  • Publication number: 20140287022
    Abstract: The present invention relates to liposomal vaccine compositions, methods for the manufacture thereof, and methods for the use thereof to stimulate an immune response in an animal. These compositions comprise liposomes formed from dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (“DMPC”); either dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (“DMPG”) or dimyristoyltrimethylammonium propane (“DMTAP”) or both DMPC and DMTAP; and at least one sterol; and an antigenic polypeptide comprising a first polypeptide sequence, and a second polypeptide sequence heterologous the first polypeptide sequence which comprises a transmembrane sequence from a membrane protein, said transmembrane sequence having a number of residues sufficient to cross a lipid bilayer, at least nine contiguous residues of which are predicted to form an alpha helix having a hydrophobicity score of about 0.7 or greater.
