The present specification discloses recombinant nucleic acid constructs encoding an immunogenic multiepitope polypeptide comprising two or more polypeptides, recombinant nucleic acid constructs encoding at least two epitopes from two or more internal proteins of influenza virus, compositions comprising such recombinant nucleic acid constructs and methods of eliciting a T cell immune response against an influenza virus in a vertebrate using such recombinant nucleic acid constructs and compositions.

The invention relates to the field of prophylaxis and therapy of cancer. Provided is a Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) or peptide fragments hereof that are capable of eliciting anti-cancer immune responses. Specifically, the invention relates to the use of IDO or peptides derived herefrom or IDO specific T-cells for treatment of cancer. The invention thus relates to an anti-cancer vaccine which optionally may be used in combination with other immunotherapies and to IDO specific T-cells adoptively transferred or induced in vivo by vaccination as a treatment of cancer. The invention also provides that the medicaments herein provided may be used in combination with cancer chemotherapy treatment. The invention further provides the prophylaxis and therapy of infections by the same means as described above. The use of IDO and immunogenic peptide fragments hereof in cancer and infection treatment, diagnosis and prognosis is also provided.

The invention relates to a novel reconstitution composition, a pharmaceutical composition and kit of parts comprising said reconstitution composition. The invention further relates to a method of treatment using said pharmaceutical composition and/or the pharmaceutical composition for use as a medicament. Also provided is a method for reconstituting dried peptides and a method for preparing a pharmaceutical composition using the reconstitution composition of the invention.

Betacoronavirus Spike proteins, or fragments thereof, including substitution mutations designed to increase stability, decrease the risk of antibody dependent enhancement, or both; and that are useful in, for example, immunogenic compositions.

Embodiments of the disclosure include methods and compositions directed to targeting of cells that express the long form of Bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2 (BST2) protein, including cancer cells that express the long isoform of BST2. In particular embodiments, monoclonal antibodies or functionally active fragments thereof are utilized to target cells that express the long isoform of BST2. The monoclonal antibodies or functionally active fragments thereof may be utilized by themselves or as part of other entities, such as cells or engineered antigen receptors. The disclosure includes methods of treatment, prevention, and/or diagnosis using the encompassed antibodies or functional fragments thereof.

Provided herein are methods and compositions for the delivery of at least two active, therapeutic, or pharmaceutical agents in an oil-in-water emulsion, wherein at least one agent is delivered in the hydrophobic phase of the emulsion and at least one agent is delivered in the aqueous phase of the emulsion.

The present invention relates to monovalent influenza vaccine formulations and vaccination regimes for immunising against influenza disease, their use in medicine, in particular their use in augmenting immune responses to various antigens, and to methods of preparation. In particular, the invention relates to monovalent influenza immunogenic compositions comprising an influenza antigen or antigenic preparation thereof from an influenza virus strain being associated with a pandemic outbreak or having the potential to be associated with a pandemic outbreak, in combination with an oil-in-water emulsion adjuvant comprising a metabolisable oil, a sterol and/or a tocopherol such as alpha tocopherol, and an emulsifying agent.

Cancer is treated via a coordinated treatment regimen that use various compounds and compositions that employ a combination vaccination together with immune modulatory treatment and biasing of an immune response towards a Th1 profile.

An immunogenic composition comprising: (i) a non-virion influenza virus antigen, prepared from a virus grown in cell culture; and (ii) an adjuvant. Preferred adjuvants comprise oil-in-water emulsions.

The present invention relates to prime-boost regimens that involve the administration of at least one mRNA construct, such as the use of such constructs in “boost” administration subsequently to “prime” administration of certain other antigenic composition(s). Such inventive regimens may, in particular, be useful for the induction of an immune response in a subject, and/or the vaccination of such subject against infection from one or more pathogens, and/or the treatment or prevention of one or more diseases or conditions, including a tumour or cancer, allergy or autoimmune conditions, and/or a disease or condition associated with infection from a pathogen. The present invention further describes methods, uses, vaccination compositions, kits and packaged vaccine components related to or useful for one or more of such regimens.
