20120283421 | METHODS AND REAGENTS FOR DECREASING CLINICAL REACTION TO ALLERGY - It has been determined that allergens, which are characterized by both humoral (IgE) and cellular (T-cell) binding sites, can be modified to be less allergenic by modifying the IgE binding sites. The IgE binding sites can be converted to non-IgE binding sites by altering as little as a single amino acid within the protein, preferably a hydrophobic residue towards the center of the IgE epitope, to eliminate IgE binding. Additionally or alternatively a modified allergen with reduced IgE binding may be prepared by disrupting one or more of the disulfide bonds that are present in the natural allergen. The disulfide bonds may be disrupted chemically, e.g., by reduction and alkylation or by mutating one or more cysteine residues present in the primary amino acid sequence of the natural allergen. In certain embodiments, modified allergens are prepared by both altering one or more linear IgE epitopes and disrupting one or more disulfide bonds of the natural allergen. In certain embodiments, the methods of the present invention allow allergens to be modified while retaining the ability of the protein to activate T-cells, and, in some embodiments by not significantly altering or decreasing IgG binding capacity. The Examples provided herein use peanut allergens to illustrate applications of the invention. | 11-08-2012 |

20110257377 | Covalently linked complexes of HIV TAT and ENV PROTEINS - Complexes of HIV Env and Tat proteins are advantageous as immunogens compared to Tat or Env alone, but they may dissociate when combined with a vaccine adjuvant. To avoid dissociation, complexes of Env and Tat are stabilized by the use of covalent cross linking. The extent of cross linking is important to the binding properties of the complexes, and so is controlled to avoid the loss of Env's ability to bind specifically to CD4 and Tat's ability to bind specifically to anti-Tat monoclonal antibodies. | 10-20-2011 |
