Glycoconjugate vaccine for <i>leishmaniasis </i>
Certain embodiments are directed to an immunogenic composition comprising an immunogenic glycoconjugate comprising a glycan having the chemical formula of galactopyranose (Galp)-α(1,2)-R, Galp-α(1,3)-R, Galp-α(1,4)-R, or Galp-α(1,6)-R, wherein in R is any monosaccharide, oligosaccharide, or polysaccharide, coupled to a carrier peptide or protein. Certain aspects described herein are directed to compounds and therapies for treating Leishmania infections. In certain aspects, the glycoconjugates as described herein, are incorporated into pharmaceutical compositions or vaccines
HIV-1 ENV FUSION PEPTIDE NANOPARTICLE CARRIER CONJUGATES AND THEIR USE
Embodiments of immunogenic conjugates including the HIV-1 Env fusion peptide and methods of their use and production are disclosed. In several embodiments, the immunogenic conjugates can be used to generate an immune response to HIV-1 Env in a subject, for example, to treat or prevent an HIV-1 infection in the subject.
PROTEIN-BASED THERAPY AND DIAGNOSIS OF TAU-MEDIATED PATHOLOGY IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
The invention provides unique therapeutic and diagnostic antibodies, as well as their fragments, portions, derivatives, and variants thereof, that bind regions of the tau protein that contribute to the initiation and propagation of pathological tau-tau interactions, as well as methods of making them. The invention also relates to methods of using those antibodies for diagnostics, prevention, and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and related tauopathies. The present invention also provides a method for a prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative tauopathies. This method entails the injection of antibodies and/or pep tide vaccines that elicits an immune response directed to pathological tau proteins and tau deposits in the brains of patients. Suitable vaccines represent a tau peptide carrying one or more of the tau therapeutic epitopes provided herein.
NOVEL IMMUNOTHERAPY AGAINST SEVERAL TUMORS INCLUDING NEURONAL AND BRAIN TUMORS
The present invention relates to peptides, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated cytotoxic T cell (CTL) peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses. The present invention relates to 30 peptide sequences and their variants derived from HLA class I and class II molecules of human tumor cells that can be used in vaccine compositions for eliciting anti-tumor immune responses.
METHODS OF USING SPLICING MODULATORS
This disclosure relates to methods for the treatment of neoplastic disorders by administering Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptably salt thereof, on its own and/or as part of a conjugate or composition, and inducing production of at least one neoantigen.
METHOD FOR INJECTABLE DELIVERY OF A THERAPEUTIC AGENT INTO A FISH EMBRYO
Fish embryos may be successfully vaccinated or therapeutically treated if the therapeutic agent is injected into the yolk sac. Therapeutic agents may be directly injected or released from microspheres and enter the circulation and tissues. Injection into the yolk sac, combined with the use of carriers, allows for a continued, controlled release of therapeutic agents and processing of antigens. Fish vaccination or therapeutic treatment, selecting fish embryos post fertilization at the one-cell to eyed egg stage of development, and injecting the yolk sac with carriers associated with an antigen(s) or therapeutic agent(s), may be fully automated.
Articles and methods directed to personalized therapy of cancer
Described are methods for providing personalized medicine for the treatment of B cell malignancies including lymphoma. The methods make use of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) technology.
Compositions comprising cyclic peptides derived from an A-beta peptide
The disclosure pertains to methods of treating or preventing a disease or condition associated with and/or induced by soluble A-beta oligomer such as Alzheimer's disease by administering to a subject in need thereof conformation specific and/or selective antibodies or binding fragments thereof and related products.
Carbohydrate structures and uses thereof
The present invention provides methods and compositions related to multivalent carbohydrate antigen structures comprising cancer or infection associated ganglioside carbohydrate antigens. Said carbohydrate structures may be used to induce immunity against said carbohydrate antigens. In some embodiments, carbohydrate structures may be administered to a subject thereby inducing immunity in the subject, for example, the administration of a vaccine comprising said carbohydrate structure. Also provided are methods to induce an immune response in a subject in need thereof by administering said carbohydrate structure. Further provided are methods of producing an antibody or TCR that bind said carbohydrate antigens.
TLR7/8 AGONISTS TO ENHANCE IMMUNE RESPONSES IN OPIOID USING INDIVIDUALS
Provided herein are TLR7/8 agonists to enhance immune responses or for use as adjuvants in fentanyl vaccines in opioid-using individuals.
