  • Peptide-Based Influenza Vaccine Formulation
    Publication number: 20090104216
    Abstract: Peptide-based anti-influenza formulations against influenza A and B are disclosed. The peptides are derived from influenza-based epitopes. The formulations are based on peptide mixtures which may be formulated so that variability is present at particular residues. The formulations can be used to prepare vaccines for preventing influenza in human, avian, murine or equine animals.

  • Immunogenic formulation and process for preparation thereof
    Patent number: 7118874
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for preparation of a immunogenic peptide mixture in a single synthesis. The peptide mixture collectively represents the in vivo variability seen in immunogenic epitopes from a pathogen. The mixture is termed a hypervariable epitope construct (HEC). Immunization with a HEC evokes broadly reactive immunity against divergent strains of a pathogen upon which the HEC is based.
