Adenocarcinoma antigenic determinants, methods for their production and use, and broadly-specific human monoclonal antibodies reactive to the epitopes. These epitopes, which can be physically recapitulated, are conserved across a range of adenocarcinomas and are capable of eliciting an immune response in humans.

The present invention provides an adjuvant for cancer antigen peptide vaccines and virus antigen peptides, containing a pertussis vaccine as a primary ingredient. The present invention also provides a therapeutic agent for a cancer or viral infectious disease, and a prophylactic agent for metastasis or recurrence of cancer or onset of virus-induced tumor, containing a cancer antigen peptide or virus antigen peptide and a pertussis vaccine. A pertussis vaccine that can be suitably used is a whole cell body pertussis vaccine. The agents of the present invention can be safely administered in a plurality of doses.

The invention provides an analytical method for detecting bladder cancer by analysing a urine sample for presence of a glycan tumour antigen, the presence of which has been identified to indicate bladder cancer. The analytical method has the advantage that the tumour antigen can be analysed in a urine sample and has a high accuracy for indicating presence of cancer in the urinary tract, especially bladder cancer, e.g. the method has a low rate of false positive results.

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.

The present invention provides attenuated P. multocida strains that elicit an immune response in animal P. multocida, compositions comprising said strains, methods of vaccination against P. multocida, and kits for use with such methods and compositions. The invention further provides novel, genetically-engineered mutations in P. multocida hyaD and nanPU genes, which are useful in the production of novel attenuated P. multocida bacterial strains.

The invention provides therapeutic compositions that present an artificial repertoire of mammalian pattern recognition receptor (PRR) agonists, so that the pattern of PRR agonists recapitulates a distinct portion of a PRR agonist signature of a mammalian pathogen. The artificial repertoire of PRR agonists may be formulated together in a therapeutic vehicle for combined presentation to an innate immune cell resident in a target tissue in a mammalian host, and the vehicle adapted to deliver the PRR agonists to the target tissue, so as to modulate an immune response.

The present invention relates to novel stable bacterial extract preparations having substantial increased stability overtime, novel methods of preparation thereof, pharmaceutical formulations based on these novel stabilized bacterial extracts, as well as novel routes of administration and delivery devices for treating and/or preventing acute and chronic immunological disorders resulting from infections and/or inflammation and/or neoplasms and/or dysbiosis.

The invention provides compositions comprising bacterial strains for use as a vaccine adjuvant; for use in treating, preventing or delaying immunosenescence; or for use in enhancing a cell therapy, such as CAR-T. The invention also provides vaccine compositions comprising bacterial strains and one or more antigens.

The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for reducing the incidence, severity, and/or duration of at least one sign of respiratory infection. The methods include the steps of administering a composition comprising gastrointestinal microbiota and an immunogenic composition to an animal in need thereof.

The present disclosure relates, in some embodiments, to an immunogenic compositions for the treatment of cancer, methods of preparing an immunogenic composition for the treatment of cancer, and methods of treating cancer subjects with an immunogenic composition.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an immunogenic composition operable as a treatment of cancer in a subject having a subject weight, the immunogenic composition including: an immunoactive tissue extract comprising a protein composition, wherein the immunogenic composition has a final concentration of the protein composition of about 6 mg to about 10 mg of the protein composition per kg of the subject weight; an immune response activator comprising a BCG solution, wherein the immunogenic composition has a final concentration of the immune response activator of about 0.525 to about 0.725 mg of the BCG solution per mL of the immunogenic composition; and an immune response mitigator comprising a formaldehyde solution, wherein the immunogenic composition has a final concentration of the formaldehyde solution of about 0.005% to about 0.035%.
