摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for formulating acid stabilized oral bacterial vaccine, more particularly a combination of whole cell inactivated bacteria and acid stabilized rCTB (recombinant cholera toxin B) resulting in synergistic protection against diarrhea caused by various bacteria such as Vibrio cholerae, Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC).
摘要:
Insertion of HIV-1 V3 loop peptides from the viral glycoprotein gp120 into selected, immunogenic scaffold proteins results in a recombinant polypeptide that is a poten V3 immunogen. V3 immunogens include natural and consensus V3 sequences and cyclic and reverse peptides. Preferred scaffold proteins are Cholera Toxin subunit B and homologues thereof including closely related E. coli enterotoxins. Such immunogenic polypeptides induce broadly reactive anti-gp120 antibodies specific for V3 epitopes that can neutalize heterologous HIV-1 subtypes and strains. These polypeptide, methods for preparing them, and methods for inducing anti-gp120 (V3-specific) antibody responses using them disclosed.
摘要:
The invention relates to a microorganism as a carrier of nucleotide sequences coding for antigens and protein toxins comprising the following components: (I) at least one nucleotide sequence coding for at least one complete or partial antigen of at least one wild-type or mutated protein; and (II) at least one nucleotide sequence coding for at least one protein toxin and/or at least one protein toxin subunit; and (III) a) at least one nucleotide sequence coding for at least one transport system which enables the expression of the expression products of component (I) and component (II) on the outer surface of the microorganism and/or enables the secretion of the expression products of component (I) and component (II); and/or coding for at least one signal sequence which enables the secretion of the expression products of component (I) and component (II); and/or (III) b) optionally, at least one nucleotide sequence coding for at least one protein for lysing the microorganism in the cytosol of mammalian cells and for intracellularly releasing plasmids or expression vectors, which are contained in the lysed microorganism; and (IV) at least one nucleotide sequence for at least one activation sequence for the expression of one or more of components (I) to (III), wherein said activation sequence can be activated in the microorganism and/or is tissue cell-specific, tumor cell-specific, macrophage-specific, dendrite-specific, lymphocyte-specific, function-specific or non-cell-specific"; wherein any of components (I) to (IV) can be present either once or several times and either identical or different. Also disclosed are a process of manufacturing thereof, corresponding plasmids or expression vectors and uses of the microorganism as a medicament.
摘要:
The present application discloses an immunogenic composition comprising N. meningitidis capsular polysaccharides from at least one of serogroups A, C, W135 and Y conjugated to a carrier protein to produce a N. meningitidis capsular polysaccharide conjugate, wherein the average size of each N. meningitidis polysaccharide is above 50kDa.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising Salmonella or Vibrio cholerae useful for the treatment or prevention of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
摘要:
The invention relates to a method of eliciting a T cell response against a T cell epitope in a host mammalian subject, which method comprises : (i) a first immunisation that comprises at least two administrations which are from 1 to 14 days apart to the subject, wherein each administration comprises administering a nucleotide of interest (NOI) encoding the T cell epitope, and optionally (ii) a second immunisation that comprises at least one administration to the subject of (a) a NOI encoding the T cell epitope, or (b) a protein comprising the T cell epitope, wherein the time between the first administration of the first immunisation, and the first administration of the second immunisation, is from 21 to 365 days.
