    摘要: The present invention relates to using lectin or lectin-like molecules to promote oligomerization of a glycoprotein or an immunologically and/or biologically active complex comprising glycoproteins. In particular, the invention provides compositions of a molecular complex comprising lectin molecules and immunologically and/or biologically active molecules. Methods of making such molecular complexes and methods of use of the compositions comprising such molecular complexes for the prevention and treatment of diseases, particularly cancer and infectious diseases, and for eliciting an immune response in a subject, are also provided.

    摘要: This application describes intracellular, cytoplasmic molecules that are translocated to the surface of a microorganism and participate in binding the microorganism to the surface of a host cell. Examples of such translocated molecules include glycerahdehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate dehydrogenase, and elongation factor-Tu. Regions of translocated molecules important for binding, as well as molecules which disrupt binding, are described. Antibodies directed to translocated molecules are also described.

    摘要: The invention is directed to the use of (i) a first antigen corresponding to a target antigen of interest, together with (ii) a second antigen, corresponding to a modified form of the target antigen, whose rate of intracellular proteolytic degradation is increased, enhanced or otherwise elevated relative to the first antigen, in compositions and methods for inducing both humoral and cellular immunity in an individual. The ability to provide compositions, which are capable of inducing both host-protective antibody and cell-mediated immune responses, facilitates the generation of immunogenic compositions capable of combating, inter alia, conditions that have long latency periods and, therefore, benefit from the dual approach of prophylaxis and therapy in one delivery.

    摘要: Polynucleotides encoding at least one immunizing antigen whose expression is controlled by a promoter derived from a gene encoding a co-stimulatory molecule are provided. The polynucleotides may also encode adjuvants. Compositions comprising at least one immunizing agent and at least one cytokine that enhance dendritic cell stimulation and/or survival are also provided. Methods for eliciting an immune response against the immunizing agent are also provided. The method includes the steps of administering the polynucleotides and, optionally, co-administering an adjuvant.

    摘要: Compositions and methods for the treatment or prevention of neurodegenerative diseases caused by the accumulation of prions. Therapeutic vaccines, antisera and molecular constructs are described. The vaccine is composed of an antigen, such as a prion peptide fragment or epitope that is preferably provided in a liposomal bilayer. In a preferred embodiment, the antigen is a modified amyloid peptide, preferably a palmitoylated PrPc106-126 peptide. Preferably, the antigen is administered in a liposomal bilayer. When administered to an animal, the vaccine elicits a local or systemic, immunogen-specific immune response against amyloid proteins, peptides or fragments, and prevents, stops or hinders amyloid deposition caused by prions.
