Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical vaccine compositions comprising at least one vaccine antigen together with living immune cells. These immune cells include at least a portion of activated T-cells and act as an adjuvant. Methods for using these pharmaceutical compositions to prevent or treat diseases, such as cancer, infectious diseases and autoimmune disease are also included.
Abstract: The present invention includes vaccine compositions and methods for using these vaccine compositions in active immunotherapy. The vaccine compositions include allogeneic activated Th1 memory cells. The compositions can also include one or more disease-related antigens. The methods include administering the vaccine compositions to provide a Th1 footprint in normal individuals or patients susceptible to disease or having minimal residual disease.
Abstract: The present invention relates to, in part, methods for the treatment of methanogen-associated disorders such as, for example, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) using at least one anti-methanogenic lovastatin analog or derivative. In addition, modified-release formulations comprising at least one anti-methanogenic lovastatin analog or derivative are provided which release the anti-methanogenic lovastatin analog or derivative in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for separating a cellular component from a multicomponent fluid. The device can include a body, a first acoustic wave generator, and a second acoustic wave propagating component. The body can define a channel having a first surface, an opposing second surface, a first side, and an opposing second side. The channel can extend along a longitudinal axis from a first end to an opposing second end. The first acoustic wave generator can be coupled to the first surface. The second acoustic wave propagating component can be coupled to the second surface. The first acoustic wave generator and second acoustic wave propagating component can be configured to generate a bulk standing acoustic wave in the channel.

Abstract: Methods of treating a patient with human immunodeficiency virus are disclosed. The method includes a providing intradermal and intravenous doses of a aTh1 composition that can increase the CD4+ cells in a patient that are resistant to HIV. The description includes a method for viral load reduction and a viral purge method. The regimen leads to a spike in the viral load and a then a return to baseline or lower levels of the virus and can lead to reduction and/or elimination of the latent viral reservoirs. Kits configured to provide intradermal doses and intravenous doses according to the regimen are also included.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to nanoemulsion compositions with certain surfactant blend ratios that impart enhanced permeability. Such compositions are useful for mucosal and intranasal applications and allow for the greater delivery of one or more active agents to the application site to prevent infection by coronavirus.
Abstract: Provided are a fusion protein and a construction method thereof. The fusion method consists of: a Haemophilus influenzae protein D and a Hin47 (Htra) protein. The fusion protein can serve as a protein vehicle for a Haemophilus influenzae polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccine, thereby increasing immunogenicity of a polysaccharide antigen.
Abstract: Provided herein, inter alia, are compositions and methods for culturing mammalian cells. In certain aspects, the composition is a medium containing one or more of a lithium ion source, one or more fatty acids, and/or ethanol. Use of any of the cell culture media described herein to culture cells that have been genetically engineered to produce one or more recombinant polypeptides (for example, antibodies) can result in increased titers, a more favorable glycosylation profile, and/or modulated (e.g. decreased) amounts of high and low molecular weight species, and/or modulated (e.g. decreased) amounts of acidic or basic charge variants, compared to cells cultured in a medium that does not contain one or more of a lithium ion source, one or more fatty acids, and/or ethanol.
