摘要:
In a first aspect, the present invention relates to the use of a TLR 9 agonist and/or a TLR 4 agonist in a prophylactic or therapeutic vaccine. According to the present vaccination strategy, the TLR 9 agonist and/or TLR 4 agonist is adapted or designed for use as a multiplying jump agent to enhance numbers and functionality of CD8 T cells in a prime-jump vaccination strategy for jump T cell expansion. In particular, the TLR 9 agonist and/or TLR 4 agonist is used as a component to be administered after priming of the individual to be vaccinated. The vaccination strategy is particularly useful against acute and chronic infections with intracellular pathogens or for anti-tumor vaccination. In another aspect, the present invention relates to a kit of part containing a prime agent and a multiplying jump agent according to the present invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a polypeptide comprising (a) a first set of six complementarity determining regions (CDRs) configured to bind a first antigen; and (b) (ba) a second set of six CDRs configured to bind a second antigen; or (bb) a ligand capable of binding to a second antigen; wherein (i) said first antigen is selected from Hepatitis B virus (HBV) small surface antigen; HBV medium surface antigen; and HBV large surface antigen; and (ii) said second antigen is selected from surface antigens presented by immune effector cells such as natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Also provided are compositions for use in a method of treating or preventing HBV infection and/or a condition caused by said HBV infection, said condition caused by said HBV infection being selected from liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an improved recombinant vaccination vector for the treatment or vaccination against hepatitis B virus (HBV) as well as pharmaceutical compositions or vaccines comprising said recombinant vaccination vector. The present invention also relates to a recombinant vaccination vector for use in a method of vaccination against HBV, as well as kits comprising a vaccine comprising the recombinant vaccination vector.

The present invention relates to compounds and compositions for use in methods of treating and/or preventing conditions, disorders or diseases that are mediated or caused by a virus.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a binding molecule comprising at least three binding specificities, wherein (a) the first specificity is for a Hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen selected from HBV small surface antigen, HBV medium surface antigen and HBV large surface antigen; (b) (i) the second and third specificity are for CD3 and CD28, respectively; or (ii) the second and third specificity are selected from specificities for CD16, CD56, NKp30, NKp46, 4-1BB and NKG2D; and (c) each binding specificity is provided by one or more binding sites, each binding site being independently provided by (i) a set of six complementarity determining regions (CDRs), wherein said set of six CDRs consists of a first set of three CDRs and a second set of three CDRs, wherein said first and said second set is each comprised in an immunoglobulin domain; or (ii) a set of three CDRs, wherein said set of three CDRs is comprised in an immunoglobulin domain.
