A method and an system for vaccinating a mammalian subject. The method includes the steps of: arranging a source of electromagnetic radiation proximate to a target zone of skin of the mammalian subject; controlling the source of electromagnetic radiation to deliver a dose of electromagnetic radiation to the target zone determined to create one or more thermally-denatured zones in the target zone; and intradermally injecting a vaccine within the target zone to vaccinate the mammalian subject. The system for vaccinating a subject may include an electromagnetic radiation source configured to be arranged proximate to a target zone on an exterior of the subject; a user control configured to selectively cause the electromagnetic radiation source to deliver a dose of electromagnetic radiation toward the target zone to create one or more thermally-denatured zones in the target zone; and a vaccine-delivery system configured to deliver a vaccine to the target zone.

Antibody formulations are described comprising a mixture of a non-reducing sugar, an anti-α4β7 antibody and at least one amino acid. The disclosed formulations have improved stability, reduced aggregate formation, and may retard degradation of the anti-α4β7 antibody therein or exhibit any combinations thereof. The present invention further provides a safe dosing regimen of these antibody formulations that is easy to follow, and which results in a therapeutically effective amount of the anti-α4β7 antibody in vivo.

The present invention relates to a monoclonal antibody or fragment thereof that recognizes and binds specifically to beta 1 integrin as an antigen. The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating cancer including the monoclonal antibody or fragment thereof. The monoclonal antibody of the present invention is useful in preventing or treating cancer due to its ability to inhibit the proliferation and angiogenesis of cancer cells and effectively induce apoptosis

Disclosed are compositions comprising an expressible nucleic acid sequence comprising a first nucleic acid sequence comprising a leader sequence or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and a second nucleic acid sequence comprising a sequence that encodes a trimer of a retroviral envelope or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, the expressible nucleic acid sequence further comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding at least one viral antigen or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, the expressible nucleic acid sequence further comprises at least one nucleic acid sequence encoding a linker. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compositions and methods of using the disclosed compositions.

Provided are methods for treating Alzheimer's disease in a human subject in need thereof comprising administration of multiple doses of an anti-beta-amyloid antibody (e.g., aducanumab) to the subject.

The present invention belongs to the field of microbiology, and particularly relates to an application of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa vaccine in prevention and treatment of burn and scald complicated with bacterial infection. The burn and scald of the present invention include burns and scalds, and degree of the scalds includes I degree, superficial II degree, deep II degree, or III degree scalds. Site of the scalds includes skin, mucosa or other tissues. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa vaccine of the present invention can effectively prevent and treat burn and scald complicated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection caused by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa by activating the specific immune response of the body. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa vaccine of the present invention can reduce the bacterial load in the immunized subject through the established immunization procedures, thereby providing a technical solution that can effectively prevent burn and scald complicated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, which avoids the technical problems caused by the use of antibiotics such as poor effectiveness, difficulty in curing and proneness to drug resistance in the prior art to a certain degree.

An application of PEG-interferon and a protooncogene product targeting inhibitor in synergistic inhibition of tumors. Specifically, provided is use of an active ingredient combination. The active ingredient combination comprises PEG-interferon and a protooncogene product targeting inhibitor, and the combination is used for preparing a pharmaceutical composition for synergistic treatment of tumors. The active ingredient combination can synergistically inhibit the growth of tumors (especially lung, stomach, breast and liver cancers) effectively, and can significantly reduce toxic and side effects, and therefore can be widely used in targeted therapy of the tumors.

Fusion polypeptides including at least one Fc binding domain linked to at least one integrin binding domain are provided. In some embodiments, the at least one Fc binding domain is one or more Fc binding domains from Protein A, Protein G, or Protein Z and the at least one integrin binding domain comprises one or more fibronectin type III domains (for example repeats 12-14 of fibronectin type III domains and optionally the connecting segment of fibronectin). Protein complexes including the polypeptide and one or more antibodies are also provided. Methods of using the polypeptide and/or polypeptide:antibody complex are provided, including treating a subject with a tumor, inducing an immune response to a tumor, and/or targeting an antibody to a tumor cell.

A transdermal absorption-type patch (10) includes: a support material (1) and an adhesive layer (2) laminated on the support material (1). The adhesive layer (2) includes: a solid composite material (2a), the solid composite material (2a) being an active ingredient with a molecular weight of 800 or greater enclosed by a surfactant; an oil phase; and an adhesive agent, the adhesive agent containing an acrylic elastomer. The content of the acrylic elastomer is 30% to 70% by mass based on the total mass of the acrylic elastomer and the oil phase. The composite material (2a) forms a solid-in-oil type particle dispersed in the oil phase.

The present invention relates to methods of treating a B-cell proliferative disorder by administering an anti-CD20/anti-CD3 bispecific antibody, and methods for reduction of adverse effects in response to the administration of the anti-CD20/anti-CD3 bispecific antibody. The present invention further relates to combination treatment methods of treating a B-cell proliferative disorder.
