Cholix-derived carriers for oral delivery of heterologous payload

The present disclosure provides delivery constructs comprising a carrier coupled to a heterologous payload, wherein coupling of the carrier to the payload can result in transportation of the payload (e.g., a therapeutic payload) into and/or across intact polarized epithelial cells (e.g., epithelial cells of the gut of a mammal). The delivery construct can be part of a pharmaceutical composition that can be orally administered to a subject to provide for improved, effective therapies for treatment of, e.g., inflammatory diseases or autoimmune diseases.

RECOMBINANT PROTEIN FOR REMOVING BOAR TAINT AND VACCINE COMPOSITION COMPRISING THE SAME
20230173044 · 2023-06-08 ·

The present invention relates to a vaccine composition for removing boar taint, the vaccine composition including a recombinant protein in which a cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) and n gonadotropin-releasing hormones (GnRH) are fused, and more specifically, provides a recombinant protein for removing boar taint to induce antibodies against GnRH, a recombinant vector for producing the same, a vaccine composition for removing boar taint, the vaccine composition including the recombinant protein, and a method for removing boar taint using the same. The vaccine composition according to the present invention induces antibodies against GnRH in an individual and has the effect of atrophying the testes through the induction of antibodies. Therefore, the present invention can be usefully used to remove boar taint by immunologically castrating a boar at low cost and with high safety and minimal side effects.

STRUCTURALLY MODIFIED CHIMERIC POLYPEPTIDE OF HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS, RECOMBINANT PROTEIN COMPRISING SAME POLYPEPTIDE, AND USE OF SAME PROTEIN

The present invention relates to a chimeric recombinant protein having a therapeutic effect on cervical cancer by fusing genetic modified E6 and E7, which are carcinogenesis-inducing proteins of human papillomavirus high-risk group type 16, with a fusion protein for increasing immunogenicity, the HPV type 16 E6, E7 chimeric recombinant protein fused with the flagellin fusion protein of the present invention showed the lowest tumor cell volume, and the immune response of specific T cells according to the recombinant antigen was significantly confirmed, and when the prophylactic effect was measured, it was confirmed that the volume of tumor cells was low and the antibody titer was increased, therefore human papillomavirus recombinant antigen of the present invention shows tumor treatment and prophylaxis and can be applied as a therapeutic/prophylactic vaccine composition.
