Patent number: 9618508Abstract: The invention utilizes the techniques and instruments which are typically used in flow cytometry (FC) as a tool for analyzing adsorbed materials. Thus the invention provides a method for analyzing a component which is adsorbed to an insoluble metal salt, comprising steps of: (i) labelling the adsorbed component with a binding reagent; and (ii) analyzing the labelled adsorbed component by flow cytometry.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2011Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals SAInventors: David Skibinski, Donatello Laera, Sandra Nuti, Mildred Ugozzoli

Publication number: 20160228529Abstract: A dual formulation for vaccines against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B (‘Men-B’) comprises (i) an oil-in-water emulsion adjuvant and (ii) a Men-B immunogenic component in lyophilised form. The lyophilised Men-B antigens can be reconstituted into liquid adjuvanted form at the time of use ready for administration to a patient. This formulation has been found to give excellent result in terms of both stability and immunogenicity. The lyophilised component can also include one or more conjugated saccharides from N. meningitidis in serogroups A, C, W135 and/or Y.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2016Publication date: August 11, 2016Applicant: GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals SAInventors: Mario CONTORNI, Jina KAZZAZ, Derek O'HAGAN, Manmohan SINGH, Mildred UGOZZOLI

Patent number: 8771747Abstract: Microparticles with adsorbent surfaces, methods of making such microparticles, and uses thereof, are disclosed. The microparticles comprise a polymer, such as a poly(?-hydroxy acid), a polyhydroxy butyric acid, a polycaprolactone, a polyorthoester, a polyanhydride, and the like, and are formed using cationic, anionic, or nonionic detergents. The surface of the microparticles efficiently adsorb biologically active macromolecules, such as DNA, polypeptides, antigens, and adjuvants. Also provided are compositions of an oil droplet emulsion having a metabolizable oil and an emulsifying agent. Immunogenic compositions having an immunostimulating amount of an antigenic substance, and an immunostimulating amount of an adjuvant composition are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, Inc.Inventors: Derek O'Hagan, Gary S. Ott, John Donnelly, Jina Kazzaz, Mildred Ugozzoli, Manmohan Singh, John Barackman
