Background [0004] Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause respiratory tract illnesses, like the common cold. However, new coronaviruses that have emerged from animal reservoirs have caused serious and widespread illness and death, including SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 causes the highly infectious Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), which the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic in March of 2020. There is an urgent and immediate need for effective therapeutic options for the treatment of individuals with COVID-19, e.g., therapeutic options that can improve clinical outcomes by addressing viral infection and resolving illness or reducing progression of the disease. [0005] Attempts have been made to develop nanoparticles containing viral proteins in various scaffolds for treating other viral infections such as influenza. Such nanoparticles can be designed to present various different antigens, and there are currently many different particles being evaluated as antigen carriers, including inorganic and polymeric nanoparticles, virus-like particles (VLPs), liposomes and self-assembled protein nanoparticles. However, it is currently unknown what coronavirus antigens in what nanoparticle structures would provide an effective tool for generating clinically useful immune responses.

The polypeptides can be expressed as fusion proteins with ferritin, which allows the fusion proteins to self-assemble into nanoparticles. The nanoparticles containing the fusion proteins can be administered to an animal (e.g., a horse or human) to generate an immune response (e.g., antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof) that are capable of neutralizing the coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2). The antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof (e.g., human or equine antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof) can be used to treat or prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or COVID-19. The modified coronavirus spike polypeptides can be used as a vaccine in animals, including humans. Definitions [0071] A “coronavirus” is any of a large family (Coronaviridae) of single-stranded RNA viruses that have a lipid envelope with spike proteins. Exemplary coronaviruses include, e.g., severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS, SARS-CoV, or SARS-CoV-1), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). [0072] A “wild-type” coronavirus refers to a naturally occurring coronavirus. A “pseudovirus” is a chimeric virus which contains and expresses viral proteins of non- coronavirus origin and also contains and expressed the membrane/envelope proteins of a coronavirus virus, where the coronavirus membrane/envelope proteins mediate viral entry. However, a “pseudovirus” may not always induce pathogenesis as its wild-type counterpart does. Typically, a pseudovirus will have the membrane/envelope of a different virus replaced with the membrane/envelope of a coronavirus, thereby creating a chimeric virus. [0073] As used herein, the term “coronavirus disease-19” (“COVID-19”) refers to an infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. [0074] “Coronavirus spike protein,” “coronavirus spike polypeptide,” “coronavirus spike glycoprotein,” “coronavirus S protein,” “coronavirus S polypeptide, and “coronavirus S glycoprotein” are used interchangeable herein to refer to any coronavirus spike protein or coronavirus spike protein-encoding polynucleotide.

In some aspects, a “modified” ferritin protein can self-assemble into a globular/spherical form. In some aspects, a “modified” ferritin protein can self-assemble into a globular/spherical form and comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to SEQ ID NO:7.

[0079] “Percent identity” refers to the extent of identity between two sequences (e.g., amino acid sequences or nucleic acid sequences). Percent identity can be determined by aligning two sequences, introducing gaps to maximize identity between the sequences. Alignments can be generated using programs known in the art. For purposes herein, alignment of nucleotide sequences can be performed with the blastn program set at default parameters, and alignment of amino acid sequences can be performed with the blastp program set at default parameters (see National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) on the worldwide web, ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). [0080] A “corresponding position” or “corresponding amino acid”, e.g., in a coronavirus (S) protein refers to position of the amino acid residue where at least two coronavirus (S) protein sequences are aligned. For instance, an amino acid that “corresponds” to amino acid R685 in SEQ ID NO:5 is an amino acid in a protein sequence that aligns with amino acid 685 in SEQ ID NO:5. [0081] As used herein a “mutation” refers to an alteration, e.g., in a polynucleotide or polypeptide sequence. Mutations include, for example, insertions, deletions (e.g., truncations), and/or substitutions. In some aspects, a mutation in a polynucleotide sequence results in a mutation (e.g., insertion, deletion, and/or substitution) in the polypeptide encoded by the polynucleotide. As used herein, a “conservative amino acid substitution” is one in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues having side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine, tryptophan), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine) and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). Non-conservative amino acid substitutions are also possible. [0082] As used herein a “mutation that reduces furin cleavage” in a modified spike polypeptide refers to a mutation that decreases the percentage of polypeptides that are cleaved by furin as compared to a polypeptide of amino acids 16-1273 of SEQ ID NO:5. A “mutation that eliminates furin cleavage” in a modified spike polypeptide refers to a mutation that entirely abolishes cleavage of the polypeptide by furin. Such mutations can increase the amount of the polypeptide in the pre-cleavage conformation and thereby confer a more homogenous and regular presentation of the modified spike polypeptide. [0083] As used herein a “mutation that stabilizes the pre-fusion conformation” in a modified spike polypeptide refers to a mutation that increases the percentage of trimers in a “prefusion” conformation) as compared to trimers comprising polypeptides of amino acids 16-1273 of SEQ ID NO:5. The conformation of coronavirus trimers can be determined using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) as disclosed in D. Wrapp et al., Science 10.1126/science.abb2507 (2020), and Cai et al. bioRxiv 2020.05.16.099317 (2020) which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0084] Coronavirus spike polypeptides and modified coronavirus spike polypeptides can assemble into trimers. As used herein a “trimer” refers to a polymer comprising three monomers. A homo-trimer contains three identical monomers, whereas in a hetero- trimer, the three monomers are not all