摘要:
Isolated monoclonal antibodies which bind to human CD27 and related antibody-based compositions and molecules are disclosed. Also disclosed are therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the antibodies.
摘要:
Oral immunogenic compositions imparting dual protection against enterotoxigenic labile toxin (LT)-expressing Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Vibrio cholerae based on the delivery of recombinant cholera toxin B antigen by attenuated, live bacterial vectors derived from Vibrio cholerae are disclosed. The compositions exhibit dual immunogenicity and retain the ability to colonize gastrointestinal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues.
摘要:
Improved vaccine compositions and methods of use thereof are described that elicit production of antibodies in an individual to the individual's own endogenous cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP).
摘要:
This invention relates to peptides comprising a helper T cell epitope portion and a B cell epitope portion for eliciting an immune response against endogenous cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity, to prevent or treat cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis.
摘要:
Conjugates are disclosed comprising a broad range helper T cell epitope portion and a B cell epitope portion from a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), which conjugates are capable of eliciting an immune response in an individual against the individual's endogenous CETP activity. The conjugates are useful in methods to inhibit CETP activity, to raise serum levels of high density lipoproteins, and to prevent or treat cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis.

摘要:
A plasmid-based vaccine is provided herein based on the combination of DNA segments coding for one or more B cell epitopes of CETP and one or more broad range helper T cell epitopes. Administration of the plasmids as a vaccine to a vertebrate subject provides an immune response to the subject's endogenous CETP and modulation of CETP activity, leading to prevention or reversal of various manifestations of heart disease. The vaccines provide an advantageous strategy for the prevention or treatment of atherosclerosis.
摘要:
Immunogenic compositions imparting dual protection against enterotoxigenic labile toxin (LT)-expressing Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Vibrio cholerae based on the hyperexpression of recombinant cholera toxin B antigen by attenuated, live bacterial vectors derived from Vibrio cholerae are disclosed. The compositions exhibit dual immunogenicity and retain the ability to colonize gastrointestinal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues.
