Publication number: 20220281907Abstract: The present invention relates to neisserial LPS having a hexa-acylated lipid A moiety, wherein the hexa-acylated lipid A moiety is modified as compared to the lipid A moiety of a wild-type neisserial LPS in that it comprises a palmitoleoyl instead of a lauroyl secondary acyl chain on the glucosamine at the non-reducing end of the lipid A moiety. The invention further relates to mixtures of the hexa-acylated LPS with the corresponding penta-acylated LPS, lacking a secondary acyl chain on the glucosamine at the non-reducing end of the lipid A moiety. The invention also relates to neisserial bacteria that have been genetically modified to reduce expression of the endogenous 1pxL1 gene and to introduce expression of a heterologous thermosensitive 1pxP gene for producing the hexa- and penta-acylated LPS.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Applicant: Intravacc B.V.Inventors: Afshin Zariri, Elder Pupo Escalona, Peter André van der Ley

Patent number: 11389520Abstract: The present invention relates to neisserial LPS having a tetra-acylated lipid A moiety, wherein the tetra-acylated lipid A moiety is modified as compared to the lipid A moiety of a wild-type neisserial LPS in that it lacks one of the secondary acyl chains and lacks a primary acyl chain on the 3-position of the glucosamine at the reducing end of the lipid A moiety. The invention further relates to neisserial bacteria that have been genetically modified to reduce expression of either one of the endogenous lpxL1 or lpxL2 genes and to introduce expression of a heterologous pagL gene. The neisserial LPS of the invention has TLR4 agonist properties and is therefore useful in compositions for inducing or stimulating immune responses, such as vaccines, as well as in other forms of immunotherapy.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2017Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Intravacc B.V.Inventors: Afshin Zariri, Elder Pupo Escalona, Peter André van der Ley

Patent number: 11291713Abstract: The current invention lies in the field of medicine and more specifically in the field of vaccinology. The current invention concerns a novel Bordetella LPS and a modified bacterium of the genus Bordetella comprising such modified LPS. The LPS of the invention has a reduced endotoxicity in comparison to an unmodified Bordetella LPS. The modified LPS of the invention is therefore particularly suitable for use in inducing or stimulating an immune response in a subject, wherein the immune response is induced or stimulated against a Bordetella infection. The modified Bordetella LPS of the invention is obtainable by introducing in a Bordetella cell the expression of a heterologous acyl transferase. In particular, the modified Bordetella cell of the invention has an increased expression of an heterologous LpxA, LpxL or LpxD acyl transferase.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2018Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Intravacc B.V.Inventors: Peter André van der Ley, Jesús Andrés Arenas Busto, Elder Pupo Escalona, Johannes Petrus Maria Tommassen

Patent number: 10206368Abstract: A milking system includes a milking apparatus for milking of dairy animals, and a plurality of wearing parts, inclusive of teat liners and/or milk lines and/or pulsation lines. The system further includes a computer system configured to control and/or monitor the milking apparatus, and to generate a signal which indicates that one of the wearing parts should be replaced and provides a characterization of that wearing part. The milking system further includes a 3D printer operatively connected to the computer system and configured to print the characterized part on the basis of the generated signal. Thus it is not necessary to keep an unnecessarily large stock of spare parts, but it becomes possible to directly provide the spare parts quickly, cheaply and with less chance of errors. Moreover, it is thus possible to tailor the parts, especially teat liners, to animals.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2016Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: LELY PATENT N.V.Inventor: Antoon Peter Andre Theelen

Patent number: 10205067Abstract: A ceramic green wavelength conversion element (120) is coated with a red wavelength conversion material (330) and placed above a blue light emitting element (110) such that the ceramic element (120) is attached to the light emitting element (110), thereby providing an efficient thermal coupling from the red and green converters (330, 120) to the light emitting element (110) and its associated heat sink. To protect the red converter coating (330) from the effects of subsequent processes, a sacrificial clear coating (340) is created above the red converter element (330). This clear coating (340) may be provided as a discrete layer of clear material, or it may be produced by allowing the red converters to settle to the bottom of its suspension material, thereby forming a converter-free upper layer that can be subjected to the subsequent fabrication processes.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2016Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Lumileds LLCInventors: April Dawn Schricker, Kim Kevin Mai, Grigoriy Basin, Uwe Mackens, Joost Peter Andre Vogels, Aldegonda Lucia Weijers, Karl Adriaan Zijtveld
