Structure-based vaccinology for human viruses

Virus Structural Modification Outcome Ref
RSV Identification of pre-fusion F protein structure Allows vaccination with pre-fusion F-containing neutralizing epitopes [105]
Pre-fusion F stabilization Highly immunogenic responses in vaccines [106108]
Epitope focused vaccine design Proof-of-concept study developing an RSV vaccine for neutralizing epitopes of interest [109]
SARS-CoV-2 SARS-CoV-2 spike stabilization Highly immunogenic vaccines with the S2P and HexaPro stabilizations [26]
SARS-CoV Identification of SARS-CoV prefusion spike structure Revealed new epitopes for vaccine design [34, 110, 111]
MERS-CoV Identification of MERS-CoV prefusion spike structure Highly immunogenic epitopes for vaccine development [112, 113]
HIV-1 Stabilization of HIV-1 envelope protein Generation of BG-SOSIP trimer immunogens capable of eliciting neutralizing antibodies [27, 114116]
Structure of pre-fusion envelope Atomic resolution of pre-fusion spike immunogens [117, 118]
Engineered HIV-1 immunogens Structural design of germline targeting immunogens [53, 54, 119, 120]
Structural guided nanoparticle design Structure based nanoparticle formulations are highly immunogenic for multiple viruses [38, 121123]
