The present invention relates to therapeutic nanoemulsion compositions and to methods of utilizing the same. In particular, nanoemulsion compositions are described herein that find use in the treatment and/or prevention of infection (e.g., respiratory infection (e.g., associated with cystic fibrosis)), in burn wound management, and in immunogenic compositions (e.g., comprising a Burkholderia antigen) that generate an effective immune response (e.g., against a bacterial species of the genus Burkholderia) in a subject administered the immunogenic composition. Compositions and methods of the present invention find use in, among other things, clinical (e.g. therapeutic and preventative medicine), industrial, and research applications.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel therapeutic and diagnostic dendrimer based modular platforms (e.g., drug delivery platforms). In particular, the dendrimer based modular platforms are configured such that two or more dendrimers (e.g., PAMAM dendrimers) are coupled together (e.g., via a cycloaddition reaction) wherein each of the coupled dendrimers is functionalized (e.g., functionalized for targeting, imaging, sensing, and/or providing a therapeutic or diagnostic material and/or monitoring response to therapy). In some embodiments, the present invention provides dendrimer based modular platforms having coupled dendrimers (e.g., two or more coupled dendrimers) wherein each dendrimer is conjugated to one or more functional groups (e.g., therapeutic agent, imaging agent, targeting agent, triggering agent) (e.g., for specific targeting and/or therapeutic use of the dendrimer based modular platform). In some embodiments, the functional groups are conjugated to the dendrimers via a linker and/or a triggering agent. In addition, the present invention is directed to methods of synthesizing dendrimer based modular platforms, compositions comprising the dendrimer based modular platforms, as well as systems and methods utilizing the dendrimer based modular platforms (e.g., in diagnostic and/or therapeutic settings (e.g., for the delivery of therapeutics, imaging, and/or targeting agents (e.g., in disease (e.g., cancer) diagnosis and/or therapy, etc.)).

The present invention provides methods and compositions for the stimulation of immune responses. In particular, the present invention provides nanoemulsion compositions and methods of using the same for the induction of immune responses (e.g., innate and adaptive immune responses (e.g., for generation of host immunity against an environmental pathogen)). Compositions and methods of the present invention find use in, among other things, clinical (e.g. therapeutic and preventative medicine (e.g., vaccination)) and research applications.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for decreasing the infectivity, morbidity, and rate of mortality associated with a variety of pathogenic organisms and viruses. The present invention also relates to methods and compositions for decontaminating areas colonized or otherwise infected by pathogenic organisms and viruses. Moreover, the present invention relates to methods and compositions for decreasing the infectivity of pathogenic organisms in foodstuffs. In particular, decreased pathogenic organism infectivity, morbidity, and mortality is accomplished by contacting the pathogenic organism with an oil-in-water nanoemulsion comprising an oil, an organic solvent, and a surfactant dispersed in an aqueous phase.
