20140294879 | MODIFIED RSV F PROTEINS AND METHODS OF THEIR USE - The present invention is generally related to modified or mutated respiratory syncytial virus fusion (F) proteins and methods for making and using them, including immunogenic compositions such as vaccines for the treatment and/or prevention of RSV infection. | 10-02-2014 |
20140271697 | ENHANCED EXPRESSION OF PICORNAVIRUS PROTEINS - The disclosure provides fusion proteins containing N-terminal signal peptides fused to immunogenic polypeptides. The immunogenic polypeptides may be from viruses, bacteria, or fungi. The disclosure also provides elevated expression of the immunogenic polypeptides using the N-terminal signal peptide. The N-terminal signal peptides enhance synthesis of the protein, particularly where the protein is neither a secretory nor a transmembrane peptide. The fusion proteins may be used to diagnose disease and to induce immune responses. | 09-18-2014 |
20140193447 | FUNCTIONAL INFLUENZA VIRUS-LIKE PARTICLES (VLPS) - The present invention discloses and claims virus like particles (VLPs) that express and/or contains seasonal influenza virus proteins, avian influenza virus proteins and/or influenza virus proteins from viruses with pandemic potential. The invention includes vector constructs comprising said proteins, cells comprising said constructs, formulations and vaccines comprising VLPs of the inventions. The invention also includes methods of making and administrating VLPs to vertebrates, including methods of inducing substantial immunity to either seasonal and avian influenza, or at least one symptom thereof. | 07-10-2014 |
20140178419 | RABIES GLYCOPROTEIN VIRUS-LIKE PARTICLES (VLPS) - The present invention is generally related to virus-like particles (VLPs) comprising rabies virus (RV) glycoproteins (G proteins) and methods for making and using them, including immunogenic compositions such as vaccines for the treatment and/or prevention of rabies virus infection. | 06-26-2014 |
20130177587 | FUNCTIONAL INFLUENZA VIRUS-LIKE PARTICLES (VLPS) - Recombinant influenza virus proteins, including influenza capsomers, subviral particles, virus-like particles (VLP), VLP complexes, and/or any portions of thereof, are provided as a vaccine for influenza viruses. The invention is based on the combination of two vaccine technologies: (1) intrinsically safe recombinant vaccine technology, and (2) highly immunogenic, self-assembled protein macromolecules embedded in plasma membranes and comprised of multiple copies of influenza virus structural proteins exhibiting neutralizing epitopes in native conformations. More specifically, this invention relates to the design and production of functional homotypic and heterotypic recombinant influenza virus-like particles (VLPs) comprised of recombinant structural proteins of human influenza virus type A/Sydney/5/94 (H3N2) and/or avian influenza virus type A/Hong Kong/1073/99 (H9N2) in baculovirus-infected insect cells and their application as a vaccine in the prevention of influenza infections and as a laboratory reagent for virus structural studies and clinical diagnostics. | 07-11-2013 |
20130039938 | HIGHLY EFFICIENT INFLUENZA MATRIX (M1) PROTEINS - This invention discloses a method of increasing production of virus-like particles comprising expressing an avian influenza matrix protein. The invention also comprises methods of making and using said VLPs. | 02-14-2013 |
20120207786 | FUNCTIONAL INFLUENZA VIRUS-LIKE PARTICLES (VLPS) - The present invention discloses and claims virus like particles (VLPs) that express and/or contains seasonal influenza virus proteins, avian influenza virus proteins and/or influenza virus proteins from viruses with pandemic potential. The invention includes vector constructs comprising said proteins, cells comprising said constructs, formulations and vaccines comprising VLPs of the inventions. The invention also includes methods of making and administrating VLPs to vertebrates, including methods of inducing substantial immunity to either seasonal and avian influenza, or at least one symptom thereof. | 08-16-2012 |
20110245186 | RECOMBINANT E-SELECTIN MADE IN INSECT CELLS - The inventive features include recombinant mammalian E-selectin peptides, nucleic acids encoding said peptides, vectors and cells having these nucleic acids, and methods of making the peptides. Further inventive features include methods of treating diseases and conditions associated with inflammation using recombinant mammalian E-selectin peptides to induce mucosal tolerance to E-selectin. | 10-06-2011 |
20100226932 | Adjuvant and Vaccine Compositions - Abstract Compositions comprising an emulsion and aluminum salt nano-/micro-particles surface stabilized with at least one surfactant are useful as immunological adjuvants. The emulsion of these compositions comprises at least one oil; at least one surfactant; a plurality of surfactant vesicles; optionally at least one sterol; and an aqueous phase. The present invention also provides vaccines comprising one or more antigens combined with the emulsion and surface stabilized aluminum salt particles of the present invention, or one or more antigens combined with non-ionic surfactant vesicles. | 09-09-2010 |