identical. [0085] As provided herein are “fusion proteins” or “fusion polypeptides” comprising coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptides and modified coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptides. Unless otherwise noted, a fusion protein is a recombinant protein comprising amino acid sequences from at least two unrelated proteins that have been joined together, e.g., via a peptide bond, to make a single protein. The unrelated amino acid sequences can be joined directly to each other or they can be joined using a linker sequence. As used herein, proteins are unrelated, if their amino acid sequences are not found joined together via a peptide bond in their natural environment (e.g., inside a cell or viral particle). For example, the amino acid sequences of bacterial proteins such as ferritin and the amino acid sequences of coronavirus spike (S) glycoproteins are not naturally found joined together via a peptide bond. [0086] Polypeptides in a fusion protein can be joined or linked, e.g., by an amino acid linker such as a “glycine-serine” polypeptide or linker. A “glycine-serine” polypeptide or linker refers to a polypeptide or linker that comprises glycine and serine amino acids. In some aspects, all of the amino acids in a glycine-serine polypeptide or linker are either glycine or serine. [0087] As used herein a “nanoparticle” refers to a particle formed from self-assembling, monomeric subunit proteins with a diameter of tens of nanometers. For example, monomeric ferritin proteins self-assemble into ferritin nanoparticles. [0088] Ferritin is a 17 kilo Dalton (kD) protein that self-assembles into a spherical 24- unit (e.g., 8 trimers) capsid with a hollow core. SEQ ID NO:7 is an example of an amino acid sequence from a naturally occurring ferritin protein. The N-and C-termini of each ferritin monomer are positioned on the outer and inner core of the capsid, respectively. Ferritin nanoparticles have been discussed, for example, in WO 2018/045308, WO 2016/109792, WO 2018/183969, and WO 2013/044203, each of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0089] As used herein, the term “immunogenic” refers to the ability of a specific protein to elicit an immune response to the protein or fragment thereof. The immune response can also be active against a protein comprising an amino acid sequence having a high degree of identity (e.g., at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99%) with the protein or a fragment thereof. [0090] An “immune response” to a protein or nanoparticle provided herein can refer to a humoral and/or cellular immune response. A humoral immune response is mediated by antibodies and/or antigen-binding fragments thereof, including e.g., IgA or IgG antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof. A cellular immune response is medicated by white blood cells such as T-lymphocytes. [0091] As used herein, immune responses or antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof are “neutralizing” if they decrease the ability of (i) a coronavirus (e.g., SARS- CoV-2) or (ii) pseudovirus displaying a coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike protein, to enter the cytoplasm of a host cell and/or to express in the host cell a gene encoded in the coronavirus’ or pseudovirus’ genome (e.g., a viral, pseudoviral, or reporter gene). The ability of antibodies or antigen-binding fragments to “neutralize” a coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) or pseudovirus can be assayed using the “PsVN” assay in Example 4 herein. [0092] The terms “immune globulin,” “immunoglobulin” and “antibody” refer to a protein that recognizes and specifically binds to a target, such as a protein, polypeptide, peptide, carbohydrate, polynucleotide, lipid, or combinations of the foregoing through at least one antigen recognition site within the variable region of the immunoglobulin molecule. As used herein, the terms “immune globulin” and “antibody” encompasses intact polyclonal immune globulins, human immune globulins, and any other modified immunoglobulin molecule so long as the immune globulins exhibit the desired biological activity. An immune globulin can be of any the classes: e.g., IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, or subclasses (isotypes) thereof (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1 and IgA2), based on the identity of their heavy-chain constant domains referred to as alpha, delta, epsilon, gamma, and mu, respectively. The different classes of immunoglobulins have different subunit structures and three-dimensional configurations. [0093] The term “monoclonal antibodies,” as used herein, refers to antibodies that are produced by a single clone of B-cells and bind to the same epitope. In contrast, the term “polyclonal antibodies” refers to a population of antibodies that are produced by different B-cells and bind to different epitopes of the same antigen (e.g., different epitopes of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2). [0094] The term “mixture” as used herein refers to a combination of at least two different components, e.g., a mixture of antibodies refers to at least two unique antibodies. The antibodies can differ e.g., based on their sequence, the target to which they bind, and/or the epitope to which they bind within the target. [0095] The term “antibody fragment” or “immune globulin fragment” refers to a portion of an intact antibody. An “antigen-binding fragment,” “antigen-binding domain,” or “antigen-binding region,” refers to a portion of an intact antibody that binds to an antigen. An antigen-binding fragment can contain the antigenic determining regions of an intact antibody or immune globulin (e.g., the complementarity determining regions (CDR)). Examples of antigen-binding fragments of antibodies include, but are not limited to Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, and Fv fragments, linear antibodies, and single chain antibodies. An antigen-binding fragment of an antibody can be derived from any animal species, such as horses and humans, or can be artificially produced. [0096] As used herein, the terms “variable region” or “variable domain” are used interchangeably and are common in the art. The variable region typically refers to a portion of an antibody, generally, a portion of a light or heavy chain, typically about the amino-terminal 110 to 120 amino acids or 110 to 125 amino acids in the mature heavy chain and about 90 to 115 amino acids in the mature light chain, which differ extensively in sequence among antibodies and are used in the binding and specificity of a particular antibody for its particular antigen. The variability in sequence is concentrated in those regions called complementarity determining regions (CDRs) while the more highly conserved regions in the variable domain are called framework regions (FR). Without wishing to be bound by any particular mechanism or theory, it is believed that the CDRs of the light and heavy chains are primarily responsible for the interaction and specificity of the antibody with antigen. [0097] The