摘要:
Immunogenic compositions that elicit immune responses against Norovirus and Sapovirus antigens are described. In particular, the invention relates to polynucleotides encoding one or more capsid proteins or other immunogenic viral polypeptides from one or more strains of Norovirus and/or Sapovirus, coexpression of such immunogenic viral polypeptides with adjuvants, and methods of using the polynucleotides in applications including immunization and production of immunogenic viral polypeptides and viral-like particles (VLPs). Methods for producing Norovirus- or Sapovirus-derived multiple epitope fusion antigens or polyproteins and immunogenic compositions comprising one or more immunogenic polypeptides, polynucleotides, VLPs, and/or adjuvants are also described. The immunogenic compositions of the invention may also contain antigens other than Norovirus or Sapovirus antigens, including antigens that can be used in immunization against pathogens that cause diarrheal diseases, such as antigens derived from rotavirus.
摘要:
The present invention provides adjuvant compositions that are capable of modulating the immune response in a subject, including enhancing or suppressing the immune response. These adjuvant compositions may also be used to enhance or suppress the immunogenicity of antigens by enhancing or suppressing antigen-presentation activity, enhancing or suppressing innate immune responses through activation or suppression of, e.g., natural killer cells, and/or direct activation of subsets of B and/or T cells. Also provided are methods of making the adjuvant compositions as well as methods of using the adjuvant compositions. In certain embodiments, the compositions comprise combinations of the following: a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, a flavonoid, a tannin and a vitamin. The compositions may further comprise an antigen.
摘要:
Mucosal delivery of antigens using, for example, a replication-defective gene delivery vehicle, particularly replication-defective alphavirus vectors and particles, is described. Also described are compositions comprising a mucosal adjuvant and one or more antigens derived from HIV. Also provided is the use of these gene delivery vehicles in inducing mucosal, local, and/or systemic immune responses following mucosal immunization regimes.
