摘要:
The present invention relates, generally, to the fields of immunology and cellular biology. The invention discloses, more particularly, a new strategy of modulation of immune response based on the use of highly efficient non autologous antigen presenting and/or immunostimulatory system such as allogeneic antigen presenting cells. Invention thus relates to methods for preparing or selecting systems having high antigen presentation and/or immunostimulatory capacity for a given subject. The invention also discloses banks usable to select such systems as well as compositions comprising such systems, their preparation and uses.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one derivative of galactosylceramides, and at least one bile salt, such as sodium taurocholate or sodium deoxycholate. It also relates to a method for the preparation of said composition, comprising the co-solubilization of the derivative of galactosylceramides and the bile salt into a solvent, followed by the evaporation of said solvent.
摘要:
The immunogenicity of vaccines is enhanced by co-administering a synthetic glycolipid, designated PBS-57, with the vaccine. PBS-57 has the ability to stimulate both a cell-mediated and humoral immune response. Co-administration of PBS-57 with a vaccine may be used in methods to stimulate one or more of a humoral immune response, a CD4+ T cell response, and a CD8+ cytotoxic T cell response.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compounds consisting of glycolipids covalently bound to an antigen or a drug via a linker. The said compounds are able to induce a stronger immune response than a composition comprising separated glycolipids and antigen. The said compounds are also able to target drug to CD1d restricted cells.

The present invention relates to a vaccine composition comprising: - at least one prophylactically active agent against influenza, and - at least one adjuvant, said adjuvant being a derivative of a galactosylceramide, for use in the treatment of influenza.

摘要:
Compositions comprising the compound of formula are provided herein. Also provided are methods of enhancing an immune response of a subject to an antigen by administering the antigen and the composition. The enhanced immune response may be an humoral immune response, a CD4+ T cell response, a CD8+ T cell response or result in activation of antigen presenting cells. Methods of enhancing the immune response by intramuscular administration of an antigen and the composition including the compound of formula I are also provided.
