  • Publication number: 20240148851
    Abstract: Provided herein are non-naturally occurring, broadly reactive, pan-epitopic antigens derived from Dengue virus that are immunogenic and elicit a broadly reactive immune response, such as a broadly reactive neutralizing antibody response, against Dengue virus subtypes following introduction into a subject. Also provided are non-naturally, broadly reactive occurring immunogens, immunogenic compositions, vaccines, subviral particles (SVPs), and virus-like particles (VLPs) comprising Dengue virus proteins or encoding polynucleotides. Methods of generating an immune response in a subject by administering the immunogens, vaccines, SVPs, VLPs, or immunogenic compositions thereof are provided. In particular, the immunogens comprise a Dengue virus protein, or an antibody binding portion thereof.

  • Patent number: 10925957
    Abstract: Co-administration (for example, immunogenic cocktail compositions and/or prime boost regimens) of computationally optimized H1N1 influenza hemagglutinin (HA) polypeptides is provided. Coadministration of the optimized H1N1 influenza hemagglutinin (HA) polypeptides facilitates synergistic neutralization of viral infection and provides for improved protective immunity (for example, a broad reactive immune response) to diverse and multiple H1N1 influenza virus strains, including both seasonal and pandemic strains.

  • Patent number: 9373245
    Abstract: Smart notification appliances used in a mass notification system (MNS) have integrated software and distributed hardware for real time information to in-building, immediate vicinity and distributed recipients during emergency situations. Programmable control configurations in the smart notification appliances provide flexible installations. A distributed architecture system provides distributed intelligence in the smart notification appliances for maximum survivability and robust operation of the MNS. Audio messages are stored in each smart notification appliance with a one-to-one relationship to a speaker circuit. This configuration provides any circuit with either a live page or a plurality of preconfigured messages, in effect a multi-channel system limited only by the number of stored messages and controllable by software. Similarly, programmable light strobe intensity, flash rate and color may be controlled through the smart notification appliances.
