In one aspect, the invention relates to a composition including a first polypeptide having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 and a second polypeptide having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2. In one embodiment, the composition includes about 120 μg/ml of a first polypeptide including the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, 120 μg/ml of a second polypeptide including the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2, about 2.8 molar ratio polysorbate-80 to the first polypeptide, about 2.8 molar ratio polysorbate-80 to the second polypeptide, about 0.5 mg/ml aluminum, about 10 mM histidine, and about 150 mM sodium chloride. In one embodiment, a dose of the composition is about 0.5 ml in total volume. In one embodiment, two-doses of the composition induce a bactericidal titer against diverse heterologous subfamily A and subfamily B strains in a human.

Immunogenic composition

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 50 kDa.

Methods for predicting tumor response to immunotherapy

Methods of testing tumor samples for mutational burden and/or for expression profiles permit the prediction of responsiveness of an individual to immunotherapy comprising PVSRIPO. Those predicted to respond are treated with PVSRIPO and those predicted not to respond are treated with other agents.

The present invention relates to a vaccine pharmaceutical composition containing an antigen for humoral immunity induction and at least one Th2 reaction promoter.

IMMUNE-INDUCTION-PROMOTING COMPOSITION INCLUDING NUCLEAR RECEPTOR LIGAND, AND VACCINE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION

The present invention aims to provide a composition for promoting immunity induction and a vaccine pharmaceutical composition which are universally usable for inducing immunity to various antigens and capable of exerting a high immunity inducing effect. The present invention relates to a composition for promoting immunity induction containing at least one nuclear receptor ligand and also relates to a vaccine pharmaceutical composition for inducing immunity containing an antigen and a composition for promoting immunity induction that is at least one nuclear receptor ligand.

Multivalent vaccine composition

Stable, immunogenic combination vaccine(s) comprising a mixture of antigens for prevention and prophylaxis of infections caused by Rotavirus, Poliomyelitis virus, Haemophilus influenzae, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Clostridium tetani, Bordetella pertussis and Hepatitis B virus. A multivalent combination vaccine comprises i) significantly dose-reduced Salk-IPV or Sabin-IPV (IPV) antigens prepared by methods of formaldehyde inactivation and alum hydroxide adsorption resulting in maximum D-antigen recovery; ii) Injectable heat inactivated Rotavirus antigen(s) providing broad cross-protective immunity among human rotavirus strains; iii) Hib PRP-carrier protein conjugate having improved stability and immunogenicity; iv) whole cell pertussis antigen with improved immunogenicity and stability; and v) Homogenous fractions of Diphtheria and Tetanus toxoids. Such stable and immunogenic vaccine compositions are made by i) individually adsorbing dose reduced IPV, IRV antigens on alum hydroxide and keeping other antigen(s) unadsorbed or adsorbed on alum phosphate, alum hydroxide, or a combination thereof; and ii) using an order of addition of antigens during blending.
