A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11965000B2) discloses a pharmaceutical composition comprising a mRNA molecule encoding a Respiratory Syncytial Virus fusion protein (RSV-F) with a deleted C-terminus (F-del), lacking specific amino acids. The mRNA molecule is formulated with a cationic lipid and includes a 5'-cap structure, 5' and 3' untranslated regions, a poly(A) sequence, and a stabilizing sequence from the alpha globin 3' UTR. Additionally, the composition may include a second mRNA encoding an antigen from a different virus. The pharmaceutical composition is designed for intramuscular injection and aims to stimulate an immune response to RSV by producing RSV neutralizing antibodies.

Furthermore, the patent also covers a method for stimulating an immune response to RSV in a subject by administering the pharmaceutical composition described above. The method involves intradermal or intramuscular injection of the composition, which includes a cationic component and a poly(A) sequence of specific length. By utilizing this method, an increased amount of RSV neutralizing antibodies can be generated compared to compositions encoding full-length RSV-F. The method emphasizes the importance of the specific mRNA structure, including the 5' cap structure, 3' UTR stabilizing sequence, and the inclusion of a transmembrane domain of native RSV-F, in enhancing the immune response against RSV.
