摘要:
The present invention provides novel DNA constructs comprising a transcriptional regulatory sequence comprising a polynucleotide derivable from the eIF4A1 gene promoter. In preferred embodiments, the polynucleotide further comprises a polynucleotide derivable from the eIF4A gene introns, particularly intron 1. Host cells harbouring the constructs are also provided. These novel constructs have applications in gene therapy, DNA vaccines and in the commercial production of proteins.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the provision of novel medicaments for the treatment, prevention or amelioration of allergic disease. In particular, the novel medicaments are epitopes or mimotopes derived from the Cε3 or Cε4 domains of IgE. These novel regions may be the target for both passive and active immunoprophylaxis or immunotherapy. The invention further relates to methods for production of the medicaments, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in medicine. Also forming an aspect of the present invention are ligands, especially monoclonal antibodies, which are capable of binding the IgE regions of the present invention, and their use in medicine as passive immunotherapy or immunoprophylaxis.
摘要:
Novel herpes simplex (HSV) vaccine formulations are provided. These comprise HSV glycoprotein gD or immunological fragments in conjunction with 3 Deacylated monophosphoryl lipid A.
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 provides improved adjuvant compositions comprising QS21/3DMPL and Interleukin 12. These find utility in a range of prophylatic and therapeutic vaccines, including cancer vaccines.
摘要:
The invention relates to novel Borrelia, and OspA antigens derived therefrom. These antigens show little homology with known OspA's and are therefore useful as vaccine and diagnostic reagents. Multicomponent vaccines based on OspA's from different Borrelia groups are also disclosed.
