摘要:
This invention generally relates to cationic oil-in-water emulsions that contain high concentrations of cationic lipids and have a defined oil:lipid ratio. The cationic lipid can interact with the negatively charged molecule thereby anchoring the molecule to the emulsion particles. The cationic emulsions described herein are useful for delivering negatively charged molecules, such as nucleic acid molecules to cells, and for formulating nucleic acid-based vaccines.
摘要:
The present invention provides an attenuated strain of porcine pseudorabies virus (PRV), in which said attenuated strain of PRV is a variant strain of PRV with inactivation of gI/gE/11K/28K proteins. In addition, the present invention also provides a vaccine composition comprising the attenuated strain of PRV as an antigen, a preparation method and use thereof. Proved by immunogenicity and pathogenicity testing of the live vaccine, said live PRV vaccine can provide a good protection for pigs with no clinical signs observed, indicating excellent immune protection.
摘要:
Recombinant subunit vaccines against bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) are provided, as well as methods of vaccination and methods of recombinantly producing the subunit antigens or nucleotide sequences employed in the vaccines.
摘要:
Provided are antigenic compositions and uses thereof that include at least two human herpesvirus (HHV) polypeptides involved in mediating HHV binding, fusion, and entry into host cells, such as gp350, gH, gL, and gB, or nucleic acids encoding the polypeptides. The two HHV polypeptides comprise any combination of: a gB polypeptide; a gp350 polypeptide; a gL polypeptide; and a gH polypeptide, and optionally any one or more of the following polypeptides: gp42, gM, gN, gl, gC, gE, gD, ORF68, BMRF-2, BDLF2, UL128, UL130, UL131A, and gpK8.1. Also disclosed are methods of inducing an immune response or treating or preventing O an HHV infection in a subject by administering to the subject at least two of the HHV polypeptides or nucleic acid(s) encoding the same. Methods of passively transferring immunity using high-titer anti-HHV antibodies or immune cells are also disclosed.
摘要:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to nucleic acid vaccines. The vaccines include at least one RNA polynucleotides having an open reading frame encoding at least one varicella zoster virus (VZV) antigen. Methods for preparing and using such vaccines are also described.
摘要:
Provided in the embodiments of the present invention is a vaccine composition including an immune amount of attenuated live vaccine, inactivated vaccine, subunit vaccine, synthetic vaccine, or genetically engineered vaccine of the porcine pseudorabies virus strain. The vaccine composition can effectively induce antibody generation, and prevent infections of virulent strains of the porcine pseudorabies virus, and provides effective protection for pigs.
摘要:
A BHV-1 mutant virus has been made that incorporates into a single virus two or more deletions in one or more of three genes—glycoprotein N, glycoprotein E and Us9. Specifically, a BHV-1 UL49.5Δ30-32 CT-null virus was made and tested. This mutant virus was then used to incorporate additional changes, e.g., the glycoprotein E cytoplasmic-tail deletion, the Us9 deletion, or both. This triple mutant BHV-1 UL49.5Δ30-32 CT-null/gE CTΔ/Us9Δ virus will be superior to the current BHV-1 mutants because the mutant virus will not be shed following reactivation, will be a DIVA based on gE CT-specific serum antibodies, and will induce better protective response by inducing higher SN titers and better cellular immune response. This new virus will have sufficient viral replication in the nasal epithelium and will be a good vaccine for protection of cattle from BHV-1. The new mutant viruses can also be used as vectors for exogenous genes.

摘要:
The present invention provides a human dose of an immunogenic composition comprising an antigen or antigenic preparation, in combination with an adjuvant which adjuvant comprises an immunologically active saponin fraction derived from the bark of Quillaja Saponaria Molina presented in the form of a liposome and a lipopolysaccharide wherein said saponin fraction and said lipopolysaccharide are both present in said human dose at a level of below 30 μg. The present invention further provides an adjuvant composition in a human dose suitable volume comprising between 1 and 30 μg of a lipopolysaccharide and between 1 and 30 μg of an immunologically active saponin fraction presented in the form of a liposome.
