The present invention relates to an immunogenic complex comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 80% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence of the N-terminal region of a group B Streptococcus surface protein, and a capsular polysaccharide. The immunogenic complex is capable of eliciting protective immunity against group B Streptococcus. The invention further pertains to an immunogenic product comprising the immunogenic complex and an immunogenic fusion protein, the vaccine, the immunogenic complex, or the immunogenic product for use in a method of preventing or treating a group B Streptococcus infection, as well as a method of preventing or treating a group B Streptococcus infection.

Compositions nod methods are provided for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections, including pneumococcal infections. Compositions provided herein comprise a variety immunogenic fusion proteins, wherein at least one polypeptide component of a given fusion protein comprises a CbpA polypeptide and/or a cytolysoid polypeptide, or an active variant or fragment thereof. Methods are provided for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections, including pneumococcal infections by employing die various immunogenic fusion proteins having at least one polypeptide component comprising a CbpA polypeptide and/or acytolysoid polypeptide, or an active variant or fragment thereof.

Compositions comprising an antigen, a carbohydrate, and a metabolizable oil, methods of administering such compositions to a subject, methods of making such compounds, and related compositions, methods, and uses.

Compositions and methods are provided for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections, including pneumococcal infections. Compositions provided herein comprise a variety of immunogenic fusion proteins, wherein at least one polypeptide component of a given fusion protein comprises a CbpA polypeptide and/or a cytolysoid polypeptide, or an active variant or fragment thereof. Methods are provided for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections, including pneumococcal infections by employing the various immunogenic fusion proteins having at least one polypeptide component comprising a CbpA polypeptide and/or a cytolysoid polypeptide, or an active variant or fragment thereof.

A vaccine composition for prophylaxis and treatment of Chikungunya virus infections is disclosed which is capable of conferring immunity against any genotypic variants of the Chikungunya virus. More particularly the invention discloses particular nucleotide sequences and their translated proteins thereof, which may be expressed as Virus Like Particles which for use as a vaccine antigens against Chikungunya virus infections. The compositions disclosed in this invention are also protective against any genotypic variants of the Chikungunya virus which may be propagated by any suitable vector of the disease including Aedis albopictus and Aedis aegypti.

The present application is generally directed to methods for identifying immunogens from organisms and pathogens, and in particular for identifying immunogens which when administered as vaccines elicit a cellular and/or humoral immune response. The present application is also directed to pneumococcal T-cell immunogens, and vaccine compositions comprising one or a combination of pneumococcal immunogens and methods for treating or preventing pneumococcal infections using the vaccines thereof. The present invention also encompasses use of the pneumococcal immunogens for diagnostic purposes to identify a subject with a pneumococcal infection.

The present invention relates to vaccines comprising at least one mRNA encoding at least one antigen for use in the treatment of a disease in newborns and/or infants, preferably exhibiting an age of not more than 2 years, preferably of not more than 1 year, more preferably of not more than 9 months or even 6 months, wherein the treatment comprises vaccination of the newborn or infant and eliciting an immune response in said newborn or infant. The present invention is furthermore directed to kits and kits of parts comprising such a vaccine and/or its components and to methods applying such a vaccine or kit.

This disclosure provides a new vaccine composition and methods for its use. The composition contains an effective amount of each of: an aluminum hydroxide, a mono-phosphoryl lipid (MPL), and a whole glucan particles (WGP) but no an antigen that raises an immune response against a bacterial or fungal infection.

An intradermal delivery system comprises an immunogenic composition comprising a TLR agonist and immunogen and a microneedle. The immunogenic composition may comprise a solid biodegradable microneedle or a solid coated microneedle. The intradermal delivery system may be formulated into a skin patch.

This disclosure relates to soluble β-glucan immunotherapies that affect the tumor microenvironment. The soluble β-glucan immunotherapies promote an immunostimulatory environment, which enhances the effectiveness of the combination of anti-angiogenics and checkpoint inhibitors.
