摘要:
The present disclosure provides methods, vaccines and kits for potentiating an immune response to an antigen in a subject. The methods comprise administering to the subject at least one dose of a depot-forming vaccine comprising one or more antigens in a hydrophobic carrier; and subsequently administering to the subject at least one dose of a non-depot-forming vaccine comprising the one or more antigens.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides adjuvanting systems comprising: (a) a polyI:C polynucleotide adjuvant; (b) a lipid-based adjuvant;(c) an amphipathic compound; and (d) a hydrophobic carrier. Also provided are vaccine compositions that are water-free or substantially free of water, which comprise the same components together with one or more antigens. The disclosure also provides uses for such compositions in inducing an antibody (humoral) and/or cell-mediated immune response and methods for their use in the treatment of a disease, disorder or ailment ameliorated by an antibody and/or cell-mediated immune response.
摘要:
The present invention provides immunocontraceptive vaccines comprising a zona pellucida (ZP) polypeptide construct, and/or a variant thereof, from a carnivorous mammal such as cat, dog, ferret or mink. Such vaccines are useful in reducing fertility of cats and/or dogs.
摘要:
The invention provides a composition comprising: an antigen; liposomes; a polyI:C polynucleotide; and a carrier comprising a continuous phase of a hydrophobic substance. Methods for making and using the compositions are also provided.

摘要:
The present disclosure provides methods, uses and compositions and kits for use in inducing an antibody immune response in a human subject. The methods and uses involve administering parenterally a low dose volume of a composition comprising an antigen comprising a B-cell epitope, an amphipathic compound, and a hydrophobic carrier, wherein the low dose volume of the composition is less than 100 µl and induces an antibody immune response to the B-cell epitope in the human subject.
摘要:
The present invention provides compositions comprising an antigen, an amphipathic compound and a hydrophobic carrier, wherein the antigen is suspended in said hydrophobic carrier in the substantial absence of water and methods of using these compositions for inducing an antibody or cell-mediated response in a subject.
摘要:
The invention compositions comprising a continuous hydrophobic phase and liposomes as a vehicle for delivery of an antigen capable of inducing a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response and methods for their use in the treatment of cancer.
摘要:
The invention provides lipid A mimics in which one or both of the sugar residues of a natural lipid A disaccharide backbone has been replaced with an aromatic group. These lipid A mimics may further differ from a natural lipid A molecule with respect to other structural characteristics, such as, a different number of phosphate groups present, changes in the number, structure and location of lipid chains and/or changes in the spacing and linkage of the sugar residues (or their aromatic replacements). The lipid A mimics may be lipid A agonists and as such may be useful as immunostimulatory agents in inducing or patenting an antibody and/or cell-mediated immune response, or may be lipid A antagonists and as such may be useful in treating or preventing a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/lipid A-mediated disease or disorder. Also provided are methods for preparing the lipid A mimics.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for improving the efficacy of a vaccine in the treatment of cancer. The methods of the invention comprise the administration of at least two doses of an agent that interferes with DNA replication prior to vaccination with a survivin vaccine. Also provided are compositions for use in the methods of the invention.
