摘要:
Provided herein are PEGylated liposomes, and methods of making and using thereof. The PEGylated liposomes comprise at least a cholesterol, a non-PEGylated neutral lipid, and a PEGylated lipid, wherein the average molecular weight of the PEG component in the PEGylated lipid is about 5000 Daltons or less. The PEGylated liposomes are stable and capable of delivery of an agent for the generation of an immune response, for example an agent for vaccine, therapeutic, or diagnostic uses. Compositions and methods related to making the PEGylated liposomes and using the PEGylated liposomes for stimulating an immune response are also provided.
摘要:
Compositions and methods, including vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions for inducing or enhancing an immune response are disclosed based on the discovery of useful immunological adjuvant properties in a synthetic, glucopyranosyl lipid adjuvant (GLA) that is provided in substantially homogeneous form. Chemically defined, synthetic GLA offers a consistent vaccine component from lot to lot without the fluctuations in contaminants or activity that compromise natural-product adjuvants. Also provided are vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions that include GLA and one or more of an antigen, a Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonist, a co-adjuvant and a carrier such as a pharmaceutical carrier.
摘要:
Provided herein are fusion polypeptides comprising at least two Mycobacterial antigens, wherein one Mycobacterial antigen is a strong central memory T cell activator, and wherein one Mycobacterial antigen is a strong effector memory T cell activator. Also provided herein are methods of making and using such fusion polypeptides for the prevention or treatment of a secondary Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection as well as for the prevention or treatment of a nontuberculous Mycobacterium infection in a mammal.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a herpes zoster vaccine composition, which comprises glycoprotein E of Varicella zoster virus, a glucopyranosyl lipid adjuvant, and a metabolic oil, and selectively increases a cell-mediated immune reaction without having disadvantages of attenuated live vaccines, thereby exhibit high safety and a high preventive effect against herpes zoster.
