| 20100166794 | PLASMODIUM LIVER STAGE ANTIGENS - The invention provides isolated liver stage | 07-01-2010 |
| 20090017055 | PLASMODIUM LIVER STAGE ANTIGENS - The invention provides isolated liver stage Plasmodium polypeptides comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-48 and immunogenic derivatives thereof. The invention also provides isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding the liver stage Plasmodium polypeptides of the invention, compositions comprising one or more liver stage Plasmodium polypeptides of the invention, methods for inducing an immune response against the liver stage Plasmodium polypeptides, and methods for treating and diagnosing liver stage malaria. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20080267993 | AIDS vaccines - The invention provides vaccination protocols for administering immunogens to a primate host in order to promote the formation of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) against primate immunodeficiency viruses. In some embodiments, the vaccination protocols comprise the step of administering to a primate host a first immunogen comprising at least one primate immunodeficiency virus Envelope (env) sequence having a first set of consensus glycosylation sequences, followed by a second immunogen comprising at least one primate immunodeficiency virus env sequence having a second set of consensus glycosylation sequences, wherein the differences between the first set of consensus glycosylation sequences and the second set of consensus glycosylation sequences comprise differences in consensus glycosylation sequences observed in HIV isolates obtained at different time points of a natural infection. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080248063 | Hetero-Oligomeric Hiv Envelope Proteins - In one aspect, the invention provides an HIV envelope heterotrimer comprising at least two different Env glycoprotein monomers. In some heterotrimers, at least two Env glycoprotein monomers are from different HIV isolates, for example, different HIV-1 isolates. Heterotrimers may contain Env glycoprotein monomers from HIV isolates belonging to the same clade or to different clades or both. At least one of the Env glycoprotein monomers in a heterotrimer of the invention may be modified in a way that alters its amino acid composition. In another aspect, the invention provides methods for inducing an immune response in a vertebrate host against HIV or an HIV-infected cell, comprising administering to a vertebrate host a prophylactically or therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising an HIV envelope heterotrimer. | 10-09-2008 |
