    摘要: A compound for the sequestration of undesirable neutralizing antibodies against viral vectors in a patient. The compound includes an inert biopolymer scaffold and at least a first peptide n-mer of the general formula P ( - S - P ) (n-1) and a second peptide n-mer of the general formula P ( - S - P ) (n-1); wherein, P is a peptide with a sequence length of 2-13 amino acids and S is a non-peptide spacer, independently for each of the peptide n-mers, n is an integer of at least 1, each of the peptide n-mers is bound to the biopolymer scaffold. Independently for each occurrence, P has an amino-acid sequence including a sequence fragment with a length of at least six amino acids of a capsid protein sequence of a viral vector. Compositions including the compound and sequestering and inhibiting methods are also provided.

    摘要: The present invention relates to particles, particularly virus-like particles (VLPs), comprising fusion polypeptides comprising selected repeat units derived from the repeating regions of Type I and Type II circumsporozoite proteins (CSP) of Plasmodium vivax (Pv), together with an amino acid sequence derived from the C-terminal PvCSP sequence. In some embodiments, the fusion polypeptide additionally comprises an amino acid sequence derived from the N-terminal PvCSP sequence and/or a surface antigen polypeptide derived from Hepatitis B virus (HBV-S). The invention also relates to nucleotide sequences coding for such fusion polypeptides, vectors and plasmids comprising such nucleotide sequences, and host cells comprising such vectors and plasmids. The invention additionally relates to compositions, particularly vaccine compositions, comprising the fusion polypeptides or VLPs for use as vaccines for the prevention of malaria.
