摘要:
An immunological adjuvant comprises an aluminum salt, an immunostimulatory oligonucleotide and a polycationic polymer, wherein the oligonucleotide and the polymer ideally associate with each other to form a complex. The adjuvant can be included in a composition with an immunogen e.g. to elicit an immune response that protects against a bacterial disease or a fungal disease.
摘要:
Fusion proteins comprising CD4 minimal modules that bind to HIV Env polypeptides in a non-CD4 backbone are described. Also described are complexes of these fusion proteins with Env as well as methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention using the polynucleotides and polypeptides are also provided.
摘要:
An immunogenic composition comprising (i) a non-virion influenza virus antigen prepared from a virus grown in cell culture; and (ii) an adjuvant. Preferred adjuvants comprise oil-in-water emulsions.
摘要:
A non-toxic mucosal adjuvant is provided which may be admixed with further antigens to provide a vaccine administrable to mucosal surfaces in organisms including man. Preferably, the non-toxic mucosal adjuvant is a detoxified mutant of a bacterial ADP-ribosylating toxin, optionally comprising one or more amino acid additions, deletions or substitutions.
摘要:
An outbreak of a virulent respiratory virus, now known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), was identified in Hong Kong, China and a growing number of countries around the world in 2003. The invention relates to nucleic acids and proteins from the SARS coronavirus. These nucleic acids and proteins can be used in the preparation and manufacture of vaccine formulations, diagnostic reagents, kits, etc. The invention also provides methods for treating SARS by administering small molecule antiviral compounds, as well as methods of identifying potent small molecules for the treatment of SARS.
摘要:
The present invention provides parenteral adjuvants comprising detoxified mutants of bacterial ADP- ribosylating toxins, particularly those from pertussis (PT), cholera (CT), and heat-labile E. coli (LT).

摘要:
Method for the culture of microorganisms of the genera Helicobacter, Campylobacter and Arcobacter, wherein culture media are employed, which comprise, in place of blood or its derivative, cyclodextrins.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a medium containing non-animal derived proteinaceous material for cultivating patheogenic bacteria to produce an immunogenic factor and processes employing such medium.
摘要:
An immunogenic composition comprises (i) an immuno stimulatory oligonucleotide and a polycationic polymer, wherein the oligonucleotide and the polymer ideally associate with each other to form a complex, and (ii) a meningococcal serogroup B antigen. In most embodiments, the composition does not include an aluminium salt and does not include an oil-in-water emulsion.
