ANTI-ABETA THERAPEUTIC VACCINES

A liposomal vaccine composition comprises a β-amyloid (Aβ)-derived peptide antigen displayed on the surface of the liposome. The vaccine composition also comprises a peptide comprising a universal T-cell epitope encapsulated within the liposome. The vaccine composition also comprises an adjuvant, which may form part of the liposome and may be displayed at least in part on the surface of the liposome. These vaccine compositions are used for treating, preventing, inducing a protective immune response against or alleviating the symptoms associated with an amyloid-beta associated disease or condition or a condition characterised by, or associated with, loss of cognitive memory capacity in a subject. The vaccine compositions may be provided as a kit. Related methods of producing a liposomal vaccine composition are also provided.

The present invention relates to particles comprising protamine, RNA and at least one endosome destabilizing agent, to methods of their production and to pharmaceutical compositions or kits containing the particles. It further relates to particles comprising protamine and RNA for use in methods of treatment or prevention of diseases and to kits comprising such particles together with at least one endosome destabilizing agent.

Treating Animal Cancers Through Programmed Cancer Cell Death
20200056203 · 2020-02-20 ·

The present invention provides systems and methods wherethrough a cancer cell's metabolic activities attract a vector to the cell to provide the cell with tools and instructions for self-destruction. A vector is engineered for attraction to and reaction with cells of higher temperature, a characteristic result of hypermetabolism inherent in the uncontrolled or extreme growth of cancerous and precancerous cells. A second engineered feature relates to the increased acidity resulting from a cancer cell's reduced reliance of mitochondrial ATP production. The engineered vector then stimulates the body's natural intracellular and extracellular innate immune responses to effect death and destruction of the targeted hypermetabolizing cells.
