV A, it was observed that by month two, the levels of RSV B neutralizing antibody stayed at the same magnitude and were maintained until the end of the study. However, it appears that two immunizations provide slightly higher RSV B neutralizing antibody titers compared to one immunization. (Figure 40B compared to C). This data indicated that with either one or two immunizations in a naïve animal model, F647 ΔCT20 (codon optimised) elicited both RSV A and RSV B neutralizing antibody titers, which were maintained for at least six months post immunization. Example 16 – In vivo RNA immunization (A and B subtype designs, co-formulation and co- administration) Codon optimised RNA encoding F647 A and B subtype-based designs were administered to mice, as set out in the Materials and Methods section. Day 21 and 35 neutralizing antibody titers against RSV A and B are shown in Figures 44-47. Ex-vivo CD4
+ and CD8
+ T cell responses to RSV-F A and B subtype proteins were assessed on day 35. In all RNA-administered groups, the CD4
+ and CD8
+ T cell response was skewed towards a Th1
+ and Tc1
+ response. For splenocytes stimulated with RSV A peptide pool, the lower dose of F647 A subtype RNA, lower and higher dose of F647 B subtype RNA, and co-administrated RNA appear to have similar CD4
+ Th1-skewed response, while co-formulated RNA and the high dose of F647 A subtype RNA appear to have a higher response (Figure 41A). For the CD8
+ Tc1- skewed response, all RNA-administered groups appear to have similar levels except for the low dose of F647 A subtype RNA, which appears lower (Figure 41B). Upon stimulating T cells with RSV B peptide pool, the frequency of CD4
+ Th1-skewed response was highest with co-formulated RNA and the higher dose of F647 B subtype RNA (Figure 42A). Co-administration, higher dose F647 A subtype RNA, and F647 B subtype RNA had similar frequency, with lower dose F647 A subtype RNA having the lowest
Docket No.: 70348WO01 response (Figure 42A). The CD8
+ Tc1-skewed frequency was similar for all RNA-administered groups except for low dose F647 A subtype RNA, which appeared to have a lower frequency (Figure 42B). Additionally, on day 35, the F647-specific germinal center B cell response was examined. A similar frequency of total germinal center B cells was observed for both the lower and higher dose of F647 A subtype RNA and F647 B subtype RNA, and a slight increase observed in the co-formulated and co- administered RNA groups (Figure 43B). However, when we examine the F647-specific germinal center B cell response, the lower dose for F647 A and B subtype RNA and higher dose F647 B subtype RNA have similar frequencies, and co-formulation, co-administration, and higher dose F647 A subtype RNA have a higher frequency (Figure 43B). The frequency of CD4+ T follicular helper cells (Tfh) was also determined. The frequency of total Tfh cells was higher in all RNA- administered groups compared to saline, with co-formulation and co-administration being slightly higher than others (Figure 43A).
