| 20100034840 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR ELICITING AN IMMUNE RESPONSE TO ESCAPE MUTANTS OF TARGETED THERAPIES - Provided herein are cells, vectors and viruses in association with a mutant polypeptide that has emerged in response to a therapeutic or prophylactic agent; compositions comprising such cells, vectors and viruses and methods for their use in eliciting an immune response to the mutant polypeptide. In some examples, the immune response is a cellular immune response. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100111912 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TARGETED ABLATION OF MUTATIONAL ESCAPE OF TARGETED THERAPIES FOR CANCER - Provided herein are compositions and methods for targeted ablation of mutational escape in the face of cancer therapeutic agents. Compositions comprising the yeast-based vehicles are used in combination with other cancer therapeutic agents. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100150963 | Yeast-Based Therapeutic for Chronic Hepatitis C Infection - Disclosed are compositions, including vaccines, and methods for vaccinating an animal against hepatitis C virus (HCV) and for treating or preventing hepatitis C viral infection in an animal. The invention includes a variety of novel HCV fusion proteins that can be used directly as a vaccine or in conjunction with a yeast-based vaccine vehicle to elicit an immune response against HCV in an animal. The invention also includes the use of the HCV fusion gene and protein described herein in any diagnostic or therapeutic protocol for the detection and/or treatment or prevention of HCV infection. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100189749 | METHODS FOR PRODUCING YEAST-BASED VACCINES - The invention provides methods for culturing yeast at a neutral pH level. Yeast cultured under neutral pH conditions exhibit desirable characteristics useful for biological purposes, such as the development of vaccines, prophylactics and therapeutics. The invention also provides for compositions and kits comprising yeast grown using the methodologies disclosed herein. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100196411 | Yeast-Based Vaccine for Inducing an Immune Response - The invention provided herein relates to vaccines that can be tailored to achieve a desired immune response. Some compositions provided herein are used for preferentially eliciting a humoral immune response while other compositions are useful for preferentially eliciting a cell-mediated response. Combinations of vaccine compositions are also useful for eliciting both types of responses and/or for modulating the type of immune response elicited. The invention also provides methods for eliciting an immune response in an individual by administering the compositions disclosed herein. These immune responses are useful for protecting an individual from various types of diseases, infections, and undesirable conditions. | 08-05-2010 |
