摘要:
Process for the manufacture of dental or maxillo-facial prostheses, particularly endo-osseous prostheses or pivots, in which a layer of pure aluminum is deposited on a conductive substrate, preferably a metal, which forms the core of the prosthesis. The aluminum layer is obtained by electrochemical deposition of pure aluminum with non-aqueous electrolyte base of the type which has an aluminumorganic complex bath. The layer is then oxidized by anodization such that an alumina layer which is sealed and electrically insulated, is obtained, separating the core and the biological tissues surrounding the prosthesis.
摘要:
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical/immunogenic compositions and methods for inducing an immune response against tumour-related antigens. More specifically, the invention relates to non-human prostate-specific antigens, more precisely to the non-human prostate-specific P501S, which can be used as xenogeneic antigen in prostate cancer vaccine therapy and as diagnostic agents for prostate tumours in humans, to immunogenic compositions containing them, to methods of manufacture of such compositions and to their use in medicine. Methods for formulating vaccines for immunotherapeutically treating P501S-expressing prostate tumors, prostatic hyperplasia, and prostate intraepithelilial neoplasia (PIN) are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) fusion proteins, linked to an immunological fusion partner that provides T helper epiptopes to the HPV antigen. Vaccine formulations are provided that are useful in the treatment or Prophylaxis of HPV induced tumours.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of producing a plurality of dendritic cell/tumor cell hybrids which induce an anti-tumor response when applied to a patient. The present invention further relates to a method of producing a dendritic cell/tumor cell hybridoma which induces an anti-tumor response when applied to a patient.
摘要:
The present invention relates to adjuvant compositions which are suitable to be used in vaccines. In particular, the adjuvant compositions of the present invention comprises a saponin and an immunostimulatory oligonucleotide, optionally with a carrier. Also provided by the present invention are vaccines comprising the adjuvants of the present invention and an antigen. Further provided are methods of manufacture of the adjuvants and vaccines of the present invention and their use as medicaments. Methods of treating an individual susceptible to or suffering from a disease by the administration of the vaccines of the present invention are also provided.
摘要:
The invention relates to a combination therapy that finds utility in the treatment or prophylaxis of infectious diseases, cancers, autoimmune diseases and related conditions. In particular, the combination therapy comprises the administration of a TH-1 cytokine, in particular IL-18, and an immunogenic composition, in particular a vaccine, comprising an antigen and a CpG adjuvant.
