摘要:
The present invention relates to a vaccine composition comprising:(i) a peptide hydrogel that is a liquid at room temperature and a gel at physiological pH, physiological salt concentrations and/or physiological temperatures; and (ii) one or more antigens; wherein the peptide hydrogel comprises a self-assembling peptide selected from the group consisting of RAD16-I ((RADA)(4); (SEQ ID NO:2)), RAD16-II ((RARADADA)(2); (SEQ ID NO:3)), KFE-8 ((FKFE)(2); (SEQ ID NO:4)), and KLD-12 ((KLDL)(3)); (SEQ ID NO:5)).

摘要:
The present invention relates to immunogenic compositions and vaccines for the treatment and prevention of Neisserial disease. Immunogenic compositions of the invention contain combinations of antigens selected from at least two different classes of antigens including adhesins, autotransporter proteins, toxins, iron acquisitions proteins and membrane-associated protein (preferably integral outer membrane protein)s. Such combinations of antigens are able to target the immune response against different aspects of the neisserial life cycle, resulting in a more effective immune response.
摘要:
The present invention provides a human dose of an immunogenic composition comprising an antigen or antigenic preparation, in combination with an adjuvant which adjuvant comprises an immunologically active saponin fraction derived from the bark of Quillaja Saponaria Molina presented in the form of a liposome and a lipopolysaccharide wherein said saponin fraction and said lipopolysaccharide are both present in said human dose at a level of below 30µg. The present invention further provides an adjuvant composition in a human dose suitable volume comprising between 1 and 30 µg of a lipopolysaccharide and between 1 and 30 µg of an immunologically active saponin fraction presented in the form of a liposome.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of neisserial vaccine compositions, their manufacture, and the use of such compositions in medicine. More particularly it relates to processes of making novel engineered meningococcal strains which are more suitable for the production of neisserial, in particular meningococcal, outer-membrane vesicle (or bleb) vaccines. Advantageous processes and vaccine products are also described based on the use of novel LOS subunit or meningococcal outer-membrane vesicle (or bleb) vaccines which have been rendered safer and/or more effective for use in human subjects. In particular combinations of gene downregulations are described such as PorA & OpA, PorA and OpC, OpA and OpC, and PorA and OpA and OpC. The FrpB downregulation is also described. Alternatively, or in addition, IgtB - is shown to be an optimal mutation for effectively and safely using L3 and/or L2 LOS in Neisseria vaccine compositions. Bleb vaccines derived from IgtB - and capsular polysaccharide deficient meningococcal mutants are further described; as are advantageous methods of making bleb preparations where LOS is to be retained as an important antigen.
摘要:
A preparation of an antigen of one or more pathogenic bacterial species for use in treating a cancer in a specific organ, tissue or cell in a subject, wherein the pathogenic bacterial species is pathogenic in the corresponding specific organ, tissue or cell in a healthy subject. Suitably, the preparation comprises one or more attenuated bacteria.
