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 isolated peptides incorporating epitopes or mimotopes of surface exposed regions of the Cε2 domain of IgE. The inventors have found that 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 surface exposed IgE regions of the present invention, and their use in medicine as passive immunotherapy or in immunoprophylaxis.
摘要:
Novel combined vaccine compositions are provided, comprising a herpes simplex virus (HSV) antigen and a HPV antigen and optionally in addition one or more of the following: an EBV antigen, a hepatitis A antigen or inactivated attenuated virus, a hepatitis B viral antigen, a VZV antigen, a HCMV antigen, a Toxoplasma gondii antigen. The vaccine compositions are formulated with an adjuvant which is a preferential stimulator of TH1 cell response such as 3D-MPL and QS21.
摘要:
A process for the production of inactivated Hepatitis A virus substantially free of host cell contamination is described, the process comprising: a)culturing Hepatitis A virus and harvesting a Hepatitis A preparation; b) treating said Hepatitis A preparation with a protease; and thereafter c) separating intact virus from protease-digested material; d) inactivating said virus. Also described are vaccines comprising the inactivated Hepatitis A virus, preferably in combination with strong adjuvants.
摘要:
A vaccine formulation for the treatment or prophylaxis of hepatitis, especially hepatitis, especially hepatitis B, infections is provided comprising the hepatitis antigen and a suitable carrier such as alum in combination with 3-O-deacylated monophosphoryl lipid. A combination vaccines including the vaccine formulation are also described.
摘要:
The invention provides BASB040 polypeptides and polynucleotides from Neisseria meningitidis encoding BASB040 polypeptides and methods for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques. Also provided are diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic uses.
摘要:
The invention provides BASB029 polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding BASB029 polypeptides and methods for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques. Also provided are diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic uses.
摘要:

摘要:
Novel vaccine compositions are provided comprising a hepatitis B antigen formulated with aluminium phosphate. The vaccine compositions may additionally contain an inactivated hepatitis A virus, aluminium hydroxide and formol. The combined hepatitis A and B vaccine formulations can, if desired, be administered to human subjects in a 2 dose regimen. Suitable formulations are illustrated.
摘要:
Provided are Moraxella catarrhalis BASB034 polypeptides and immunogenic fragments of BASB034 polypeptides. Preferably, the immunogenic fragments have at least 15 amino acids that match an aligned contiguous segment of SEQ ID NOs:2, 4, 6 or 8. The immunogenic fragments, when administered to a subject in a suitable composition (which can include an adjuvant, or a suitable carrier coupled to the fragment) raise an immune response that recognizes a polypeptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NOs:2, 4, 6 or 8. The invention further provides immunogenic compositions containing BASB034 polypeptides and immunogenic fragments thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Also provided are fusion proteins that contain BASB034 polypeptides and immunogenic fragments thereof.
