    摘要: Provided are expression vectors for generating an immune response to a mucin. The vectors comprise a transcription unit encoding a secretable polypeptide, the polypeptide comprising a secretory signal, a mucin antigen and CD40 ligand. Also provided are methods of generating an immune response against cells expressing a mucin by administering an effective amount of the vector. Further provided are methods of generating an immune response against cancer cells expressing a mucin in an individual by administering an effective amount of the vector. Still further provided are methods of overcoming anergy to a mucin self antigen by administering an effective amount of the vector.

    摘要: A combination of components to promote an innate and adaptive immune response comprising of a TAA/ecdCD40L vaccine and a complex between the CD1d receptor and an alpha galactosyl ceramide like glycolipid (AGCLGL), to activate NKT cells and activate the CD40 receptor on the DCs and increase the level of the adaptive immune response induced by the TAA/ecdCD40L vaccine to the TAA. The result and advantage of using both the TAA/ecdCD40L vaccine and the α-galactosylceramide-CD1d complex (or a related bacterial or other antigen related to α-galactosylceramide) to stimulate the immune response through the CD40L/CD40 axis on dendritic cells, is that the magnitude of the stimulation is robust and increased significantly more than additive—i.e. synergistically due to the interaction, cross-talk and/or cross-stimulation of the glycolipid-CD1d pathway and TAA/ecdCD40L pathway. As a result, a potent immune response is induced against lipid target antigens as well as protein target antigens.

    摘要: Provided are compositions and methods of selecting at least three fragments one each from three domains of the malarial CSP for generating antigen specific CD8 effector T cells and non-cross reacting neutralizing antibody immune responses to the malarial parasite, which when administered prevent an infection of a human being when bitten by a malaria infected mosquito. The composition and method comprises priming an individual by administering a mixture of one or more adenoviral expression vectors encoding one or more fusion proteins, which comprises the malarial CSP antigen fragments linked to the extracellular domain of the CD40 ligand. The adenoviral expression vector comprises a transcription unit encoding a secretable fusion protein, the fusion protein containing selected malarial sporozoite CSP antigen fragments linked to the CD40 ligand to block the attachment to or infection of the human liver cell(s) by the malarial sporozoite.

    摘要: This two-step method used in the Clostridium difficile toxin transport is a unique method of delivery. The use of a vaccine (TAA/ecdCD40L) for the interdiction of this two-step delivery toxin system to reduce cell death and the death of human subjects is believed to be unique in the area of neutralizing antibodies for protection against the lethal effects of an infectious agent. The proposed composition/vaccine strategy for C difficile is to combine and administer at the same time the two compositions/vaccines for Toxin A, the one composition/vaccine for Toxin B and the one vaccine for CDTb to determine the effect of mixing these compositions/vaccines on protecting mice from a lethal dose of C difficile. This is believed to be the first time that two different tandem repeats from the contact of a ligand with its cellular receptor have been used to prevent binding of the ligand to its cellular receptor.

    摘要: Provided are methods of generating an immune response to an antigen. The method comprises priming an individual by administering an expression vector encoding the antigen. The vectors comprises a transcription unit encoding a secretable fusion protein, the fusion protein containing an antigen and CD40 ligand. Administration of a fusion protein containing the antigen and CD40 ligand is used to enhance the immune response above that obtained by vector administration alone. The invention methods may be used to generate an immune response against cancer expressing a tumor antigen such as a mucin or human papilloma viral tumor antigen and to generate an immune response against an infectious agent. Also provided is a method for simultaneously producing the expression vector and the fusion protein.