terms “VL” and “VL domain” are used interchangeably to refer to the light chain variable region of an antibody. [0098] The terms “VH” and “VH domain” are used interchangeably to refer to the heavy chain variable region of an antibody. [0099] As used herein, the term “constant region” or “constant domain” are interchangeable and have its meaning common in the art. The constant region is an antibody portion, e.g., a carboxyl terminal portion of a light and/or heavy chain which is not directly involved in binding of an antibody to antigen but which can exhibit various effector functions, such as interaction with the Fc receptor. The constant region of an immunoglobulin molecule generally has a more conserved amino acid sequence relative to an immunoglobulin variable domain. [0100] As used herein, the term “heavy chain” when used in reference to an antibody can refer to any distinct type, e.g., alpha (α), delta (δ), epsilon (ε), gamma (γ), and mu (µ), based on the amino acid sequence of the constant domain, which give rise to IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM classes of antibodies, respectively, including subclasses of IgG, e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. Heavy chain amino acid sequences are well known in the art. [0101] As used herein, the term “light chain” when used in reference to an antibody can refer to any distinct type, e.g., kappa (κ) or lambda (λ) based on the amino acid sequence of the constant domains. Light chain amino acid sequences are well known in the art. [0102] As used herein, the terms “immunospecifically binds,” “immunospecifically recognizes,” “specifically binds,” and “specifically recognizes” are analogous terms in the context of antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof. These terms indicate that the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof binds to an epitope via its antigen-binding domain and that the binding entails some complementarity between the antigen binding domain and the epitope. Accordingly, for example, an antibody that “specifically binds” a coronavirus spike protein may be able to bind to one or more of SARS-CoV, MERS, and/or SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins, but the extent of binding to a virus not belonging to the family Coronaviridae’ is less than about 10% of the binding of the antibody to the coronavirus spike protein(s), e.g., as determined by bio-layer interferometry (BLI or “Octet”). Similarly, an antibody that “specifically binds” a modified coronavirus spike protein may also be able to bind a wild-type version of the coronavirus spike protein, but the binding to a virus not belonging to the family Coronaviridae’ is less than about 10% of the binding of the antibody to the coronavirus spike protein(s), e.g., by BLI. [0103] “Binding affinity” generally refers to the strength of the sum total of non-covalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an immune globulin or antigen-binding fragment thereof) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen). Unless indicated otherwise, as used herein, “binding affinity” refers to intrinsic binding affinity which reflects a 1:1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., immune globulin or antigen-binding fragment thereof and antigen). The affinity of a molecule X for its partner Y can generally be represented by the dissociation constant (KD). Affinity can be measured and/or expressed in a number of ways known in the art, including, but not limited to, equilibrium dissociation constant (KD), and equilibrium association constant (KA). The KD is calculated from the quotient of koff/kon, whereas KA is calculated from the quotient of kon/koff. kon refers to the association rate constant of, e.g., an immune globulin or antigen-binding fragment thereof to an antigen, and koff refers to the dissociation of, e.g., an immune globulin or antigen-binding fragment thereof from an antigen. The kon and koff can be determined by techniques known to one of ordinary skill in the art, such as BIAcore® or KinExA. [0104] A polypeptide, antibody, polynucleotide, vector, cell, or composition which is "isolated" is a polypeptide, antibody, polynucleotide, vector, cell, or composition which is in a form not found in nature. Isolated polypeptides, antibodies, polynucleotides, vectors, cells, or compositions include those which have been purified to a degree that they are no longer in a form in which they are found in nature. In some aspects provided herein, an antibody, polynucleotide, vector, cell, or composition which is isolated is substantially pure. As used herein, "substantially pure" refers to material which is at least 50% pure (i.e., free from contaminants), at least 90% pure, at least 95% pure, at least 98% pure, or at least 99% pure. [0105] The terms "polypeptide," "peptide," and "protein" are used interchangeably herein to refer to polymers of amino acids of any length. The polymer can be linear or branched, it can comprise modified amino acids, and it can be interrupted by non-amino acids. The terms also encompass an amino acid polymer that has been modified naturally or by intervention; for example, disulfide bond formation, glycosylation, lipidation, acetylation, phosphorylation, or any other manipulation or modification, such as conjugation with a labeling component. Also included within the definition are, for example, polypeptides containing one or more analogs of an amino acid (including, for example, unnatural amino acids, etc.), as well as other modifications known in the art. [0106] As used herein, the term “host cell” can be any type of cell, e.g., a primary cell, a cell in culture, or a cell from a cell line. In some aspects, the term “host cell” refers to a cell transfected with a nucleic acid molecule and the progeny or potential progeny of such a cell. Progeny of such a cell may not be identical to the parent cell transfected with the nucleic acid molecule, e.g., due to mutations or environmental influences that may occur in succeeding generations or integration of the nucleic acid molecule into the host cell genome. [0107] The term "pharmaceutical formulation" refers to a preparation which is in such form as to permit the biological activity of the active ingredient to be effective, and which contains no additional components which are unacceptably toxic to a subject to which the formulation would be administered. The formulation can be sterile. [0108] As used herein, the terms “treatment,” “treating,” and the like, refer to obtaining a desired therapeutic pharmacologic and/or physiologic effect, i.e., the effect partially or completely cures an infection and/or adverse symptom attributable to the infection. In one aspect, the therapeutic effect is preventing an increase in severity of an infection and/or adverse symptom attributable to the infection. [0109] A “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve a desired therapeutic result (e.g., treatment of an infection). [0110] A “prophylactically effective amount” refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve a desired