A conjugate for treating an individual suffering from a disease, wherein the conjugate is comprised of: a targeting peptide comprising a sequence substantially identical to CAR, or a variant thereof; and at least one therapeutic molecule and methods for making and administering same. Also disclosed is a combination product for use in the treatment of a disease, wherein the combination product comprises: (a) a targeting peptide comprising a sequence substantially identical to CAR, or a variant thereof; (b) a liposome, wherein the targeting peptide is encapsulated within the liposome; and (c) an effective amount of an anti-inflammatory agent and methods for making and administering same.

The present disclosure provides T-cell modulatory multi-merit polypeptides that comprise an immunomodulatory polypeptide and that comprise an epitope-presenting Wilms tumor peptide. A T-cell modulatory multimeric polypeptide is useful for modulating the activity of a T cell, and for modulating an immune response in an individual.

The present disclosure relates generally to methods of preparing glycoconjugates containing a saccharide conjugated to a carrier protein by use of stable nitroxyl radical related agent/oxidant as an oxidizing agent, to immunogenic compositions comprising such glycoconjugates, and to methods for the use of such glycoconjugates and immunogenic compositions.

The present invention provides pneumococcal conjugate vaccine formulations comprising surfactant systems incorporating polysorbate 20 or a combination of a poloxamer and a polyol.

This invention provides a composition of matter comprising a plurality of cocaine-succinyl-BSA, wherein the average ratio of cocaine-succinyl moieties to BSA is at least 7.0. This invention also provides a composition of matter comprising a plurality of nicotine-5-succinyl-BSA, wherein the average ratio of nicotine-5-succinyl moieties to BSA is at least 7.0. This invention further provides a composition of matter comprising a plurality of methamphetamine-5-succinyl-BSA, wherein the average ratio of methamphetamine-5-succinyl moieties to BSA is at least 7.0. This invention still further provides related pharmaceutical compositions, therapeutic methods, prophylactic methods, synthetic methods, and articles of manufacture.

The invention is directed to portions of proteins of gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative, acid-fast bacteria (Mycobacteria, Staphylococcus) and/or virus (SARS-COV-2, Influenza), and antibodies reactive against these portions that can be formulated as immunogenic compositions and vaccines for the treatment and prevention of a microbial and/or viral infections. Preferably, compositions of the invention contain one or more portions of selected microbial and/or viral proteins that, upon administration to a subject, generate an effective cellular and/or humoral immune response, modulate immunity and a cytokine response. Effective responses involve an increased generation of antibodies that enhance immunity against an infection and promote an enhanced a phagocytic response. Monoclonal antibodies produced against these peptides enhance phagocytosis and killing of bacteria, viruses, and other microbes by phagocytic cells, and enhance clearance from the blood.
