摘要:
Provided are an immunogenic composition comprising polyglycerol phosphate (PGP) and methods for using the composition for treating or preventing staphylococcal infections. The PGP may be conjugated to a T-cell dependent antigen. Also provided are methods for synthesizing PGP and methods for conjugating PGP to a T-cell dependent antigen.
摘要:
The invention describes compositions and methods for optimizing IgA class switching in B cells. The compositions comprise a multivalent antigen receptor crosslinker, CD40 ligand or lipopolysaccharide, and the cytokines TGF-.beta., IL-4, and either IL-5 or IL-2. Methods of using the compositions are also described.
摘要:
The invention describes compositions comprising adding granulocyte-macrope colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), or a combination thereof useful for stimulating the release of antibody by B cells. Methods of using the compositions, pharmaceutical compositions, vaccines, and vaccines adjuvants are also described. In addition, this invention describes an assay system useful for identifying compounds capable of stimulating the release of antibody by B cells.
