Abstract: The present invention describes a second-generation tetanus toxoid vaccine and a process for the preparation thereof, comprising the steps of: inducing an E. Coli culture OD 600=0.5 by adding 0.2 mM IPTG; growing the culture at 14-16° C. for 14 to 20 hours; suspending the culture in 25 mM phosphate buffer containing 200 mM sodium chloride; adding 1% of triton-X-100 to the phosphate buffer, and adding the buffer to the culture; sonicating the culture for a period of 3 minutes (at 5 sec on/off pulse) at 4° C. on cold beads; centrifuging the culture for 60 to 90 minutes; collecting and purifying a supernatant using Ni-NTA affinity column with an eluant; and combining the supernatant into a pool with contaminated bands and concentrating using Centriprep-30 centrifuge filters (30 kDa pores).

Abstract: Compositions comprising the L complex or the M complex of the botulinum neurotoxin E with its associated neurotoxin binding protein(s) (NBP), methods of making, and methods of use to treat pain and wrinkles by injecting locally. Methods of making and isolating the L and M complex comprise a multi-step process of: providing a bacterial cultured media comprising the complex of botulinum neurotoxin E and neurotoxin binding proteins; centrifuging and pelletizing the cultured media; stirring the pelletized culture at 0 to 10° C. over a period of 4 to 24 hours; centrifuging the stirred solution to obtain a supernatant; precipitating the supernatant and filtering to obtain the precipitate; and dissolving the precipitate, centrifuging and filtering to obtain a solution comprising M complex and/or L complex of botulinum neurotoxin E and its NBP; and passing the solution through a functionalized sephadex ion exchange column to isolate the complex.

Abstract: The present invention describes a neurotoxin associated protein from botulinum neurotoxin complex used as an oral or nasal delivery system for a vaccine. The vaccine is selected from tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis alone or in combination. Further the oral or nasal delivery of tetanus vaccine in combination with other drug molecules.

Abstract: A recombinant SARS-CoV2 protein-based vaccine, and method of immunizing, is developed by either embedding the epitopes/domains, or chemically attaching, to an already established vaccine candidate, such as a detoxified recombinant tetanus neurotoxin (DrTeNT), to develop a novel vaccine to immunize against SARS-CoV2. The developed vaccine will have three novel contributions compared to the present vaccine technology; a) providing a novel and very effective vaccine platform; b) priming with DrTeNT will prepare the host immune system for better response; and c) oral delivery of the vaccine candidate with a group of neurotoxin binding proteins (NAPs) from Clostridium sp. A Detoxified recombinant tetanus neurotoxin (DrTeNT) is prepared by mutation of the active site amino acid residues is an effective vaccine candidate, and is to be used for embedding epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 virus protein for vaccination against Covid-19. DrTeNT is a risk-free vaccine, free of formalin or any other chemical adjuvants.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting and assaying Clostridium neurotoxins and identification of serotypes of botulinum neurotoxins in various food matrices and clinical samples. This method is also used for detection of BoNT inside the neuronal and epithelial cells. The method comprises detecting and assaying the presence of a Clostridium neurotoxin in a sample by: exposing the sample containing a Clostridium neurotoxin to a sample comprising a novel SNAMPXIN/SNAMP universal recombinant substrate fusion protein capable of producing a detectable FRET, following cleavage; detecting and assaying the presence of the Clostridium neurotoxin by measuring a change in the energy transfer or the luminescence signal; and detecting and assaying an electrophoretic mobility pattern of one or more cleaved protein bands or a degraded protein, using a high throughput automated system to identify the different serotypes of the Clostridium neurotoxin.

Presently claimed invention also provides a method of treating neural crest derived tumors such as malignant neurofibroma and melanoma.

Abstract: Present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising P80 with drugs, dyes, small molecules, biomolecules, proteins or combination thereof. P80 enhances the transportation of molecules associated with it. The P80 is a tight junction modulators to enhance the permeability of the intestinal epithelium so as to facilitate drug delivery. The invention further provides a process for the preparation, isolation and purification of p80 protein.

Abstract: The main aspect of present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition to increase the stability of liquid formulation of botulinum toxin and related proteins. The present invention provides a method to stabilize toxin in liquid formulation. Lipid based drug delivery system is known to increase the bioavailability of drugs (Amidon et al., 1995; Jannin et al., 2008). We investigated the stability of BoNT/A toxin and complex. We used two formulations in liquid phase: combination of lipids and liposomes, with two different storage conditions: 4° C. and 25° C. The present invention also provides a method for efficient delivery of botulinum toxin through skin as a topical application.

Abstract: Present invention provides a stable pharmaceutical composition comprising botulinum neurotoxin, anesthetic in a buffer. Present invention also provides a process for the preparation of the stable pharmaceutical composition. The botulinum neurotoxin is stabilized by the formation of complex between the toxin and anesthetic. The present invention further provides a method for treating wrinkles using the said pharmaceutical composition.