prophylactic result (e.g., prevention of infection or disease onset). [0111] “Decrease” or “reduce” refers to a decrease or a reduction in a particular value of at least 5%, for example, a 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or 100% decrease as compared to a reference value. [0112] “Increase” refers to an increase in a particular value of at least 5%, for example, a 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99%, 100%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 500%, or more increase as compared to a reference value. [0113] A “vaccine” refers to a pharmaceutical composition that elicits a prophylactic or therapeutic immune response in a subject. In some cases, the immune response is a protective immune response. Typically, a vaccine elicits an antigen-specific immune response to an antigen of a pathogen, for example a viral pathogen, or to a cellular constituent correlated with a pathological condition. A vaccine can include a polynucleotide (such as a nucleic acid encoding a disclosed antigen), a polypeptide (such as a disclosed antigen), a virus, a cell, or one or more cellular constituents. In some aspects provided herein, vaccines, vaccine immunogens, vaccine compositions are expressed from fusion constructs and self-assembled into nanoparticles displaying an immunogen polypeptide (e.g., a modified coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptide) on the surface. [0114] As used herein the term “adjuvant” refers to a substance that enhances a subject’s immune response to an antigen, e.g., a coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptide, a modified coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptide, a trimer thereof, or a nanoparticle comprising a modified coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptide. [0115] The terms “administer,” “administering,” “administration,” and the like, as used herein, refer to methods that can be used to enable delivery of a composition (e.g., a therapeutic or prophylactic composition comprising a mixture of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and/or antigen-binding fragments thereof) to the desired site of biological action (e.g., intravenous administration). Administration techniques that can be employed with the agents and methods described herein are found in e.g., Goodman and Gilman, The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, current edition, Pergamon; and Remington’s, Pharmaceutical Sciences, current edition, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. [0116] As used herein, the terms “subject” and “patient” are used interchangeably. The subject can be an animal. In some aspects, the subject is a mammal such as a non-human animal (e.g., cow, pig, horse, cat, dog, rat, mouse, monkey, or other primate, etc.). In some aspects, the subject is a horse. In some aspects, the subject is a human. [0117] The terms “exposed,” “exposure,” and the like refer to a subject that has come into contact with a person or animal that is known to be infected with a coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2). [0118] As used in the present disclosure and claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. [0119] It is understood that wherever aspects are described herein with the language “comprising,” otherwise analogous aspects described in terms of “consisting of” and/or “consisting essentially of” are also provided. In this disclosure, "comprises," "comprising," "containing" and "having" and the like can mean "includes," "including," and the like; "consisting essentially of" or "consists essentially" are open-ended, allowing for the presence of more than that which is recited so long as basic or novel characteristics of that which is recited is not changed by the presence of more than that which is recited, but excludes prior art aspects. [0120] Unless specifically stated or obvious from context, as used herein, the term "or" is understood to be inclusive. The term "and/or" as used in a phrase such as "A and/or B" herein is intended to include both "A and B," "A or B," "A," and "B."

It is understood that wherever aspects are described herein with the language “about” or “approximately” a numeric value or range, otherwise analogous aspects referring to the specific numeric value or range (without “about”) are also provided. [0122] Any polynucleotides, proteins, nanoparticles, compositions, and/or methods provided herein can be combined with one or more of any of the other polynucleotides, proteins, nanoparticles, compositions, and/or methods provided herein. Spike Polypeptides and Fragments Thereof [0123] Coronavirus entry into host cells is mediated by the transmembrane spike (S) glycoprotein (Walls et al., Cell 180:1-12 (2020)). The spike protein contains two functional subunits: the S1 and S2 subunits. The S1 subunit binds to the host cell receptor and contains the receptor binding domain (RBD), which recognizes the human receptor angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). The S2 subunit fuses the viral and host cell membranes. The spike protein can be cleaved at the boundary between the S1 and S2 subunits, which can then remain non-covalently bound, e.g., in a “prefusion” conformation. A coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptide or fragment thereof can comprise amino acids 16-1273 of SEQ ID NO:5 or amino acids 16-1208 of SEQ ID NO:5.

In some aspects, a modified coronavirus spike polypeptide or fragment thereof is isolated. [0140] In some aspects, a modified coronavirus spike polypeptide or fragment thereof provided herein is capable of eliciting an immune response to the modified spike polypeptide and/or a wild-type spike polypeptide (e.g., a polypeptide comprising amino acids 16-1273 of SEQ ID NO:5) in a mammal (e.g., a horse and/or a human). The immune response can be an immune response capable of neutralizing a wild-type coronavirus (e.g., wild-type SARS-CoV-2) in an in vitro infection assay. The immune response can, for example, be neutralizing antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof or T-cells. Multimers Comprising Spike Polypeptides [0141] Naturally occurring coronavirus spike (S) polypeptides form trimers that protrude from the viral surface and mediate entry into host cells. The trimers contain N-linked glycans that are important for proper folding. As discussed above, the naturally-occurring trimers are able to adopt multiple conformations, and mutations in the spike polypeptides can stabilize a pre-fusion conformation. [0142] Accordingly, provided herein are trimers comprising a modified coronavirus spike polypeptide or fragment thereof. The trimer can be a homotrimer, comprising three identical monomeric units, or a heterotrimer, wherein the three monomeric units are not all identical. [0143] Also provided herein are compositions comprising multiple (e.g., at least 2 or at least 10) trimers comprising modified spike polypeptides or fragments thereof. In such compositions, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% of the trimers can be in a pre-fusion conformation.

