摘要:
The disclosure relates to HSV glycoprotein E antigenic peptide constructs and HSV protein vaccines, as well as methods of using the vaccines and compositions comprising the vaccines. The present invention directed to immunogenic polypeptides of use for a vaccine against Herpes Simplex Vims (HSV). The polypeptides are glycoprotein E peptides that are mutated to reduce their binding to antibody Fc domain.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to antigen binding proteins including, but not limited to, monoclonal antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof, that specifically bind to and preferably neutralize human cytomegalovirus (CMV). Also encompassed by the invention are antigen binding proteins that have been humanized. The antigen binding proteins of the invention are useful as a therapeutic agent for treating and/or preventing CMV infections in a patient in need thereof.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a cytomegalovirus (CMV) which has been recombinantly altered to express a heterologous polypeptide and to allow for external control of viral replication. The heterologous polypeptide may be a polypeptide of interest such as an antigen, antibody or immune modulator. The CMV vectors of the invention are replication defective, or chemically controllable replication capable, or replication competent. The present invention also relates to uses of the CMV vectors such as inducing an immune response to an antigen or expressing an antibody or immune modulator in vivo. Compositions comprising the CMV expressing the heterologous polypeptide are also encompassed by the present invention.
摘要:
HSV glycoprotein B-VSV-G1 fusion proteins and variants thereof, HSV glycoprotein C antigenic peptide constructs and variants thereof, HSV immunogenic compositions and protein vaccines including the peptide constructs, and HSV DNA vaccines encoding the amino acid sequence of the peptide constructs, as well as methods of using the vaccines and compositions comprising the vaccines.
摘要:
The disclosure relates to HSV glycoprotein B and HSV glycoprotein C antigenic peptide constructs, HSV protein vaccines, and HSV DNA vaccines, as well as methods of using the vaccines and compositions comprising the vaccines.
摘要:
Immunogenic compositions and prophylactic or therapeutic vaccines for use in protecting and treating against human cytomegalovirus (CMV) are disclosed. Subunit vaccines comprising a human CMV protein complex comprising pUL128 or pUL130, and nucleic acid vaccines comprising at least one nucleic acid encoding a CMV protein complex comprising pUL128 or pUL130 are described. Also disclosed are therapeutic antibodies reactive against a CMV protein complex comprising pUL128 or pUL130, as well as methods for screening compounds that inhibit CMV infection of epithelial and endothelial cells, methods for immunizing a subject against CMV infection, methods for determining the capability of neutralizing antibodies to inhibit CMV infection of cell types other than fibroblasts, and methods of diminishing an CMV infection.
