An immunogenic composition comprising of Diphtheria toxoid antigen (D), tetanus toxoid (T) antigen, Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), inactivated whole-cell B. pertussis (wP) antigen, Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) capsular saccharide conjugated to a carrier protein, Inactivated Polio Virus (IPV) antigen and additionally one or more antigens and the method of preparing the same. A fully liquid combination vaccine, showing improved immunogenicity, reduced reactogenicity and improved stability. Improved methods of formaldehyde inactivation, improved adsorption profile of Diphtheria toxoid antigen (D), tetanus toxoid (T) antigen and Hepatitis B (HepB) surface antigen adsorbed individually onto aluminium phosphate adjuvant, minimum total aluminum content (Al.sup.3+) and optimized concentration of 2-phenoxyethanol (2-PE) as preservative.

This application relates to methods for assessing patient populations and determining subpopulations vulnerable to viral infection, methods of reducing the risk of infection and/or inducing heterologous immunity to said viral infection.

The present disclosure relates to a fully liquid immunogenic composition comprising a combination of antigens/immunogens. The immunogenic composition comprises optimum amount of antigens/immunogens to confer protection against a number of diseases. The composition exhibits improved immunogenicity and stability. A process for preparing the vaccine composition is also disclosed.

The present invention is directed to improved methods of Enterovirus inactivation by formaldehyde in presence of tromethamine buffer resulting in maximum recovery of D-antigen. Subsequent adsorption of said sIPV on aluminium hydroxide provides significantly dose reduced sIPV compositions.

This invention provides an attenuated virus which comprises a modified viral genome containing nucleotide substitutions engineered in multiple locations in the genome, wherein the substitutions introduce synonymous deoptimized codons into the genome. The instant attenuated virus may be used in a vaccine composition for inducing a protective immune response in a subject. The invention also provides a method of synthesizing the instant attenuated virus. Further, this invention further provides a method for preventing a subject from becoming afflicted with a virus-associated disease comprising administering to the subject a prophylactically effective dose of a vaccine composition comprising the instant attenuated virus.

The invention concerns a novel viral vector with modified viral capsid or viral envelope; a pharmaceutical composition or immunogenic agent or vaccine comprising same; a target cell transformed or transfected with same; a combination therapeutic comprising same; use of same in treatment of cancer, and a method of treating cancer using same.

A film for administration to a mucosal membrane is provided. The film comprises a first film strip comprising a vaccine in a first film matrix comprising at least one film-forming agent, and at least one of a surfactant, emulsifier and/or a plasticizer, and a second film strip comprising an adjuvant in a second film matrix comprising at least one film-forming agent, and at least one of a surfactant, emulsifier and/or a plasticizer. The first and second strips of the film are laterally adjoined along an edge of the first and second strips to provide a single layer film in which the vaccine and adjuvant are not admixed prior to administration.

The present disclosure relates to recombinant rhesus cytomegalovirus (RhCMV) and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) vectors encoding heterologous antigens, such as pathogen-specific antigens or tumor antigens, which may be used, for example, for the treatment or prevention of infectious disease or cancer. The recombinant RhCMV or HCMV vectors elicit and maintain high level cellular immune responses specific for the heterologous antigen while including deletions in one or more genes essential or augmenting for CMV replication, dissemination or spread.