[0146] In some aspects, a multimer (e.g., a trimer) provided herein is capable of eliciting an immune response to the multimer (e.g., a trimer), the modified spike polypeptide in the multimer (e.g., a trimer), and/or a wild-type spike polypeptide (e.g., a polypeptide comprising amino acids 16-1273 of SEQ ID NO:5) in a mammal (e.g., a horse and/or a human). The immune response can be an immune response capable of neutralizing a wild-type coronavirus (e.g., wild-type SARS-CoV-2) in an in vitro infection assay. The immune response can, for example, be neutralizing antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof or T-cells. Fusion Proteins Comprising Spike Polypeptides [0147] Also provided herein are fusion proteins comprising coronavirus (e.g., SARS- CoV-2) spike polypeptides and fragments thereof or modified coronavirus (e.g., SARS- CoV-2) spike polypeptides and fragments thereof. The coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptides and fragments thereof and modified coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptides and fragments thereof can be fused, for example, to a scaffold protein which allows for self-assembly. In some aspects, a coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptide or fragment thereof or a modified coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptide or fragment thereof is fused to a ferritin polypeptide or fragment thereof. [0148] Ferritin is a globular/spherical protein found in animals, bacteria, and plants. It can act to control the rate and location of hydrated iron ions and proteins to form a mineralized core. The globular/spherical form of ferritin is made up of monomeric ferritin proteins, which can have, e.g., the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:7. Each monomeric ferritin protein has the topology of a helix bundle which includes a four antiparallel helix motif, with a shorter helix (the c-terminal helix) lying perpendicular to the long axis of the 4-helix bundle. According to convention, the helices are labeled, A, B, C, D, and E from the N-terminus. The N-terminal sequence lies adjacent to the nanoparticle 3-fold axis and extends to the surface, while the E helics pack together at the four-fold axis with the C-terminus extending into the particle core. The consequence of this packing creates two pores on the nanoparticle surface. It is believed that one or both of these pores represent the point by which the hydrated iron diffuse into and out of the nanoparticle. Following production, these monomeric ferritin proteins self-assemble into the globular/spherical ferritin protein. Thus, the globular/spherical form of ferritin comprises 24 monomeric ferritin proteins and has a capsid-like structure. [0149] In some aspects, the ferritin polypeptide or fragment thereof is a Helicobacter pylori ferritin polypeptide or fragment thereof. [0150] In some aspects, the ferritin polypeptide or fragment thereof is capable of directing self-assembly of monomeric ferritin subunits into the globular/spherical form of the protein. [0151] In some aspects, the ferritin polypeptide or fragment thereof (e.g., H. pylori ferritin polypeptide or fragment thereof) comprises a mutation that removes a potential glycosylation site, e.g., a potential N-linked glycosylation site. The potential glycosylation site (e.g., N-linked glycosylation site) can be one that is glycosylated when the ferritin is expressed as a secreted protein in mammalian or yeast cells. In some aspects, the H. pylori ferritin polypeptide or fragment thereof comprises a mutation of the amino acid corresponding to N19 in SEQ ID NO:7. In some aspects, the amino acid corresponding to N19 in SEQ ID NO:7 is substituted with a glutamine (Q). [0152] In some aspects, the ferritin polypeptide or fragment thereof comprises an N- terminal truncation. In some aspects, the ferritin polypeptide or fragment thereof does not comprise amino acids 1-2, 1-3, or 1-4 of SEQ ID NO:7.

[0155] In a protein comprising a modified coronavirus spike polypeptide (e.g., a SARS- CoV-2 spike polypeptide) or fragment thereof and a ferritin polypeptide or fragment thereof, the modified coronavirus spike polypeptide or fragment thereof is C-terminal to the ferritin polypeptide or fragment thereof. [0156] The modified coronavirus spike polypeptide (e.g., a SARS-CoV-2 spike polypeptide) or fragment thereof and the ferritin polypeptide or fragment thereof can be fused directly (e.g., through a peptide bond) or can be connected via a linker (e.g., a peptide linker). A linker can be about 2 to about 10 amino acids in length. A linker can be about 2 to about 5 amino acids in length. A linker can be about 2 to about 4 amino acids in length.

