摘要:
The present invention relates, in general, to antibody-dependent cellular cytoxicity (ADCC)-mediating antibodies, and, in particular, to ADCC-mediating antibodies (and fragments thereof) suitable for use, for example, in reducing the risk of HIV-1 infection in a subject. The invention further relates to compositions comprising such antibodies or antibody fragents.
摘要:
The invention features a novel influenza antibody that specifically binds to influenza hemagglutinin and reduces or inhibits hemagglutinin binding to sialic acid. The invention also provides methods, compositions, and kits featuring the novel antibody and its use in preventing or treating influenza infection.
摘要:
In certain aspects the invention provides a selection of HIV- 1 envelopes suitable for use as immunogens, and methods of using these immunogens in vaccination to induce neutralizing antibodies. In certain embodiments, the immunogens are designed to trimerize. In other embodiments, the immunogens and methods of using these comprise an immune modulating component.
摘要:
The present invention relates, in general, to HIV-1 and, in particular, to methods of producing HIV- 1 envelope (Env) proteins, and subunits thereof, and to constructs suitable for use in such methods.
摘要:
The present invention relates, in general, to human immunodeficiency virus- ! (HIV- 1), and, in particular to a vaccine for HiV-l and to methods of making and using same. The present invention provides synthetic glycosylated HIV-1 peptides, method for their preparation and use.
摘要:
The present invention relates, in general, to an immunogenic composition (e.g., a vaccine) and, in particular, to a polyvalent immunogenic composition, such as a polyvalent HIV vaccine, and to methods of using same. The invention further relates to methods that use a genetic algorithm to create sets of polyvalent antigens suitable for use, for example, in vaccination strategies.
