摘要:
The invention relates to new immunomodulatory compositions which comprise a cationic condensing agent, an immunomodulatory compound, and a stabilizing agent. The compositions of the invention typically form particles which have increased immunomodulatory activity as compared to immunomodulatory compounds not formulated in the compositions of the invention. Also provided are methods of making the compositions and methods for therapeutic use of the compositions.
摘要:
Methods are provided for the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. A polynucleotide comprising an immunostimulatory sequence is administered to an individual who has been exposed to or infected by HBV and/or HCV. The polynucleotide is not administered with a HCV or HBV antigen. Administration of the polynucleotide results in amelioration of symptoms of HBV and/or HCV infection.
摘要:
The invention provides methods of preventing and/or treating infection by a respiratory virus such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), particularly reducing infection and/or one or more symptoms of respiratory virus infection. A polynucleotide comprising an immunostimulatory sequence (an "ISS") is administered to an individual which is at risk of bieing exposed to a respiratory virus, has been exposed to a respiratory virus or is infected with a respiratory virus. The ISS is administered without any antigens of the respiratory virus. Administration of the ISS results in reduced incidence and/or severity of one or more symptoms of respiratory virus infection.

The invention provides compositions of influenza proteins, such as matrix and nucleoprotein, that are presented to an individual's immune system as multimeric displays to induce an immune response. The compositions are optionally associated with any type of immunomodulatory compound (IMC) comprising an immunostimutatory sequences (ISS). The invention further provides compositions of influenza matrix and nucleoproteins that can induce cellular and/or humoral immune response. The invention also provides methods of making and using these compositions, e.g, as a vaccine, for ameliorating symptoms associated with infection with influenza virus or for reducing the risk of infection with influenza virus.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for the treatment of papillomavirus infections. A polynucleotide comprising an immunstimulatory sequence is administered to an individual who has been exposed to or infected by papillomavirus. The polynucleotide is not administered with papillomavirus antigen. Administration of the polynucleotide results in amelioration of symptoms of papillomavirus infection.
摘要:
The invention provides new methods of preventing and/or treating herpes virus infections, particularly reducing infection, one or more symptoms and recurrence of one or more symptoms of herpes simplex virus infection. A polynucleotide comprising an immunostimulatory sequence (an "ISS") is administered to an individual which is at risk of being exposed to alphaherpesvirinae, has been exposed to alphaherpesvirinae or is infected with alphaherpesvirinae. The ISS is administered without any alphaherpesvirinae antigens. Administration of the ISS results in reduced incidence, recurrence, and severity of one or more symptoms of alphaherpesvirinae infection.

摘要:
The invention provides methods of suppression, prevention, and/or treatment of infection by viruses. A polynucleotide comprising an immunostimulatory sequence (an "ISS") is administered to an individual who is at risk of being exposed to, has been exposed to or is infected with a virus. The ISS-containing polynucleotide is administered without any antigens of the virus. Administration of the ISS-containing polynucleotide results in reduced incidence and/or severity of one or more symptoms of virus infection.
摘要:
The invention provides new compositions and methods for immunomodulation of individuals. Immunomodulation is accomplished by administration of immunomodulatory polynucleotide/microcarrier (IMP/MC) complexes. The IMP/MC complexes may be covalently or non-covalently bound, and feature a polynucleotide comprising at least one immunostimulatory sequence bound to a biodegradable microcarrier or nanocarrier.
