Compositions and Methods of Manufacturing Trivalent Filovirus Vaccines
Disclosed is a stable immunogenic composition capable of eliciting a robust and durable immune response, comprising at least one antigen consisting of a filovirus glycoprotein and at least one nano-emulsion adjuvant which are co-lyophilized and can be reconstituted immediately prior to use. Also disclosed is a vaccine composition comprising at least two antigens, wherein each antigen is specific to a different genus of filovirus and which also comprises at least one nano-emulsion adjuvant.
Hidden Frame Neoantigens
The invention relates to the field of cancer. In particular, it relates to the field of immune system directed approaches for tumor treatment, reduction and control. Some aspects of the invention relate to the identification of tumor specific neoantigens, such as those resulting from frameshift mutations or DNA rearrangements. Such neoantigens are useful for developing tumor treatments, such as vaccines or cellular immunotherapies and other means of stimulating a neoantigen specific immune response against a tumor in individuals. A new class of neoantigens, referred to herein as ‘Hidden Frames’, as well as methods of identifying such neoantigens is provided.
SELF-ASSEMBLING, SELF-ADJUVANTING SYSTEM FOR DELIVERY OF VACCINES
This invention relates to an immunogenic agent comprising a hydrophobic peptide covalently coupled or conjugated to at least one antigenic molecule that facilitates self-assembly of a plurality of the immunogenic agents into an immunogenic complex that has adjuvant properties. The invention also relates to a method of eliciting an immune response in a subject, comprising the step of administering to the subject at least one immunogenic agent or at least one immunogenic complex to thereby elicit an immune response in the subject.
MULTIVALENT PNEUMOCOCCAL VACCINES
Technologies for the prevention and/or treatment of pneumococcal infections.
Vaccine and Methods for Detecting and Preventing Filariasis
The present invention is a multivalent immunogenic composition for immunizing an animal against filariasis. In some embodiments, the antigens of the multivalent immunogenic composition are protein-based, DNA-based, or a combination thereof. This invention also provides a method and kit for detecting a filarial nematode and determining vaccine efficacy.
Combination vaccine
The present invention pertains to a vaccine comprising (a) an immunologically effective amount of a Streptococcus suis IgM protease antigen, (b) an immunologically effective amount of an Escherichia coli fibmrial antigen, and (c) an immunologically effective amount of a Clostridium toxoid, and also pertains to use of the vaccine in a method for protecting pigs against a pathogenic infection with Streptococcus suis, Escherichia coli and Clostridium.
Hepatitis B vaccines and uses of the same
Provided herein are engineered hepatitis B virus (HBV) molecular vaccine constructs. Vaccine constructs can also include ligand-inducible engineered gene switch systems for modulating expression of heterologous genes, such as a cytokines, in host cells.
Immunogenic Compositions Against SARS-COV-2 Variants and Their Methods of Use
Disclosed herein are nucleic acid molecules encoding a Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike antigen, SARS-CoV-2 spike antigens, immunogenic compositions, and vaccines and their use in inducing immune responses and protecting against or treating a SARS-CoV-2 infection in a subject.
Methods Of Vaccine Administration
This invention relates to a method of treating a dog for canine diseases comprising administering to the dog therapeutically effective amounts of a vaccine, wherein the vaccine comprises viral antigens, a bacterin, or both, and wherein the vaccine is administered subcutaneously or orally according to the schedules provided herein.
VACCINE COMPRISING EPITOPE OF HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN, AND USE THEREOF
A vaccine containing an epitope of a heat shock protein 90 and uses thereof are disclosed. The epitope(s) of heat shock protein 90 has the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 and/or 2. A multi-epitope vaccine containing the epitope(s) and a method for treating or preventing cancer using the same are disclosed.
