Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed for the dietary modulation of the immune system and gut microbial response in animals. Applicant has identified that oral administration of a supplemental spray dried plasma purified from animal serum can modulate serum IgG levels for treatment in such things as diminished immune capacity, intestinal microbial balance, autoimmune disorders, potentiation of vaccination protocols, and improvement of overall health and weight gain in animals, including humans.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising a viral antigen, a first protein and a second protein. Optionally, the composition also comprises three different disaccharaides, or, optionally, the composition comprises a primary sugar and at least one, preferably two secondary sugars. The present invention also relates to the use of a viral antigen, a first protein and a second protein for the manufacture of a composition, preferably a vaccine. The present invention furthermore relates to a method of treatment or prevention of virus associates diseases in humans. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method of adapting a virus to a suitable cell-line. The invention is also useful for the production of virus suspensions suitable for making stable, live/inactivated, monovalent and/or polyvalent, liquid/lyophilized rotavirus vaccine compositions for oral and/or nasal or any other suitable route of administration in human.
Abstract:
Provided are G12 human rotaviruses having VP7 gene of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2 and VP4 gene of SEQ ID NO: 3 or 4; antibodies specific for said rotaviruses; and a vaccine composition containing the same. The antibodies and the vaccine composition are effective for diagnosing rotavirus infection and for treatment of diseases caused by rotavirus.
Abstract translation:提供具有SEQ ID NO:1或2的VP7基因和SEQ ID NO:3或4的VP4基因的G12人轮状病毒; 对所述轮状病毒特异的抗体; 和含有该组合物的疫苗组合物。 抗体和疫苗组合物可有效诊断轮状病毒感染和治疗由轮状病毒引起的疾病。
Abstract:
The invention provides an attenuated rotavirus population comprising a single variant or substantially a single variant which is defined by a nucleotide sequence encoding at least one of the major viral proteins designated as VP4 and VP7. The invention particularly provides a rotavirus population designated as P43. The invention further provides a novel formulation for a rotavirus vaccine which is in the form of a quick dissolving tablet for immediate dissolution when placed on the tongue.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of inducing an immune response against rotavirus strain, the method comprising administering to a subject a composition comprising an attenuated rotavirus strain of a GxPy type, said composition generating an immune response against a rotavirus strain which is neither a Gx nor a Py type.
Abstract:
A genome of an ovine adenovirus designated OAV287 is isolated from sheep and sequenced. Portions of the genome not essential for maintenance or viability of the virus can be deleted or altered. A nucleotide sequence encoding a non-adenoviral polypeptide can be incorporated into the genome. The a full-length clone of the genome can be provided as part of a plasmid or viral vector. Cells can be transformed with a vector of the invention such that they express an exogenous protein.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed for modulating the immune system of animals. Applicant has identified that oral administration of immunoglobulin or plasma fractions purified from animal serum can modulate serum IgG and/or TNF-null levels for treatment of autoimmune disorders, potentiation of vaccination protocols, and improvement of overall health and weight gain in animals, including humans.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of immunising a subject comprising the step of administering a composition comprising an antigen and a carbohydrate polymer comprising mannose to a mucosal site of the subject, methods of use of the composition for vaccination and sterilization and use of the composition in manufacturing a medicament.
Abstract:
The present invention provides liquid and lyophilized formulations of vaccines against rotavirus infection and methods of their preparation. The formulations include buffering agents appropriate for oral administration of rotavirus vaccines. The formulations also include compounds to stabilize of the vaccine compositions against loss of potency.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method of potentiating an immune response by administering a viral enterotoxin or derivative as an adjuvant. More particularly it relates to administering a viral enterotoxin or derivative as an adjuvant and an antigen to a mucosal surface of a mammal.