Uses of Modified Spike Polypeptides, Fusion Proteins, Trimers, and Nanoparticles [0206] As provided herein, a modified coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptide, a fusion protein thereof, a trimer comprising such a modified spike polypeptide or fusion protein, or a nanoparticle comprising such a modified spike polypeptide or fusion protein described herein can be used to vaccinate an animal, e.g., such that the animal produces an immune response against the polypeptide, fusion protein, trimer, or nanoparticle. The immune response can be a B-cell response, which results in the production of antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof against the polypeptide, fusion protein, trimer, or nanoparticle. In one aspect, the immune response comprises antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof that immunospecifically bind to the pre-fusion conformation of a modified coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptide. The immune response can be capable of neutralizing wild-type and/or pseudovirus coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) in an in vitro infection assay. The animal can be, for example, a horse, a sheep, a goat, a camel, a cow, or a human. In some aspects, the animal is a horse. [0207] The immune response of an animal vaccinated with a modified coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptide, fusion protein, trimer, or nanoparticle are also provided herein can be isolated to produce an isolated composition. For example, antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof produced in response to a modified coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptide, fusion protein, trimer, or nanoparticle provided herein (e.g., a gamma globulin (IgG) fraction of a vaccinated animal’s plasma) can be isolated from the animal to produce an isolated composition.

[0208] Accordingly, compositions comprising antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof produced by an animal (e.g., a horse) in response to a modified coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptide, fusion protein, trimer, or nanoparticle are also provided herein. Such a composition can be isolated. In some aspects, such a composition comprises an increased percentage of antibodies or antigen-binding fragments that bind to the pre-fusion conformation of a coronavirus spike polypeptide as compared to a mixture of antibodies or antigen-binding fragments produced using a wild-type coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptide or fragment thereof (e.g., by vaccinating an animal such a horse with a wild-type coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) spike polypeptide or fragment thereof.

The composition can be administered repeatedly (e.g., at least twice) or as a single dose. The administration can increase the anti-coronavirus antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof (e.g., anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof) in the subject by at least 2-fold, by at least 3-fold, by at least 4-fold, or by at least 5-fold. The administration can increase the patient’s immunity to coronavirus (e.g., to SARS-CoV-2), promote clearance of the coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2), and or decreases the severity of a symptom of coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) infection. [0210] In some aspects, the subject is human. In some aspects, the subject is hospitalized. In some aspects, the subject is in an intensive care unit. Examples [0211] The examples in this Examples Section are offered by way of illustration, and not by way of limitation. Example 1: Design, expression, and purification of SARS-CoV-2 nanoparticles [0212] An expression plasmid was prepared (SEQ ID NO:1) containing the coding sequence for a modified SARS-CoV-2 spike protein amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO:2; amino acids 16-1,208 of SEQ ID NO:2 correspond to the mature protein (lacking the leader sequence)) fused to a H. pylori ferritin amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO:3) with an intervening amino acid linker (SEQ ID NO:4). In SEQ ID NO:1, the coding sequence for the SARS-CoV-2 spike is nucleotides 905-4528 and ferritin is 4538-5032. The plasmid of SEQ ID NO:1 was prepared from a 4128 base pair synthetic construct cloned into the pcDNA3.1(-) expression vector that uses a CMV promoter for expression in mammalian cells. The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein has 3 key mutations compared to the reference sequence QHD43416.1: R685A, K986P, and V987P. The R685A mutation is designed to reduce furin cleavage at the S1/S2 cleavage site to restrict the variability of conformations that the spike can adopt (Walls et al., Cell 180: 1-12 (2020), which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety, discusses cleavage of the spike protein by furin). The K986P and V987P mutations are designed to stabilize the stem in a pre-fusion conformation (D. Wrapp et al., Science 10.1126/science.abb2507 (2020) and Pallesen et al., PNAS: E7348-E7357 (2017), each of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). Additionally the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein sequence is truncated at residue Q1208, at which point a linker peptide GSG (SEQ ID NO:4) is inserted between the carboxy terminus of the SARS-CoV-2 spike and the amino terminus of H. pylori ferritin. The H. pylori ferritin scaffold corresponds to amino acids 5-167 of sequence WP_000949190.1 and contains an N19Q mutation (as numbered in the reference sequence) as well as a C-terminal SGS sequence (Figure 1). This N19Q mutation eliminates a potential glycosylation site to ensure that glycosylation does not disrupt nanoparticle formation, spike conformation, or accessibility of the spike to antibodies. [0213] Expression of the SARS-CoV-2 spike:ferritin fusion protein was achieved by transfecting HEK293F (hereafter referred to as 293F) cells or Expi293™ cells (both cell lines from Thermo Fisher Scientific) with the expression plasmid described above. 