    摘要: Methods for eliciting in an animal in need thereof a cell-mediated immune response specific to an antigen, the method comprising providing an antigen preparation comprising particles on the surface of which the antigen is attached, and administering the antigen preparation to the animal, wherein the particles are taken up by antigen presenting cells (APC) of the animal via phagocytosis, forming a phagosome inside the APC, wherein the antigen is attached to the surface of the particle in such a way that the antigen is released in the phagosome before the phagosome fuses with a late endosome or a lysosome, and wherein the antigen is cross-presented on a Class I MHC molecule. Also provided are particulate antigen preparations or particulate vaccines that can be delivered to an animal in need thereof for vaccination against, for preventing or treating, a disease related to the antigen, such as cancer and a viral infection.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods and compositions for stimulating an immune response or modulating cell signal transduction in a host by administering to said host a composition comprising at least three biomodulatory molecules connected by at least one cross-linking agent forming a chain or matrix wherein the chain or matrix functions as an immuno-stimulatory adjuvant to activate an immune accessory cell. The composition may comprise one or more types of biomodulatory molecules selected from the group consisting of cytokines, bacterial molecules, receptor ligands, antigen binding fragments of antibodies, heat shock proteins, and integrins. The composition may further comprise one or more disease- specific antigens to stimulate an immune response. The disease-specific antigens may be selected from the group consisting of tumor-associated antigens, infectious disease-associated antigens, autoimmune-associated antigens, parasitic antigens, bacterial antigens, and viral antigens. In addition the composition may further comprise a solid support to which the cross-linked biomodulatory molecules are affixed. The solid support may be selected from the group consisting of Dextran, chitosan, alginate, poly-DL lactide polyglycolide, polyglycolide, or alum.

    摘要: The present invention provides immunostimulatory compositions. Generally, the immunostimulatory compositions include at least partially purified conjugates that include at least one IRM moiety covalently coupled to an antigenic peptide. In some embodiments, the immunostimulatory composition includes monomeric conjugates. In other embodiments, the immunostimulatory composition includes an aggregate of a conjugate and at least one other antigenic peptide (e.g., another conjugate and/or unconjugated peptide). The present invention also provides methods of using such immunostimulatory compositions. In some embodiments, the methods include inducing an immune response by contacting the immunostimulatory composition with an immune cell. In other embodiments, the method includes treating a condition by administering an immunostimulatory composition to a subject in an amount effective to ameliorate at least one symptom or clinical sign of the condition.
