The present invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition including (e.g. for use as an adjuvant) a polymeric carrier cargo complex, comprising as a carrier a polymeric carrier formed by disulfide-crosslinked cationic components; and as a cargo at least one nucleic acid molecule, and at least one antigen that is selected from an antigen from a pathogen associated with infectious disease; an antigen associated with allergy or allergic disease; an antigen associated with autoimmune disease; or an antigen associated with a cancer or tumour disease, or in each case a fragment, variant and/or derivative of said antigen. The pharmaceutical composition allows for efficient induction of an adaptive immune response directed against said antigen. The present invention furthermore provides kits, as well as the use of the pharmaceutical composition or the kit as a vaccine, particularly in the treatment of infectious diseases, allergies, autoimmune diseases and tumour or cancer diseases.

Polyvalent, primary isolate nucleic acid compositions for inducing an immune response against HIV are disclosed. The compositions and methods described herein are for the use of a nucleic acid composition that encodes one or more different HIV envelope glycoproteins. The synthetic, codon-optimized DNAs encoding one or more HIV proteins are a combination of different nucleic acids, such as DNA plasmids, generated from primary isolate DNA of different HIV major group genetic clades and/or different proteins. HIV polypeptide compositions for inducing an immune response against HIV are also disclosed. Methods for using the polypeptide compositions before, at the same time as, and/or after administration of the DNA compositions are provided.

Disclosed herein are methods of forming compounds and exemplary stable compounds in the nature of a conjugated compound at refrigerated or room temperature, which in some embodiments comprises an antigen and virus particle mixed in a conjugation reaction to form a conjugate mixture, such that the conditions and steps of forming these products allow for use of the conjugate mixture as a vaccine, including but not limited to use as a vaccine against various pathogens including for treatment of diseases caused by novel coronaviruses (including SARS-COV 2).

The present invention relates to, in part, compositions comprising improved flagellin derived constructs and methods of using for vaccination, including adjuvants comprising flagellin-based agents.

Disclosed herein relates to immunotherapeutic compositions comprising immunotherapeutic peptides comprising neoepitopes, polynucleotides encoding the immunotherapeutic peptides, antigen presenting cells comprising the immunotherapeutic peptides or polynucleotides, or T cell receptors specific for the neoepitopes. Also disclosed herein is use of the immunotherapeutic compositions.

The present invention relates to the construction and application of a fusion protein vaccine platform. The present invention provides a vaccine, comprising a fusion protein containing an interferon-target antigen-immunoglobulin Fc region (or antibody) and a Th cell helper epitope. The present invention also relates to use of a fusion protein containing an interferon-target antigen-immunoglobulin Fc region (or antibody) and a Th cell helper epitope in the preparation of prophylactic or therapeutic compositions. The vaccine of the present invention can be produced by eukaryotic cell expression systems to prepare wild-type and various mutant antigen vaccines, and vaccination by means of subcutaneous/muscular or nasal or other routes can lead to a strong immune response to a body. The vaccine of the present invention can be used as a prophylactic or therapeutic vaccine.

The present disclosure provides adoptive T-cell compositions, therapies, and processes of manufacture that are tailored for treatment or prevention of a subject with a norovirus infection, and, in some embodiments, for those subjects who are candidates for hematopoietic stem cell treatments, subjects who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell treatments, and subjects that have, are diagnosed with or suspected of having primary immunodeficiency disorders.

The present invention provides a vaccine for preventing and/or treating infections with human papillomavirus. The present invention relates to a lipid particle encapsulating a nucleic acid molecule capable of expressing the E6 and E7 antigens of human papillomavirus, wherein the lipid comprises a cationic lipid represented by general formula (Ia) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:

##STR00001##

wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each independently represent a C.sub.1-C.sub.3 alkyl group;
L.sup.1 represents a C.sub.17-C.sub.19 alkenyl group which may have one or a plurality of C.sub.2-C.sub.4 alkanoyloxy groups;
L.sup.2 represents a C.sub.10-C.sub.19 alkyl group which may have one or a plurality of C.sub.2-C.sub.4 alkanoyloxy groups or a C.sub.10-C.sub.19 alkenyl group which may have one or a plurality of C.sub.2-C.sub.4 alkanoyloxy groups; and
p is 3 or 4.

Provided are a vaccine adjuvant composition including, as an active ingredient, bavachin capable of improving antibody titer and enhancing cellular immunity and humoral immunity when administered together with an antigen, a vaccine preparation including the bavachin and an antigen, a method of promoting an immune response, the method including the step of administering the vaccine adjuvant composition to a subject together with a vaccine composition or before and after administration of the vaccine composition, and a vaccine adjuvant composition for promoting an immune response, the vaccine adjuvant composition including the bavachin. Since the vaccine adjuvant composition of the present invention includes bavachin isolated from an extract of Psoralea corylifolia, of which safety has been secured, it may exhibit safety and may enhance both the humoral and cellular immune responses as well as the titer of antibodies generated by antigens.
