摘要:
The present disclosure provides vaccine formulations comprising at least one peptide antigen assembly and at least one adjuvant. The disclosure also provides methods of inducing an immune response in a mammal and methods of treating a disease in a mammal utilizing the vaccine formulations.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides vaccine compositions comprising at least one adjuvant and at least one antigen, wherein the adjuvant is a cationic lipid. The disclosure also provides methods of treating a disease in a mammal, methods of preventing a disease in a mammal, and methods of effecting antigen cross presentation to induce a humoral immune response and a cellular immune response in a mammal utilizing the vaccine compositions. Cross presentation of various antigens can be achieved by formulating the specific antigens with cationic lipids possessing adjuvant properties.
摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for stimulating an immune response using cationic lipids alone or in combination with antigens.
摘要:
A composition and method for activating immune cells ex-vivo, or inducing an immune response in a subject including a composition comprising at least one chiral cationic lipid. The chiral cationic lipid in one embodiment comprises a nonsteroidal cationic lipid having a structure represented by formula (I); wherein in R 1 is a quaternary ammonium group, Y 1 is a spacer chosen from a hydrocarbon chain, an ester, a ketone, and a peptide, C* is a chiral carbon, R 2 and R 3 are independently chosen from a saturated fatty acid, an unsaturated fatty acid, an ester-linked hydrocarbon, phosphor-diesters, and combinations thereof.
摘要:
The invention covers the use of certain classes of lipids including cationic lipids in ex-vivo dendritic cell therapies. The cationic lipids enhance antigen uptake, processing and presentation of the processed antigens by dendritic cells to CD8+ and CD4+ T-cells via the MHC classes I and II presentation pathways respectively. Antigen uptake via cationic lipid by dendritic cells result in significant lowering of the population of the immune suppressive regulatory T cells in the tumors and a significant increase of the tumor targeting cytotoxic T-cells. Loss of regulatory T cells and increase of tumor specific cytotoxic cells are conducive to effective elimination of the tumors.
