摘要:
POTE has recently been identified as a tumor antigen expressed in a variety of human cancers, including colon, ovarian, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer. Described herein are immunogenic POTE polypeptides, including modified POTE polypeptides, that bind MHC class I molecules. The immunogenic POTE polypeptides are capable of inducing an immune response against POTE-expressing tumor cells. Thus, provided herein is a method of eliciting an immune response in a subject, such as a subject having a type of cancer that expresses POTE.
摘要:
The present invention provides peptides and proteins for use in second generation HIV vaccines and as diagnostic tools in the treatment and control of HIV infection. The antiviral protection shown by compositions of the present invention has not been previously achieved with an HLA epitope-enhanced vaccine. These findings define a critical balance between MHC affinity and receptor crossreactivity required for effective epitope enhancement and also demonstrate construction and efficacy of such a component of a new generation vaccine.
摘要:
The present invention provides a vaccine for inducing an immune response in mammal to a specific antigen, where the vaccine comprises a unit dose of a binary, cytotoxic T lymphocyte vaccine comprising an anthrax protective antigen and a full length protein antigen bound to a nontoxic anthrax protective antigen binding protein comprising at least about the first 250 amino acid residues of the lethal factor of Bacillus anthracis and less than all of the amino acid residues of the lethal factor. The present invention also provides a method of immunizing a mammal against an antigen using the vaccine, and a method of inducing antigen-presenting mammalian cells to present specific antigens via the MHC class I processing pathway.
摘要:
The present invention discloses a process for enhancing antibody response to an antigen. A novel step in the process is the preparation of a conjugate of the antigen with an anti-immunoglobulin. The conjugate thus prepared is then administered to a host for in vivo effect or presented to T and B cells in a suitable culture system for in vitro response. The present invention by increasing immunogenicity makes it possible to produce antibodies against very low doses of antigens and otherwise weak or insufficient antigens or synthetic vaccines.
摘要:
This invention relates to the identification of short peptide segments of AIDS virus proteins which elicit T cellular immunity, and to a method of inducing cellular immunity to native proteins of the AIDS virus by immunization with short synthetic peptides. Five potential peptides have been identified by searching for regions which can fold as a maximally amphipathic helix. These may be useful to include in either a synthetic peptide- or recombinant fragment- based vaccine.
摘要:
XAGE-1 is a gene expressed in a number of important human cancers, including prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, glioblastoma, pancreatic cancer, and melanoma. It has now been discovered that peptides of fifty or fewer amino acids comprising the sequence X1X2X3PSAPSPX4 (SEQ ID NO:5), where X1 is any amino acid and is preferably G or Y; X2 is selected from the group consisting of L, M, A, I, V, and T, with L and M being preferred; X3 is a hydrophobic residue, M or A; and X4 is V, M, L, A, I, or T, and is preferably V, bind to the HLA-A2 MHC class I molecule, and can be used to raise immune responses to XAGE-1-expressing cancers. In some embodiments, the P at position 7, the S at position 8, or the P at position 9, can be omitted to create a 9 amino acid peptide. The invention provides immunogenic peptides, nucleic acids encoding them, vectors comprising the nucleic acids, uses of the peptides and nucleic acids for manufacture of medicaments, methods of using the peptides and nucleic acids, and compositions of the peptides or nucleic acids in pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.
