摘要:
The present invention relates to a herpes zoster vaccine composition, which comprises glycoprotein E of Varicella zoster virus, a glucopyranosyl lipid adjuvant, and a metabolic oil, and selectively increases a cell-mediated immune reaction without having disadvantages of attenuated live vaccines, thereby exhibit high safety and a high preventive effect against herpes zoster.
摘要:
Compositions and methods for preventing, treating and detecting leprosy are disclosed. The compositions generally comprise polypeptides comprising one or more Mycobacterium leprae antigens as well as polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a fusion protein made from a synthetic gene construct comprising of elements derived from the Leishmania antigens K26, K39, and K9. The fusion protein is particularly useful in the diagnosis of leishmaniasis, particularly visceral leishmaniasis in animals such as humans and dogs.

The invention also relates to methods for their use in the treatment, prevention and/or diagnosis of tuberculosis infections.
摘要:
Cancer immunotherapies effective for treating tumors are disclosed. A cytosolic receptor that detects viral ribonucleic acid (RNA), retinoic-acid-inducible protein 1 (RIG-I), is activated by a synthetic double-stranded oligonucleotide pUUC Auk. In one implementation, RIG-I is activated by a single-stranded oligonucleotide agonist formulated with a squalene emulsion (SE) adjuvant. Activation of RIG-I with pUUC Auk results in slower tumor growth. Formulation with a SE adjuvant increases the ability of RIG-I agonists to slow tumor growth. The novel agonist and formulations provided herein are effective for slowing the growth of new tumors and reducing further growth of established tumors. RIG-I agonist/adjuvant formulations may be administered to a subject by any of multiple routes including intratumoral injection.