293F cells banked in CD293 medium were transfected using PEI Max from Polysciences without a medium exchange by splitting the cells 1:5 with Freestyle™ 293 medium and monitoring cell density so that it stayed below 3x106 cells/mL. Cultures were then scaled up to 10 L using Freestyle 293 medium. Expi293 cells were transfected directly in Expi293 expression medium. [0214] The ferritin portion of the fusion protein enables the spontaneous assembly of a nanoparticle that incorporates 24 SARS-CoV-2 spike:ferritin monomers. The nature of nanoparticle assembly in this way is designed to allow for trimers of the SARS-CoV-2 spike to assemble at the vertex of every three monomers; eight such trimers are intended to occur on each nanoparticle (Figure 1). Each SARS-CoV-2 spike:ferritin monomer has a predicted molecular weight of 153 kDa, and each SARS-CoV-2 spike:ferritin nanoparticle has a predicted molecular weight of 3,672 kDa, or 3.7 MDa. The predicted isolelectric point (pI) is 5.88, and the predicted charge at neutral pH is -31.70. [0215] On day 5 post-transfection, cell culture medium was harvested and sterile filtered. Supernatants were diluted 1:3 with NanoPure™ water supplemented with 1M HEPES, pH 7.5. In some cases, tangential flow filtration and diafiltration were used to concentrate the filtered medium to one-tenth of the initial volume and buffer exchange into Q Sepharose® High Performance equilibration buffer. Ultimately, nanoparticles were batch-bound to Q Sepharose High Performance resin overnight at 2-8 °C while shaking. The resin was concentrated by removing the supernatant after settling and after applying the resin to a 0.45 µm filter. Anion exchange chromatography (AEX) was performed by running a linear gradient from 0-100% 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5 + 1 M NaCl to elute nanoparticles from the resin. Fractions were collected and analyzed by SDS- PAGE under reducing conditions followed by Western blotting. Immunoreactivity was determined using a cross-reactive polyclonal rabbit anti-SARS CoV-1 spike antibody followed by probing with an anti-Rb IgG alkaline phosphatase antibody. Blots were developed using 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-phosphate/nitro blue tetrazolium (BCIP/NBT) substrate. Expression of the construct in Expi293 cells was confirmed under these electrophoresis conditions (Figure 2), but this method was not sufficient to determine whether or not particles containing a multiplicity of monomers were forming. [0216] To better determine whether or not particles were forming, AEX fractions from expression in Expi293 were separated by native PAGE on a 3-12% precast gel. After electrophoresis, samples were transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane. Membranes were blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and probed with a rabbit polyclonal ferritin antiserum and detected with an anti-rabbit secondary conjugated to alkaline phosphatase. Blots were developed with an BCIP/NBT substrate. In Figure 3, the upper row of blots show the distribution of immunoreactive material produced in Expi293 cells fractionated by AEX. High molecular weight (MW) immunoreactive species were clearly visible throughout AEX fractionation. The exact MW could not be determined as there are no commercially available MW standards for proteins or nanoparticles of this size. The SARS-CoV-2 nanoparticles migrate behind the highest MW standard used in these assays (1236 kDa; NativeMark™ Unstained Protein Standard), so the retarded migration pattern and single high MW immunoreactive species indicate that nanoparticles are forming and migrating in accordance with the predicted MW of 3.7 MDa. Lower MW immunoreactive material was also present, possibly corresponding to partially assembled nanoparticles. Immunoreactivity of material to the ferritin antiserum in the AEX fractions demonstrates that a high MW protein species is produced in the expression cultures and demonstrates that the ferritin core of the nanoparticle is assembled. As a comparison, expressions in 293F cells were performed. AEX fractions from 293F expressions demonstrated a more homogeneous high MW species throughout the AEX fractionation (Figure 3, lower blots). Expression in 293F cells was judged to be superior to expression in Expi293 in terms of a lack of, or less, lower MW contaminants from 293F cells. [0217] Material produced in 293F cells was pooled after AEX on the basis of immunoreactivity as determined by native PAGE followed by Western blot. Pooled material was concentrated using 100 kDa spin filters prior to fractionation by size exclusion chromatography over HiLoad® Superdex® S-20026/60 columns. Fractions collected by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) were analyzed by native PAGE followed by native Western blotting as described above (Figure 4). In Figure 4, the image on the left displays representative results of native PAGE after AEX fractionation, and the image on the right shows the distribution of immunoreactive fractions. In some cases, fractions were pooled on the basis of demonstrable immunoreactivity after SEC. In other cases, dynamic light scattering (DLS) was also used to inform the pooling strategy. Final pools, in 1x PBS, were supplemented with 80 mg/mL sucrose and frozen at -80 °C. Example 2: Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 nanoparticle [0218] Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to confirm the presence of nanoparticles expressed in 293F cells in pooled SEC fractions after AEX. Samples were diluted 1:3 with DH2O and adsorbed to glow discharged ultrathin carbon coated copper grids for 2 minutes. After a brief series of DH2O rinses, grids were negatively stained in 0.75% uranyl formate for 2 minutes, blotted with filter paper, and aspirated dry. Grids were viewed on a Hitachi H7600 TEM operating at 80 kV with 200,000x magnification. Images were digitized on an ER-50-5megapixel CCD camera. SARS-CoV-2 nanoparticle ferritin cores were measured to have a diameter of about 11-17 nm (Figure 5). [0219] SARS-CoV-2 nanoparticles produced in Expi293 cells were purified as described using AEX and SEC. Distinct immunoreactive fractions eluted during AEX and formulated in 1x PBS were analyzed by DLS to determine the diameter of the particle species. DLS measurements were made at a 173° angle backscatter with the dispersant set as water. The material in the various fractions had a range of diameters (23.7-99.8 nm) (Table 1). On the basis of the various diameters measured, the eluate fractions from SEC were combined into three pools as identified in Table 1. The fractions comprising pool 1 had an average diameter of 30.3 nm; pool 2 fractions had an average diameter of 53.2 nm; and pool 3 had an average diameter of 85.2 nm. Table 1:

