摘要:
This invention relates to, inter alia, an isolated lipidated polypeptide including a lipid moiety at the N-terminus and a plurality of epitopes, and methods of making and using the polypeptide.
摘要:
An immunopeptide containing a T cell epitope from the tumor associated antigen L6 (TAL6) and a nucleic acid encoding the immunopeptide are described herein. The immunopeptide or its encoding nucleic acid can be used as a component of an immune composition for enhancing immune response against cancer cells that express TAL6.
摘要:
A method for enhancing a body's response to an immunogen is disclosed. The method comprises immunizing a subject in need thereof a vaccine composition in a water-in-oil (W/O/W) emulsion that comprises (a) an antigen; and (b) an adjuvant composition in a W/O/W emulsion. The adjuvant composition comprises: (i) a continuous aqueous phase comprising H2O; (ii) an oil phase comprising oil dispersed in the continuous aqueous phase, comprising an internal aqueous phase comprising H2O, being dispersed in the oil phase; and a physiologically acceptable lipophilic emulsifier selected from the group consisting of mannide monooleate and sorbitan esters, stabilizing the interface between the inner aqueous phase and the oil phase to form a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion; and (iii) poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(lactide-co-ε-caprolactone), stabilizing the interface between the oil phase and the continuous aqueous phase.
摘要:
A method of producing a recombinant lipidated polypeptide in E. coli. The method includes providing an E. coli host cell adapted to express a recombinant lipidated polypeptide; and culturing the E. coli host cell in a minimal medium under conditions that allow expression of the polypeptide in lipidated form.
