Disclosed is a stable immunogenic composition capable of eliciting a robust and durable immune response, comprising at least one antigen consisting of a filovirus glycoprotein and at least one nano-emulsion adjuvant which are co-lyophilized and can be reconstituted immediately prior to use. Also disclosed is a vaccine composition comprising at least two antigens, wherein each antigen is specific to a different genus of filovirus and which also comprises at least one nano-emulsion adjuvant.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for manufacturing an adjuvant comprising an aminoalkyl glucosaminide phosphate compound or glucopyranosyl lipid adjuvant using a microfluidic device and to related aspects.

There is provided a method of treating chronic hepatitis B infection (CHB) and/or chronic hepatitis D infection (CHD) in a human, comprising the steps of: a) administering to the human a composition comprising an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) 10 to 30 nucleosides in length, targeted to a HBV nucleic acid (an HBV ASO); b) administering to the human a composition comprising a replication-defective chimpanzee adenoviral (ChAd) vector comprising a polynucleotide encoding a hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs) and a nucleic acid encoding a hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBc); c) administering to the human a composition comprising a Modified Vaccinia Virus Ankara (MVA) vector comprising a polynucleotide encoding a hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs) and a nucleic acid encoding a hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBc); and d) administering to the human a composition comprising a recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs), recombinant hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBc) and an adjuvant.

The present application relates to triterpene glycoside saponin-derived adjuvants, syntheses thereof, and intermediates thereto. The application also provides salt forms, formulations, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of the present invention and methods of using said compounds, salt forms, or compositions in the treatment of and immunization for infectious diseases.

The present disclosure relates to immunogenic compositions comprising a varicella zoster vims (VZV) glycoprotein E antigen and a toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist, such as an oligonucleotide comprising an unmethylated cytidine-phospho-guanosine (CpG) motif. The immunogenic compositions are suitable for stimulating an immune response against VZV in an individual in need thereof.

Described herein are dry powder compositions of liposomes, liposomal adjuvant or liposomal adjuvanted vaccines. Formulations containing a cryoprotectant can be converted to dry powders using, e.g., thin-film freeze-drying (TFFD). The composition may comprise a liposomal adjuvant, such as AS01.sub.B adjuvant, or also including an antigen, i.e., AS01.sub.B-adjuvanted vaccine compositions.

A number of triterpene saponin variants with different modifications on their central glycosyl ester linkage are described. Also described are methods of making and method of using such triterpene saponin variants.

Stable lyophilized immunogenic compositions include inter alia live attenuated recombinant flaviviruses, more preferably live attenuated recombinant dengue viruses, at least one carbohydrate, at least one amino acid and is particularly amenable to rapid freeze-drying treatments wherein, the composition preserves desired characteristics of a virus, including virus viability, immunogenicity and stability. The immunogenic composition is devoid of preservatives, polymers and surfactants. The methods for manufacturing the stable lyophilized immunogenic compositions are also provided.

Methods are provided for preparing and delivering an adjuvant for vaccines including lecithin, polymer and one or more additives. The polymer is preferably polyacrylic acid-based. The additive is preferably one or more of a glycoside and a sterol. The method of preparation includes hydrating lecithin and a polymer in saline or water and mixing the lecithin and polymer to form the adjuvant. Additives can be included prior to or after hydration of the lecithin and polymer.

The present invention provides both QuilA-loaded chitosan (QAC)-encapsulated NA vaccine compositions and viral vaccine compositions that encode an Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) spike (S) protein, an IBV nucleocapsid (N) protein, or both the S protein and the N protein. Additionally, the present invention provides methods in which the disclosed vaccines are administered to a subject to induce an immune response against IBV or to vaccinate the subject against IBV.
