The present disclosure relates, in some aspects, to bile acid sensors.

A recombinant protein expressing one or more human growth factors, tumor antigens, and/or receptors or epitopes thereof on or within an immunogenic expression creating a recombinant protein in which one or more epitopes are presented on the surface of the sequence in their natural configuration. The growth factor, tumor antigen, and/or receptor, sequence(s) may be expressed within the encoding sequence at appropriate internal positions or at the termini as single expressions or as two or more tandem repeats.

A recombinant protein expressing one or more human growth factors, tumor antigens, and/or receptors or epitopes thereof on or within an immunogenic expression creating a recombinant protein in which one or more epitopes are presented on the surface of the sequence in their natural configuration. The growth factor, tumor antigen, and/or receptor, sequence(s) may be expressed within the encoding sequence at appropriate internal positions or at the termini as single expressions or as two or more tandem repeats.

Immunogenic compositions that include a bacterial capsular polysaccharide conjugated to a carrier protein are described. In some embodiments, the bacterial capsular polysaccharide is a Neisseria meningitidis capsular polysaccharide. The carrier protein includes an N. meningitidis factor H binding protein (fHbp) linked to cholera toxin subunit B (CTB). Administration of the immunogenic compositions elicits an immune response that includes production of meningococcal polysaccharide-specific and fHbP-specific antibodies. Use of the immunogenic compositions as meningococcal vaccines is also described.

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).

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.
