    摘要: Factor H binding protein (fHBP) has been proposed for use in immunising against serogroup B meningococcus (‘MenB’). This antigen can be efficiently adsorbed to an aluminium hydroxyphosphate adjuvant by (i) ensuring that adsorption takes place at a pH which is equal to or below the adjuvant's point of zero charge (PZC), and/or (ii) selecting a fHBP and adjuvant with an isoelectric point/PZC within the range of 5.0 to 7, and/or (iii) selecting a fHBP with an isoelectric point above the adjuvant's PZC and using a buffer to bring the pH to within 1.2 pH units of the PZC. The adsorption is particularly useful for compositions which include multiple fHBP variants, and also in situations where an aluminium hydroxide adjuvant should be avoided. Buffered pharmaceutical compositions can include at least two different meningococcal fHBP antigens, both of which are at least 85% adsorbed to aluminium hydroxyphosphate adjuvant.

    摘要: The present invention relates to compositions comprising Moraxella catarrhalis (M. catarrhalis) Ubiquitous surface protein A2 (UspA2). More particularly, the present application relates to UspA2 protein constructs and immunogenic compositions comprising the constructs, vaccines comprising such immunogenic compositions and therapeutic uses of the same. The invention further relates to compositions comprising UspA2 in combination with at least one antigen from Haemophilus influenzae, immunogenic compositions comprising the antigens, vaccines comprising such immunogenic compositions and therapeutic uses of the same.
