摘要:
Plasmodium P47 D2 polypeptides, products, compositions and kits containing such polypeptides and methods (processes) of making and using such polypeptides in analytical, research, diagnostic and human and animal health applications. Also described are nucleotide sequences encoding P47 D2 polypeptides, compositions and kits containing such nucleotide sequences and methods of making and using such nucleotide compositions. The above compositions and methods may be used to reduce transmission of Plasmodium parasites and to produce antibodies having useful properties, such as a transmission-blocking of Plasmodium parasites. Also described are anti-P47 D2 antibodies, including polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies having Plasmodium transmission blocking activity.
摘要:
A composition or combination comprising at least a first immunogenic component and at least a second adjuvant component, wherein the first immunogenic component comprises at least one nucleic acid molecule encoding at least one epitope of at least one antigen, and wherein the second adjuvant component comprises at least one immune potentiator compound and/or at least one delivery system compound.
摘要:
Disclosed is a vaccine comprising an antigen and CD40L, wherein the antigen may be encoded by a first nucleic acid and CD40L may be encoded by a second nucleic acid. Also disclosed are methods for increasing an immune response in a subject, the methods comprise administering the vaccine to the subject in need thereof. Further disclosed is the antigen selected from the group consisting of a human papilloma virus (HPV) antigen, a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antigen, an influenza antigen, and a Plasmodium falciparum antigen.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a vaccine comprising an antigen and checkpoint inhibitor. Also disclosed herein is a method for enhancing an immune response in a subject. The method may comprise administering the vaccine to the subject in need thereof.
摘要:
Some embodiments of the invention include inventive polypeptides (e.g., mutant VP2 proteins) and virus-like particles made from the inventive polypeptides. Other embodiments of the invention include compositions for treating (e.g., preventing) parvovirus (e.g., erythrovirus or parvovirus B19) infection and other diseases. Further embodiments include methods for administering compositions to an animal. Other embodiments include treating (e.g., preventing) parvovirus (e.g., erythrovirus or parvovirus B19) infection and other diseases. Still other embodiments include nucleic acid sequences that encode the inventive polypeptides. Additional embodiments of the invention are also discussed.
摘要:
The instant invention provides for novel lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations, containing cationic lipids, for use as vaccine adjuvants and/or as antigen delivery systems. It is an object of the instant invention to provide LNP formulations that demonstrate enhancements in humoral and cellular immunogenicity of vaccine antigens, particularly subunit vaccine antigens, when utilized alone or in combination with immunostimulatory agents (e.g. small molecule or oligonucleotide TLR agonists). The instant invention further identifies physical and chemical properties of the LNP formulations that can be manipulated to enhance antigen efficiency and adjuvant tolerability in vivo.
摘要:
The invention relates, in part, to nanoparticles, methods for preparing nanoparticles and methods of administering nanoparticles for immune stimulation. An immune-stimulating nanoparticle of the invention may include, at least in part, a polymer substrate comprising a biodegradable polymer and may include at least one antigen and/or at least one adjuvant.
摘要:
This disclosure provides antibodies that are useful for preventing and/or treating malaria. The epitope to which the antibodies bind is in close proximity to the conserved proteolytic cleavage site of P. falciparum circumsporozoite protein (CSP), and the antibodies provided in this disclosure can prevent cleavage and inhibit P. falciparum sporozoites from invading the liver.
