摘要:
The present invention is for a formulation comprising a nucleic acid vaccine and an immunoenhancing amount of acemannan, whereby the acemannan enhances immune response, in a host, to the vaccine. The present invention is also for a method of enhancing the immune response of a host to a nucleic acid vaccine by administering a formulation comprising a nucleic acid vaccine and acemannan.
摘要:
The present invention is related to the field of medicine, particularly to the use of new adjuvant formulations with vaccine antigens. The technical objective pursued with this invention is, precisely, the development of formulations that are able to increase and/or modulate the immune response of the organism to vaccine antigens in the serum and the mucous lining. With this aim, a formulation was developed that contained as the main components the surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus and the acemannan in adequate proportions. As an extension of this result, formulations were developed in which a) HBsAg was used as the homologous or heterologous antigen carrier b) delivery systems of particulated antigens and c) soluble antigens, combined with the acemannan in specific proportions. The formulations of this invention are applicable in the pharmaceutical industry as vaccine formulations for human and veterinary use.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for obtaining aggregated antigenic structures that are capable of enhancing an immune response to aggregate antigens administered systemically and/or mucosally generating powerful immune response and to the chemical structures resulting from the application of said method, to the formulations obtained from such structures and their use. The method describes the obtention of novel aggregate antigenic structures by using aggregating, delipidating or oxidating agents or compounds enabling the release of lipids from the particles and their heterogeneous aggregation, wherein aggregates with particle sizes of between 30 and 500 nm are subsequently selected by means of a molecular exclusion process. The aggregation state can also be provoket inside the yeast by changing incubation conditions. The resulting structures can be used conveniently adjuvated or in a formulation in which several antigens can be introduced, wherein synergism between said components is found with respect to the immunogenicity of the response obtained. The preparation may also contain stabilizers and preservatives. The resulting antigenic structures can be used in the pharmaceutical industry as preventive or therapeutic vaccine formulation both for human and veterinary use and as part of diagnostic system.

The present invention describes peptides comprising phycocyanobilin (PCB), as well as the medical use of said peptides and that of PCB, due to the neuroprotector and/or neuroregenerative effects identified for them. Furthermore, pharmaceutical combinations of said peptides and of PCB with proteins or other peptides with synergic effect justify their use for ischemic or neurodegenerative CNS disease treatment.
摘要:
The present invention consists of the combination of Interferon alpha and C-Phycocyanin (IFN-α/C-Phyco) for obtaining a pharmaceutical preparation for autoimmune disease, allergy and cancer treatments. The anti-inflammatory, immunomodulator, antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-proliferative and anti-tumoral effects, associated to the regulatory T cell inducer effect demonstrated in this invention is the rationale for the use of the IFN-α/C-Phyco combination in these diseases.
