Disclosed herein are compositions that include antigen-encoding nucleic acid sequences and/or antigen peptides. Also disclosed are nucleotides, cells, and methods associated with the compositions including their use as vaccines, including vectors and methods for a heterologous prime/boost vaccination strategy.

The present invention concerns a method of treating peanut allergy in a subject, or a population of subjects, the method comprising administering to said subject or population of subjects a peanut allergen by an oral immunotherapy (OIT) regimen comprising a dose escalation phase in which the peanut allergen is administered in a dose which is increased in increments from an initial dose of the allergen equivalent of 5 mg peanut protein or less to a dose of the allergen equivalent of 200 mg peanut protein or more within 4 to 9 weeks from the administration of the initial dose. The treatment reduces the length of the build-up phase in peanut OIT methods and improves the likelihood or odds of the subject achieving sustained unresponsiveness.

The present invention is directed to a nucleic acid suitable for use in treatment or prophylaxis of an infection with a coronavirus, preferably with a Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, or a disorder related to such an infection, preferably COVID-19. The present invention is also directed to compositions, polypeptides, and vaccines. The compositions and vaccines preferably comprise at least one of said nucleic acid sequences, preferably nucleic acid sequences in association a lipid nanoparticle (LNP). The invention is also directed to first and second medical uses of the nucleic acid, the composition, the polypeptide, the combination, the vaccine, and the kit, and to methods of treating or preventing a coronavirus infection, preferably a Coronavirus infection.

The present invention refers to new glycoconjugate antigens expressing built-in multiple epitopes and to polyvalent glycoconjugate vaccines intended for the protection of mammalians, and particularly for the protection of the human population from enteropathogenic bacteria, such as the Gram-positive anaerobic bacterium Clostridium difficile and the Gram-negative bacteria Salmonella typhi, Escherichia Coli, Vibrio Cholerae, Shigella flexneri, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella paratyphi A, Shigella sonnei, Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella cholerasuis, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and/or from viral gastrointestinal infections due to human noroviruses.

The invention relates to a liquid pharmaceutical formulation comprising an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, cyclodextrin and methionine. In addition, it relates to a method for reducing precipitation of an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof in a liquid pharmaceutical formulation through addition of methionine and cyclodextrin. In particular, the liquid pharmaceutical formulations comprises an anti-sclerostin antibody, hydroxypropyl-gamma cyclodextrin and methionine and may be used in the treatment of a bone disorder associated with at least one of low bone formation, low bone mineral density, low bone mineral content, low bone mass, low bone quality and low bone strength, and especially for treating osteoporosis. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of reducing inflammation at injection site in a mammalian subject comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a liquid pharmaceutical formulation comprising an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, cyclodextrin and methionine.

A vaccine comprising a protein immunogen capable of stimulating a protective immune response against snake venom as well as spider and bee venoms. The DNA encoding the protein is disclosed. The protein can be expressed in both recombinant host cells. The protein is useful as a thermostable, parenteral administration anti venom vaccine protective against envenomation by diverse snake species, spiders and bees.

The disclosure relates to broad spectrum influenza virus ribonucleic acid (RNA) vaccines, as well as methods of using the vaccines and compositions comprising the vaccine. In a preferred embodiment, the vaccine is formulated as a lipid nanoparticle comprising at least one cationic lipid.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a human monoclonal antibody that has a high inhibitory activity on phosphorylation of Ser46 of human MARCKS and binds specifically to human HMGB1, and a pharmaceutical composition or the like for treating or preventing Alzheimer's disease, containing the antibody as an active component. A human monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to human HMGB1 and contains a heavy-chain CDR1, a heavy-chain CDR2, and a heavy-chain CDR3 consisting of specific amino acid sequences and a light-chain CDR1, a light-chain CDR2, and a light-chain CDR3 consisting of specific amino acid sequences is used. The human monoclonal antibody can also be used as a pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing Alzheimer's disease.

Provided are methods for clinical treatment of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) using an anti-C5 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof.

Provided are methods for clinical treatment of pregnancy-associated atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (p-aHUS), including postpartum aHUS, using an anti-C5 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, such as ravulizumab (ULTOMIRIS®).