[0220] An intact and accessible receptor-binding domain (RBD) on the SARS-CoV-2 spike was confirmed by native Western blot and bio-layer interferometry (BLI) using material produced in Expi293 cells for both methods. It was not known if inactivation of the furin cleavage site would still allow the RBD to remain accessible since furin cleavage in the wild-type spike increases accessibility of the RBD. 3 µg of two different pool 1 and 2 fractions of purified nanoparticles were separated by native PAGE on a 3- 12% precast gel. After electrophoresis, samples were transferred to a PVDF membrane. Membranes were blocked with 3% BSA, probed with the previously mentioned rabbit polyclonal anti-ferritin antiserum, and detected with an anti-rabbit secondary conjugated to alkaline phosphatase. Blots were developed with an BCIP/NBT substrate. Alternatively, membranes were probed with recombinant human ACE2 bearing an in vitro BirA-biotinylated Avitag, detected with a streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase reagent, and developed with BCIP/NBT. Blots probed with the anti-ferritin antiserum showed reactivity to a protein species of high molecular weight. An H. pylori ferritin nanoparticle without a fusion protein was used as a reference marker; this particle has a molecular weight of 456 kDa, and the SARS-CoV-2 nanoparticle migrates behind this reference point in the gel (Figure 6). Similarly, the blots probed with rACE2 demonstrated a high MW protein species, confirming that the particles bear an intact and accessible RBD. [0221] Additional confirmation of an intact and accessible RBD was attained by BLI. C- terminal His-tagged ACE2 at 8 µg/mL was immobilized on HIS1K biosensors for 180 seconds followed by a 120 s baseline. Three pools of SARS-CoV-2 nanoparticles were assayed for ACE2 binding for 200 s. Each pool, regardless of size identified by DLS (Table 1), was able to associate with immobilized ACE2 (Figure 7). Collectively, the native Western blot, TEM, and BLI data confirm that the SARS-CoV-2 – ferritin fusion protein spontaneously assembles into a nanoparticle and contains an RBD that is accessible. Example 3: Immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 nanoparticles [0222] The SARS-CoV-2 nanoparticle was tested for its immunogenicity in Equus ferus caballus, the domesticated horse. 0.5 mg of the formulated SARS-CoV-2 nanoparticle (in 1x PBS with 80 mg/mL sucrose) produced in Expi293 cells was mixed 1:1 with Sigma Adjuvant System® oil and administered in a 1 mL volume via the intradermal route. Horses were boosted every 21 days with the same dose and adjuvant. Blood was drawn every seven days and seroconversion was measured by a Luminex®-based assay against the SARS-CoV-2 spike trimer (QHD43416.1, amino acids 16-1213; R683A, R685A), the SARS-CoV-2 S1 subunit (YP _009724390.1, amino acids 16-685), and the SARS-CoV-2 RBD (QHD43416.1, amino acids 319-541; N354D, D364Y). SARS-CoV-2 antigens were coupled to magnetic beads by amine-reactive chemistry and used together in a multiplex assay. Serum was assayed at 1/400 and 1/800 dilutions. Serum equine IgG reactive to the previously mentioned SARS-CoV-2 spike antigens bound the SARS-CoV- 2 antigen on the magnetic beads. Reactive equine IgG was detected using a combination of anti-equine IgG F(ab’)2-biotin and streptavidin-PE reagents. Median fluorescent intensity values were measured to determine seropositivity against the aforementioned antigens. All three of the vaccinated horses (COVI906, COVI907, and COVI908) demonstrated seroconversion against each of the three antigens (Table 2 and Figure 8). Reactivity was highest in magnitude against the SARS-CoV-2 trimer and RBD antigens as determined by MFI. Table 2:

Example 4: Neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 Pseudovirus [0223] Serum drawn on day 28 post-vaccination from a vaccinated horse, COVI908, was assayed for its ability to neutralize a pseudovirus bearing the SARS-CoV-2 spike as well as expressing a luciferase reporter gene. The pseudovirus was assembled by co- transfection of Tat, Gag, Pol, Rev, and TMPRSS2 genes, along with a lentivirus backbone that carried the luciferase gene and a plasmid encoding for the SARS-CoV-2 spike (accession ID YP_009724390). To determine a neutralization titer, the following “PsVN” assay was performed: serial 1:2 dilutions of COVI908 serum were prepared and pre-incubated with a concentration of pseudovirus that produces a suitable infectious titer in each assay well (100TCID50). The sample and virus mixture were combined with cells expressing the ACE-2 receptor. The SARS-CoV-2 spike binds to the ACE-2 receptor, allowing for the entry of the pseudovirus into the host cell. The inoculum was incubated on ACE-2-expressing cells for 65 hours. The number of virus-infected cells was correlated to the luciferase gene expression measured by luminescence intensity (relative luminescence units, RLU). Luciferase activity was measured by the Bright-Glo™ luciferase assay system (Promega). Neutralization was measured by the reduction in luminescence signal. Neutralization was calculated by fitting the luciferase signal to a non-linear curve to determine the 50% neutralizing (EC50) titer. Relative potency was determined by a constrained curve fit of the sample and standard with potency calculated by dividing the EC50 of the sample with the EC50 of the standard. The standard for this assay was an immunoglobulin product manufactured from plasma of convalescent SARS- CoV-2 patients. [0224] Serum from horse COVI908 was calculated to have an EC50 of 521 (reciprocal of serum dilution) based on a 4 parameter logistic fit of the reduction in RLU as a function of serum dilution (Figure 9, open squares). When compared to a human SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma product with an EC50 of 515 (Figure 9, open circles), serum from horse COVI908 had a relative potency of 1.20.
