摘要:
The present invention provides a vaccine composition comprising the B-subunit of E. coli heat labile toxin or a derivative thereof with equal or greater than 90% homology complexed with an antigen and an adjuvant.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to methods of preventing reactivation of active and latent M. tuberculosis infections by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a nucleic acid encoding a Mtb72f fusion protein, or a Mtb72f fusion protein or an immunogenic fragment thereof, for example together with an adjuvant. The Mtb72f nucleic acid or fusion protein can be administered with one or more chemotherapeutic agents effective against a M. tuberculosis infection. The methods also provide for shortening the time course of a chemotherapeutic regimen against a M. tuberculosis infection.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions comprising proteins or polynucleotides of Chlamydia sp., in particular combinations of proteins or polynucleotides encoding them, and methods for the use of the proteins or polynucleotides in the treatment, prevention and diagnosis of Chlamydia infection.
摘要:
The present invention provides a novel treatment for allergy comprising the provision of a recombinant allergen with reduced enzymatic activity. Vaccines comprising said mutant allergens stimulate a Th1-type immune response in allergic or naïve individuals, thereby reducing the potential for an allergic response upon contact with wild-type allergen. Preferably said allergen is DerP1.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel antigenic compositions suitable for parenteral and mucosal administration, comprising an antigen within an aqueous medium and a carbohydrate, wherein the carbohydrate is in the form of a derivative which exhibits acidic moieties, preferably in the form of its carboxylic acid derivative. The antigenic compositions are in a stable solid form and, after reconstitution with a liquid excipient or adjuvant followed by administration through the parenteral or mucosal route, rapidly dissolve in the body fluids, thereby releasing the reconstituted vaccine into the body. Specifically, the lyophilized form may consist of a powder or a cake containing the antigen, preferably in an amorphous (glassy) state, which is formed from a liquid solution or suspension by drying or sublimation, preferably sublimation by lyophilisation.
摘要:
The present invention provides novel intradermal vaccines and novel uses for adjuvants in the preparation of intradermal vaccines, and also novel methods of treatment comprising them. The intradermal adjuvants, and methods, of the present invention comprise a saponin and a sterol, wherein the saponin and sterol are formulated in a liposome. The intradermal adjuvants are used in the manufacture of intradermal vaccines for humans, and in the intradermal treatment of humans.
摘要:
The present invention provides vaccine compositions comprising an oil in water emulsion optionally with 3 De-O-acylated monophosphoryl lipid A and QS21. The vaccines compositions are potent inducers of a range of immune responses.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of Gram-negative bacterial vaccine compositions, their manufacture, and the use of such compositions in medicine. More particularly it relates to the field of useful Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane vesicle (or bleb) compositions comprising heterologously expressed Chlamydia antigens, and advantageous methods of rendering these compositions more effective and safer as a vaccine.
