COMBINATION THERAPY TO TREAT BRAIN CANCER

Provided herein are methods of treating brain cancer in a subject, comprising evaluating one or more biological samples from a subject who has brain cancer for the presence of a miRNAs and administering interleukin-12 (IL-12); an immunogenic composition of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), Wilms Tumor-1 (WT-1), and prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA); and an anti-programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD-1) antibody to said subject if the subject has an increased expression level of the mIR-331-3p miRNA or isomiRs thereof and the miR-1537-3p miRNA or isomiRs thereof relative to a control population of subjects. Also provided herein are methods of treating brain cancer in a subject, comprising measuring an expression level of at least one mRNA biomarker selected from SYNGR3, OTX1, GABBR2, LHX1, CADM3, MLLT11, MNX1, GRB14, SLC34A2, PHYHIP, WNT10B, SLC17A6, CRLF1, HOXD13, TGFβR3, UBA7, SFRP4, or any combination thereof, in a tumor sample from a subject and administering IL-12; an immunogenic composition hTERT, WT-1, and PSMA; and an anti-PD-1 antibody to said subject if the expression level of SYNGR3, OTX1, GABBR2, LHX1, CADM3, MLLT11, MNX1, GRB14, SLC34A2, PHYHIP, WNT10B, SLC17A6, CRLF1 and HOXD13 is decreased or if the expression level of TGFβR3, UBA7, SFRP4 is increased.

METHOD OF TREATING CANCER

The present application discloses a method of treating cancer, including administering to a person suffering from cancer or in remission from cancer, an antigen presenting cell loaded with an immunogenic CD4 T cell activating antigen and a CD8 T cell activating neoantigen specific for the cancer.

<i>Neisseria meningitidis </i>composition and methods thereof

In one aspect, the invention relates to a non-lipidated and non-pyruvylated Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B polypeptide and methods of use thereof. In another aspect, the invention relates to an immunogenic composition including an isolated non-lipidated, non-pyruvylated ORF2086 polypeptide from Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B, and at least one conjugated capsular saccharide from a meningococcal serogroup, and methods of use thereof.

Norovirus vaccine

A dry powder norovirus vaccine is provided, which comprises at least two norovirus antigens representing different genogroups. The vaccine may be produced by formulation with a mixture of different antigens or combination of monovalent powders with each containing one antigen. The formulated vaccine is suitable for mucosal administration and soluble in aqueous solutions for parenteral administration. A method of immunization is also provided, which comprises at least one administration of the vaccine via mucosal and/or parental route. The immunization may have multiple administrations of the vaccine, i.e., one or more immunizations via a mucosal route followed by one or more immunizations via a parenteral route or vice versa, to maximize both mucosal and systemic immune responses and protection against norovirus infections.

Recombinant non-pathogenic Marek's disease virus constructs encoding infectious laryngotracheitis virus and infectious bursal disease virus antigens

The present invention discloses novel recombinant multivalent non-pathogenic Marek's Disease virus constructs that encode and express both Infectious Laryngotracheitis Virus protein antigens and an Infectious Bursal Disease virus protein antigen, and methods of their use in poultry vaccines.

Enhanced <i>Shigella</i>-enterotoxigenic <i>E. coli </i>multi-valent vaccine

The invention relates to a multivalent Shigella/Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli vaccine for use in prophylaxis and treatment of diarrheal disease. The Shigella-ETEC vaccine provides increased coverage of a broader range of ETEC and Shigella isolates than prior vaccines, and includes CS14 antigens and serotypes (S. flexneri 7a, or S. flexneri 1b).

Enteric fever vaccine based on outer membrane vesicles from two different strains of typhoidal <i>Salmonelle </i>species

A novel consortium used as potent vaccine for treating of enteric fever, comprised of isolated Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) taken from two different strains of typhoidal Salmonella species.

Compositions and methods for the induction of CD8+ T-cells

Provided herein are compositions and methods for the induction and/or proliferation of CD8+ T-cells. The disclosure also provides methods of treatment of diseases that can be treated by the induction and/or proliferation of CD8+ T-cells.

Immunogenic composition and vaccine for generating an immune response to norovirus

An immunogenic composition comprising at least one Norovirus antigen and at least one adjuvant which is at least one B subunit of an AB.sub.5 toxin such as cholera toxin subunit B (CTB) or the B subunit of heat-labile E. coli exotoxin LT (LTB).

Removal of agglomerates

The present disclosure provides a method of dispersing agglomerated material in a preparation comprising influenza proteins. The method comprises subjecting the preparation to sonication.
